Anyways this is a picture of the OEM gasket from Mazda. It is a gasket, the silicone is only recomended around the corners, it should not be used inplace of a real gasket. If you are interested I have 58 showing for the left side in the Toronto warehouse and 44 for the right side. Scarboro Mazda also gives club discounts!!
