Cam cover gasket, Mazda MX-5 mk1, mk2 & mk2.5 1.6 1989-2005

 

Rocker cover gasket, Mazda MX5 & Eunos Roadster mk1, mk2 & mk2.5 1.6, 1989-2005.  Note the 1.6 mk1 has the CAS on the rear of the inlet camshaft.

 

Fitting tips:


  1. Mark the position of the cam angle sensor so it is put back in the same place (mk1 only).
  2. Remove the coil pack (2 x 12mm bolts at the top and one at the bottom down the back of the head).
  3. Remove the cam cover (11 x 10mm bolts).
  4. Remove the old cam cover gasket and any traces of sealant round the top face of the head.
  5. Unbolt the cap behind the inlet cam (2 x 12mm bolts) - mk1 only.
  6. Remove the CAS, carefully cut off the old o-ring - mk1 only.
  7. Fit the new o-ring and replace the CAS, no sealant is required, just a smear of oil - mk1 only.
  8. Do up the 2 x 12mm bolts - mk1 only.
  9. Push the new gasket into the slot in the cam cover, making the lower face as even as possible.
  10. Put a blob of silicone sealant in each of the 90 degree corners of the head where the camshafts go.
  11. Fit the cam cover dropping it vertically down into place, don't try and slide it on as the gasket can get kinked and the silicone blobs disturbed.
  12. Tighten the 11 x 10mm bolts in sequence, working from the centre, tightening them a bit at a time, do not overtighten as they are easily snapped.
  13. Re-fit the coil pack.
  14. Check the oil level is between the max and min marks on the dipstick.
  15. Start the engine and check for leaks.
