Most applications share the Mazda F6 1.6-litre 8-valve engine with 81.00 mm bore. The Mazda 323 160i with B6 engine uses a smaller 78.00 mm bore — please verify your engine code before fitting. The Ford Bantam, Laser, Meteor, Courier and Tracer are badge-engineered Mazda products using the same F6 power unit. Title text also references Ford Tracer B6 coverage under this set. Coverage spans from the 1983 Mazda 626 through to the 2003 Mazda 323 Midge/Sting.
Full Gasket Sets are classified as engine-internal components. We strongly recommend that installation is carried out by a qualified, VAT-registered workshop. Incorrect fitment may result in serious engine damage. Once packaging has been opened or seals broken, this product cannot be returned under our returns policy. Please confirm the OEM part number and vehicle application before opening.
Installation Tips
- Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly, removing old gasket material and carbon deposits before fitting new gaskets.
- Check the cylinder head and block for warpage using a straight edge and feeler gauge; resurface if out of specification.
- Torque all fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications using a calibrated torque wrench and the correct tightening sequence.
- Replace head bolts if the engine uses torque-to-yield (TTY) fasteners — these are designed for single use only.
- Allow silicone sealant (where specified) to cure fully before filling coolant or starting the engine.
