Cometic lists it for the 1994-1997 Mazda Miata (NA, 1.8L) and the 1999-2000 Mazda Miata (NB1). Gasket thickness is one of the variables used to set compression ratio and piston-to-head clearance in a built engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for an 85 mm bore, for BP engines bored 2 mm over the stock 83 mm; match the gasket bore to the engine's finished bore size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressed thickness .070 in, more than twice the 0.032 in factory 1994-2000 metal gasket; a thick gasket adds combustion-chamber volume and lowers compression, or restores deck clearance after machining; Cometic does not publish a compression ratio for this gasket, so calculate it for your build\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-layer MLS (multi-layer stainless steel) construction; Cometic uses five layers on its thicker gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter stainless steel layers carry a .001 in Viton rubber coating; installed dry, without additional sealant (Cometic says extra sealer can hinder sealing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires smooth, flat and true head and block deck surfaces; Cometic recommends a surface finish of 50 Ra or finer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order by Cometic (2-3 week production time); use the head bolt (fastener) manufacturer's torque values\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1994-1997 Mazda Miata (NA, 1.8L BP-ZE) and 1999-2000 Mazda Miata (NB1, 1.8L BP-4W).
