  • SOHC B8 gasket set question.

    I have an engine out of a 1992 Mazda Protege DX (SOHC 1.8L B8 ) awaiting install with lots of help from gauge_half_inch. I'm set to the task of buying the odds and ends of getting it ready.

    When Link5186 and and him were removing it in the 'yard, he noted it had a small nose oil pump (I pray I'm right here, I'm very new to working on cars), and I believe he said he thought the B8 usually had a large nose.

    Anyway, my question is if this is the correct gasket set? I've done a lot of searching and haven't found any reference to large nose/small nose being a problem when getting a fresh set.

    And the order page: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...artnum=FGS4051

    Or if there are any eBay kits that would be more cost-effective and be the same thing? I've seen a few on there, but I really wasn't sure.

    Thank you!

      The difference if there is will be by year. The only difference will be the crank seal, that's all.
