That's what I was leaning towards, thanks!

I would do what 'Cometic' says, IMO...they make the gasket

That would be nice, maybe eventually but I need to get it don't asap!

Thanks Rocketman!

The guys I had resurface my head recommended I uses a k&m gold surface prep spray for my cosmetic head gasket, but cosmetic says to do it dry. What would you do?

If your going to replace the head you might as well upgrade to a B6DE and Matching Intake manifold from a 94-98 Mx3.. that head flows better from what ive read.. and you must use the intake because the injectors are in the head and not in the intake

and i believe you need to put a plug in the head..not a big deal

just an option

FEL-PRO ES72210 for new grommets

[festivBS]

I also need new valve cover grommets, is there any alternative or should I just order new grommets?

try looking for a 30mm.

What size of freeze plug did you guys use for the t-stat housing? I measured the hole and it has a 1 3/16" ID and I can't find any plugs that size.

awesome, thank you all for the information.
I found a full assembly b6 head on miataturbo.net for 120 shipped
definitely my 2nd favorite forum site under FF.com of course

My b6t has a Miata Head, and block, and pistons. It's all the same stuff (except the pistons give a little more squeeze and the cams have more overlap). 1 freeze plug and your good to go. Also, the Valve springs are different on a Miata and they have lighter valves too. It all interchanges though.

Do you plan on swapping the intake? if not you will be in trouble! the b6t has the injectors bungs in intake, the miata head has the injector bungs in the head, so you would need a intake, the miata intake wont fit and will hit the strut tower. you could try and source a mx3 intake which will work.

The 1.6 Miata has the injectors in the manifold, too. The 1.8L miata has the injectors in the head, like the other BP's.

[festivBS]

As of now I have 2 options lined up if neither comes through, I would probably be interested in what you're talking about Grey Vw

[Grey Vw]

You could grab the head off a N/A Capri. I have a b6t head from my b6t that failed but everything looks okay,I don't know why it failed.
