Cam Sensor 'O' Ring MX5 Mk1 Reviews

5 Rating 9 Reviews

Camshaft Sensor 'O' Ring. Located at the back of the cylinder head, if this seal fails it will produce quite a large oil leak the can seem as if the rear crank oil seal has failed. If in doubt, always replace this first.Fits all Mazda MX5 Mk1 models, 1989>1998

“Had a leak on my NA and eventually located it to the æCam Sensor æOÆ ringÆ. Fit this and now all good again, hopefully have another 30 years happy motoring.”

“Works perfectly. I had suffered from an oil leak from the back of the engine for several years. I had even replaced the cam sensor o-ring before,but the problem was, somebody had installed an o-ring with too-small cross section. I replaced it with one the same that, of course, still leaked. MX5parts supplied the correct one and now, no oil drips on the garage floor! I have a 1990 MX5 with the sensor on the right hand side of the block. Do not try to do this job without taking the cam cover off - there’s no way of getting the cam sensor out because the bulkhead gap is too small. With the cover off, it’s easy to mark the position, remove the saddle over the sensor and replace the o-ring.”

“ce joint qui fait 38mm intérieur pour un tor de 3.5mm est indispensable si vous ne voulez plus avoir une fuite d'huile au sol.Sur le papier , ce n'est pas trop difficile à changer mais dans la réalité, l'encombrement réduit et l'accessibilité ne facilitent pas son remplacement.Il faut bien repérer la position du CAS et aussi la position des 2 ailettes au moment du retrait.Mon ancien joint était dur et aplatit, il s'est d'ailleurs cassé quand je l'ai retiré avec un tournevis.Bon courage, mais cela se fait avec de la patience et de bons tutoriels!”

“Definitely worth replacing a hardened o-ring as will invariably be the case with most Mk1s. In my case, the continuous dripping of hot oil on to the heater inlet hose perished the rubber until it eventually popped with very dramatic results - steam everywhere!”

“Just what you need to stop that leak down the back of the block. I've just done mine so Im hoping it's sealed. I found it dead easy to change with the cam cover off.”

“Noticed the leak from the smell of hot oil! Job took 40 mins. Not quite the 10 others have claimed.Used a Stanley knife with a new blade to cut the O ring on the diagonal in the groove then pulled it out with a pair of pin-nose pliers. The re-fit was the worst bit, took 7-8 goes to line up the tangs. Usual excellent service from the folks here. Tip: buy 2 rings, just incase!”
