It is listed on the Parts CD as a separate item so it must be removable. No indication as to how to remove it from the CD though.
The part number is BPE8-15-270 if you want to just try to get a new one. It is listed on the Online Mazda Parts as a Pipe, water bypass and costs 18.48 Larry White Knight 1991 Crystal White #99 CSP Silver Bullet 1992 Silverstone #17 SM2 FM I+ Turbo Honey B 1992 Sunburst Yellow #99 SM2L JR Supercharger Whooosh 2004 Titanium Mazdaspeed MX-5 LowCountry Miata http://www.lowcountrymiataclub.net Masters Miata RAGS 074 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Knudson Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2008 11:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: removing water outlet from head Hello, I am in the process of replacing the head in my 97 with a rebuilt one from cylinder-heads.com . old head was running way to much oil through valve guides. any ways we have all but one piece switched over from old to rebuilt one. There is a little water outlet on the back of the head next to the main water outlet. Can any one give me some suggestions on how to remove it? and possibly to install it in the newer head? we have tried heating it and cooling it, but the material transfers heat/cold to fast to work it seems (even with torch on head and dry ice on the tube) suggestion from cylinder-heads.com is to tap it back and forth with a hammer and use vice grips to twist/pull it. I have not tried this just yet (head is in a friends garage right now) here are a few pictures to show what i am talking about. *old head*: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2406194237/ *new head*: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2406194283/ Thanks _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
