Creator's Key Takeaways

So, it turns out that Steven of the Past only put sealant on one side of the header gaskets, which is the engine side.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use Mazda oil pressure and coolant temperature sensors with the LS engine for gauge compatibility.
✓Ground out the coolant level sensor wire to disable the buzzer if the sensor is missing.
✓Use a 1k ohm resistor to fix the tachometer signal for aftermarket gauges.
✓Consider using a Speed Hut Speed Box to convert electronic speedometer signal to cable drive for the RX7.
✓Ensure all radiator hose clamps are tightened to prevent leaks after thermostat replacement.
