Victor Reinz Exhaust Manifold Gasket - MX-5 Mk3 NC 1.8 & 2.0 • 71-39471-00

Replacement Victor Reinz exhaust manifold gasket for Mazda MX-5 Mk3 / NC 1.8 and 2.0 petrol models listed in the compatibility table.

Victor Reinz 71-39471-00 is an exhaust manifold gasket designed to seal the joint between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold on the Mazda MZR / L-series petrol engine.

The gasket contains the high-temperature exhaust gases passing from the cylinder head into the exhaust manifold, maintaining a secure seal across the manifold flange. It is a one-piece multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket with an integrated heat shield, designed for the demanding temperatures and repeated thermal cycling experienced at this joint.

Part details:

• Brand: Victor Reinz
• Product type: Exhaust manifold gasket
• Victor Reinz part number: 71-39471-00
• Construction: Multi-layer steel (MLS)

Common reasons for replacement:

• Exhaust gas leakage from the manifold-to-cylinder-head joint
• Ticking or blowing noise around the exhaust manifold
• Soot marking around the manifold flange
• Exhaust manifold removal
• Cylinder head removal or repair
• Engine overhaul or rebuild work

Fitment advice:
This gasket is suitable for the confirmed Mazda MX-5 Mk3 / NC 1.8 and 2.0 applications shown in the compatibility table. The gasket should be replaced whenever the exhaust manifold sealing joint has been disturbed rather than reusing a compressed or heat-cycled gasket.

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

Other items to consider purchasing:

• Exhaust manifold studs
• Exhaust manifold nuts
• Exhaust front pipe / downpipe gasket where disturbed
• Replacement exhaust hardware where corroded or damaged
• Penetrating fluid
• Suitable anti-seize compound where appropriate

Useful tools / consumables:

• Torque wrench
• Suitable socket and extension set
• Penetrating fluid for seized exhaust fasteners
• Gasket-removal and surface-cleaning tools
• Suitable exhaust fastener lubricant / anti-seize where specified

Difficulty guide: Intermediate to advanced. Exhaust fasteners are frequently exposed to significant heat and corrosion, so care should be taken when removing the manifold to avoid damaged studs or threads.

Why Victor Reinz?
Victor Reinz is Dana's specialist sealing brand, supplying application-specific gasket and sealing products for engine and exhaust-system repairs. Its exhaust manifold gaskets are designed to withstand the substantial heat and thermal cycling experienced at the cylinder-head-to-manifold joint.

Installation notes:
Ensure the cylinder-head and exhaust-manifold mating surfaces are clean, flat and free from remnants of the previous gasket. Inspect the manifold, studs and nuts for damage or corrosion before assembly. Tighten the exhaust manifold fasteners evenly and follow the appropriate Mazda workshop tightening sequence and specification.
