OMG, funny that you all assume that its definitely not a DOHC yes it could be a 1.8 SOHC 16 valve B8-ME. And no BP Has engine rockers, they have lifters. Didn't you guys see that therieldeal said that hes talking about the lower rocker panels are solid, meaning straight without rust.

B8

The 1.8 L (1839 cc, 112 cu in) B8 is not just a bored and stroked B6. Rather, a new block with widened cylinder spacing. The bore is 83 mm and the stroke is 85 mm. This SOHC engine was used in various Australian Mazda 323s and the American 1990-1994 Mazda Protege. It came in both 8 (B8-E) and 16-valve variants (B8-ME).

The B8ME is also found in Canadian variants of the 323 hatchback.

BP

The 1.8 L (1839 cc, 112 cu in) BP is a dual-overhead variant of the B8. It was first found in the 1989 Mazda Familia and American-market 1990 Mazda Protege LX. This engine was dubbed BP-ZE and featured a forged crankshaft, piston oil squirters, an aluminum baffled oil pan, and Variable Inertia Charging System (VICS). This particular variant can be found in the following vehicles:

* 1989-1994 Mazda Familia GT (European & Australian Market)
* 1989-1994 Ford Laser TX3 (Australian Market)
* 1990-1994 Mazda Protege LX (with VICS)
* 1990-1991 and 1993 Mazda Protege GT (Canadian Market)
* 1990-1993 Mazda 323 (European Market)
* 1992-1993 Ford Escort LX-E
* 1991-1996 Ford Escort GT
* 1991-1996 Mercury Tracer LTS
* 1994-1997 Kia Sephia GS
* 1997 Kia Sephia RS
* 1994-1998 Mazda Familia (Japanese Market)
* 1994-1997 Mazda MX-5/Miata (this did not have VICS until 1999)

There is also a non-performance version that is most easily recognized by its black stamped-steel oil pan. It also features a cast crankshaft, no oil squirters, a plastic oil pickup tube and less aggressive camshafts. It is found in the 1995-1998 Mazda Protege ES.

BPT

The BPT is a turbocharged and intercooled variant of the BP. It produced 179 hp (134 kW) and 174 ft·lbf (237 N·m) of torque.

The most powerful version was named the BPD. It is commonly known as the 'big turbo' variant as it utilised a much larger IHI RHF6CB turbocharger. The BPT was used as the basis for the engine, with changes such as sodium filled exhaust valves, larger (and front mounted) intercooler, bigger fuel injectors and stronger engine internals helping to up the performance of the engine to produce 206 hp (154 kW) and 184 ft·lbf (250 N·m).The VICS system of the N/A BP has been removed. This engine was designed to power Mazda to a world rally championship win, and was thus used in the limited production Mazda Familia GT-R (2200 built) and GTAe (300 built).
