Where does it go? I'm worried I missed this as I have just completed my first re-build. Engine is still out of the car and this is the only part I cannot place. Having a tough time locating a reference to it in the FSM. Last thing i want is an oil leak.

 

Pic points to o-ring i am referring too.

 

The only O-rings that are internal to the motor are the 4 dowel pin o-rings, the front cover o-ring that has the white spacer that goes around it, the o-ring around the front pulley bolt, and the large thin o-ring that goes around the rear stationary gear.

That one o-ring by itself I'm not sure where it goes. That might be for the oil level sender or something. As long as you have the o-rings I mentioned above in the motor, anything else should be easy to deal with while the engine is in the car.

Thanks Dale. I installed the o-rings you mentioned.. pretty sure i'm good to this point. Just trying to confirm.

The stock oil ring kits from Mazda contain many spare parts.
