Both applications share a 78.00 mm bore from Mazda’s B-series engine family. The Z6 (Z601/Z627 variants) is the later evolution used in the Mazda 3 BK platform, while the B6ZE powered the original NA-generation MX-5. Title text confirms both BK12 and BK14 (Sport) chassis variants are covered.
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.
