So I bid and won a full head rebuild/VRS gasket kit for a:-

1.8 323 1996-1997 BA
8EBE-10-271

The upper line is hand written. The lower parts code is printed normally as per Mazda Automobile Genuine Parts sticker above the barcode.

So I'm looking at it and the head gasket looks somewhat too short to me through the plastic. So I went in for a closer look and opened up the outer kit wrapping.

And I find 2 head gaskets with only 3 bore holes in each. Damn it's a full VRS kit for a 2.0/V6 engine! Had a look at each rocker cover gasket, the codes on them are KL01 235 and KL01 2D5. All the other parts are in plastic sleeve and stapled closed.

I'm guessing that the upper description should have been written, "2.0 323 1996-1997 BA"
