Heat is the number one enemy of the rotary engine, and on Mazda RX8 Series 1 models (2003–2008) the oil metering pump (OMP) sits very close to the exhaust manifold; this stainless OMP Heat Shield provides a vital thermal barrier to protect this critical component.
- Constructed from durable stainless steel for excellent heat reflection and longevity
- Specifically shaped to mount between the manifold and OMP on Series 1 (2003–2008) cars
- Provides an essential layer of protection against radiant exhaust heat
- Simple, preventative upgrade that can help avoid costly OMP-related repairs
This shield offers inexpensive but crucial insurance for your Renesis, helping ensure the OMP can continue operating reliably in the harsh thermal environment of the engine bay.
