That's the same 1.6 that went into the NA Miata's, isn't it?

If so (and even if not, probably same on other Mazda 1.6 variants), you should consider the front main and camshaft seals as well.

Also - you'll want a new crankshaft bolt. Early Miata 1.6's have a history of the bolts being stretched by overzealous mechanics when earlier TB replacements are done, resulting in the dreaded Short Nose Crank failure (search for that at Miata.net if you want to learn more).
