    The FS is Mazda's 2 litre 16-valve four-cylinder fitted from 1991 to 2006 to the 626 (generations III to V), the MX-6, the BJ generation 323 and the MPV II people carrier, with 115 to 140 hp depending on version.

    Ford also used it in the Telstar 2.0 i from 1993 to 1999 and, in Australia, in the Telstar AX and AY from 1992 to 1996 and the Laser KQ 2.0 i in 2001 and 2002, with 116 to 133 hp.

    It has 8 exhaust valves, two per cylinder, which take the heat of the burnt gases on every cycle.

    SUPERTECH reinforced exhaust valves

    On a naturally aspirated engine such as the FS, the metal of an exhaust valve head rises to 760 to 870 °C, and beyond 1,000 °C when turbocharged. The seat removes about 75 % of it, the guide nearly 20 %. An EV8 family steel holds 550 MPa at 600 °C but only 300 MPa at 800 °C: the head fatigues, distorts and sealing drops.

    SUPERTECH offers two materials: a black nitrided EV16 stainless steel, whose hardened surface resists wear in the guide, and Inconel, a nickel base superalloy that keeps 860 MPa at 732 °C and 554 MPa at 816 °C, about 85 % more than EV8 family steel around 800 °C; Inconel is the material to choose when turbocharged.

    Both sets have a 28.6 mm head, enlarged by 1 mm: burnt gases leave faster, the cylinder empties better and the engine gains power. The exhaust seats are machined to this size on assembly.

    Check the condition of the collets on reassembly and their fit in the stem groove.

    The 5.96 mm stem slides in the guides: check their clearance and fit new valve stem seals.

    The 28.6 mm head requires the exhaust seats to be machined to this size.

    OEM part number (exhaust valve):

    Important: a set of 8 covers the whole engine (two exhaust valves per cylinder); both sets are +1 mm and need the seats machined. The FS2C, FSZE, FS7E / FS7G and FS-DS codes are not covered by this page.

    Don't forget the inlet valves

    When rebuilding the FS cylinder head, also replace the inlet valves and the valve stem seals.
