Solid Eccentric Shaft Thermal Pellet - Would this fail inspections/emissions?
Hello all,
Im looking at buying the Atkins Rotary Solid Thermal Pellet, considering it’s super cheap and bypasses the normal thermostat that only allows oil passage into the eccentric shaft when the car is up to temperature, I don’t really see a downside.
My questions are 1, is it actually worth it? I’ve seen anyone that has mentioned it say they do it to every build.
And 2, would this affect emissions to the point it could fail inspection/emissions in the state of Pennsylvania? I don’t really see how it would but I’d rather ask others that may have experience with this and have replaced the thermal pellet.
Any input helps, thanks!

No changing the thermal pellet would not throw a check engine light or affect the exhaust of the vehicle in any measurable way.
Generally most people go to this style thermo pellet when rebuilding, or just buy a new set from mazda. Personally I prefer the simple design of the solid(atkins) thermopellet from a failure standpoint.
