I asked this question a while ago and almost forgot about it. Will the 1.8l valve cover from da miata fit on da protege motor? I know its the same motor but it is position ed differently so it may have diffferent places for the plugs. I'm just wondering because I plan on buying alot of stuff over the next couple of months. I'm going to buy the 1.8l in.... 4 days? I'm also going to get a Cold Air intake in the next week weeks. And I will get da Miata Camshaft and maybe pistons! From their on, i'll add super fuel injectors, finally get marcio to install da MSD ignition i still have, and da intake manifold and throttle body from ES. After a good port and polish job with a 3 angle valve job! Well.. back to my original question. If anyone knows bout the valve cover let me know

Anyway, the 1.8L Miata Valve cover will bolt to the BP head found in the Protege. However, I couldn't tell you if the plastic covers on the front (timing belt area) will mate up. You may have to exchange those as well.-Kevin

Hrm... a fraction of a second is a long time. If i wanted to seem more intelligent, then I would be in class at the moment. I'm online on my computer.. so that means I do what i like and being lazy and typing "da" is what I rather do instead of typing the.Don't have a car anymore... cry with me
