Water pump gasket for FS-DE water pump

K&N Performance Gold® Oil Filters Originally developed for demanding auto race applications, our premium oil filter is rapidly becoming a favorite among consumers for its durability and easy removal. We’ve changed oil filters and several of our product development technicians are sportsman class drag racers. They insisted we offer an oil filter that corrected the “headaches” they experienced over the years changing oil filters.

King Bearings rod bearing set for Mazda Protege FS Engines.

These valve seals are required when using the Supertech Dual Valve Springs and the Supertech valve guides.

Quality MLS head gasket.

Rod bearings for the FS engine.

Urethane engine mounts reduce drive line lash caused by stock rubber mounts which are too soft. Gives tighter more precise shifting and better throttle response. Precious horsepower is lost with the flex and give of the stock rubber mounts. These stiffer mounts greatly reduce engine flex and transfer more of that valuable force and horsepower to the street.

Obtaining the optimum cylinder head-to-block sealing is especially critical in small displacement engines employing high compression pistons or power adders like turbochargers, nitrous oxide and superchargers. That’s why ARP® head studs are popular among leading Sport Compact/Import racers. You should know that ARP® uses a premium grade 8740 alloy that is rated far superior to "aircraft" quality. Then, each stud is precisely heat-treated to 200,000 psi. Following heattreat, each stud is centerless ground to make it as close to perfectly concentric as possible. This procedure involves about ten very slight cuts and results in an exceptionally straight part. It’s important to note that lesser quality studs are not even centerless ground—the material is thread rolled in bar stock form (mostly before heat-treat, when the material is easier to machine). Because ARP® studs are manufactured to such exacting tolerances, you will note that gaskets and cylinder heads literally glide into position and are perfectly aligned—something that won’t happen with inferior quality head studs. ARP® studs are thread rolled after heat-treat, which gives them about 1000% (that’s ten times) better fatigue strength than those studs that are threaded prior to heat-treat. Premium parallel ground washers and Hex nuts (10 each) are also included with each kit. ARP is the leader in fasteners for racing and high performance. More winning teams use ARP fasteners than all others combined. Top quality, exact tolerances, the best materials and machining processes, and the ability to survive the rigors or racing and get you in the winner's circle make ARP fasteners the #1 choice.

Complete mount on top of transmission for Mazda Protege with 70 or 88, or 95 durometer solid urethane bushings. Improves driveline response by inhibiting driveling lash, putting all that motion to the task of moving the car along.

Completely new fabricated and reinforced mount, silver powder coated. The 70 durometer bushings, which are recommended for the street. The 88 durometer bushings are a bit firmer, and the 95 durometer which are only recommended for racing. These are too hard for the street and may cause undesirable resonance in the car. For street applications, order the mounts with the 70 durometer bushings.

Supertech Valve Springs are made with premium Superclean Chrome Silicon Vanadium Steel Alloy for higher performance and durability at high RPM ranges. The Supertech materials also provide for better memory, which translates into higher performance.

Computer designed to ensure that wire stress levels do not overpass their limits, Supertech Valve Springs are manufactured for long term durability even under the most extreme conditions.
