Location: Upper Darby, PA		Every part store I've tried - including NAPA - lists a 5/8" ID washer for the A block. Mine is 7/8" - I can buy twenty of 'em on Amazon, but it will be next week before I get them.

Has anyone else run into this? I don't care if it's for a Mazda - can someone tell me what year/make/model requires a 7/16" crush gasket? None of the counter jockeys I've encountered are inclined to rummage, but if I can point them to chapter and verse, perhaps I can resolve my dilemma in short order.

Location: Chestertown, NY ( near Lake George)		Try and convert that to a metric size, that's how modern oil pan drain plug washers are sized. 11mm might work. Here's a sample. https://www.amazon.com/F4XY-6734-11026-01M02-Sealing-Compatible-Infi...

Location: Upper Darby, PA		D’Oh! Of course - great idea. Thanks! (I think 22mm is what I’ll need.)

Location: Upper Darby, PA		My bad, Shep - I meant 7/8". I've since corrected my post. Thanks for the suggestion, I've ordered from Amazon, will be here Thursday! I'm all set.
