Replacement Victor Reinz full engine gasket and seal set for Mazda MX-5 Mk1 / NA and early Mk2 / NB 1.8 BP petrol engines listed in the compatibility table.

Victor Reinz 01-53125-02 is a comprehensive full engine gasket set designed for major overhaul and rebuild work on the Mazda 1.8 BP-series petrol engine. It brings together the principal engine gaskets and seals required when dismantling and rebuilding the engine, helping avoid the need to source the major sealing components individually.

The set includes valve stem seals and crankshaft oil seals and is specified for use in conjunction with Victor Reinz cylinder-head bolt set 14-55074-01.

Fitment advice:
This kit is intended for the confirmed naturally aspirated 1.8 BP-engine applications shown in the compatibility table. It should not be assumed suitable for later 1.8 VVT engines simply because they share the wider BP engine family. A different gasket set is required for the later Mk2.5 / NB-FL 1.8 VVT application.

For imported, modified or previously repaired cars, matching the part number, gasket style or component specification on the parts being replaced is recommended.
