Are 1.6 & 1.8 oil squirters the same?

Postby ninerwfo » Wed Dec 13, 2017 7:18 am

Hi there folks,frantically scratching around for some oil squirters to complete a build – does anyone know if the 1.6 squirters are the same or interchangeable with the 1.8 squirters?

Or alternatively if anyone else out there has 1.8 squirters to selL, I would be most grateful if you let me know.
Cheers.

Same as far as I can tell from the service manuals.

Does say to replace the two washers per oil jet.

Part numbers are different.

90 and 91/92 catalogues say B660-10-580A
95/96 and 99 catalogues say BP01-10-580 then 580A from early NA8 Edit:typo in part number

Doesn't necessarily mean they're different though.

Edit: Jim Ellis on-line parts says the B660-10-580B replaces B660-10-580A and suits all 1.6 variants from 1988 to 2003. They list the BP01 version for miata motors from 1995 to 2005

Edit 2: every Mazda BP motor from 1990 to 2005 uses the same squirter.
