1999 2.0i petrol. Inlet Manifold Gasket.

[olebrock]

One for the 'Bongo masters'.
I need to replace the Head(cam) Cover gasket (F20110235D) and have found a nr. of alternative manufacture part nrs. (including Ford) which can be easily accessed in UK and to be on the safe side, need to obtain the Intake manifold gasket (FEMJ13135) when I have to remove/split this manifold, but having done the 'google' search cannot find any alternative nr's for this one !
Can anyone give me any other manufacture nr's. (or recommended web sites) so that I don't have to order from Mazda UK ?
Mny thks for any help.

note: plenty of 2.5 diesel gaskets ( and V6's) but no good for the 2.0 petrol models.

I'm pretty sure there was a post recently, about the vehicles that share the same engine with the 2 litre, that maybe worth pursuing?

Here you go - http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... ne#p376742 - not sure if it'll be any help or not?

Thks for a quick reply Kirsty, but I tried that one, exhaust gaskets ok but cant find any input manifold ones !
Don't want to split the manifold to change the head cover gasket and find I cant use the old input gasket !
Ordering parts from Mazda seems to take weeks
best regards
Colin.

What about getting hold of some gasket material & making one up? used to have to do that all the time at sea, no spares shops in the middle of the ocean

So thats what happened to our Merchant Marine
I gave up cutting out my own gaskets in the 60's ....... if I can find an alternative UK supplier I should be able to get one for £6 - £10 quid and a couple of days delivery ?????!!!!!
(if all else fails I could use some tube sealer on the old gasket as a 'belt and braces' job).
cheers
Colin.

When you've got 100's of different size pipe & valve flanges, let alone countless bits of machinery that could be anything up to 20- 30 years old, a well known oil company reluctant to spend any money on maintenance, a b**tard of a chief engineer that won't provide anything but the basics, you have to get with some proper engineering with what's available
