you will fall over at the price for mazda ones. But there is no substitute for quality.

I may be looking for a 1.8 gasket kit so, I checked autobarn were around 400 for a seal kit. Aftermarket. I've never herd of the brand power something?

When I rebuilt my 1.6 motor I got a seal kit from ebay usa. Some gaskets fitted well. Others like the cam cover were not even close. Was a lot cheaper than 400 though. Let us know what you find gasket wise.
