Where is the best place in Canada to buy a new top end gaskets, quality head gaskets and head bolts for a 1993 B2600i. Preferably in B.C. but will settle for anywhere in Canada.
Rockauto.com has a whole top end kit that includes a head gasket. ships to Canada.
What is a quality head gasket from rockauto?
I've ordered two from Rock. One lasted 4 yrs, the other came with a slight bend so I did not use it. I ended up ordering an OEM one to WA state and went across the border to pick it up.
Ok thanks for the help. One more question, where can I find a new head for my truck? I cant find one anywhere.
I have found heads for sale in Clearwater Florida but that is a long ways from home and I have found a couple very bad reviews on the company. Anyone have any experience with these heads and company?
Axel Breaker Earl has used them.
Thank you Cusser. Does this company ship to Canada?
I did a reman head off eBay from J&C Enterprises about 2 years ago, I had an intake valve stick open about 5 months ago and haven't driven the truck since (about to finally have time to fix it). Have a bad taste in my mouth from the rebuilt heads off eBay since.
I keep hearing about these mysterious new heads that Mazda apparently released with improved coolant passage design. Does anyone know anything about these?
Rockauto sells this cylinder head brand new: EngineTech Cylinder Head, but I called EngineTech and apparently this is a casting of the OEM design, no improvement over stock (although well-priced at under $300 from rockauto).
I also saw this cylinder head: CIFIC Cylinder Head. I called the company that sells them and apparently these are an improved design, but unfortunately you have to transfer over your valves, springs and camshaft/rockers, as it is a completely bare head.
