Good for NA8 Miata Best in Gaskets

Installed these guys on my NA8 Miata engine with no problems using one of the magnetic spring retainer removal tools. I was surprised at how much oil these guys had left over while working. Smokey driving for 20 miles or so before it cleared up. I was a bit concerned that I messed up the installation.

Pros
  • Few Competitors
Cons
  • Vulgarity

First time I got the wrong fillings. Buyer Warning.

First order received, installed husband in his suburban car who had smoking problems. 4 hours after the birth smoking became worse than before.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Unusable features

Pros
  • New
