you have to know how to install it properly. All bolts need to be torqued to spec and new grommets have to be used. Also you need to use gasket maker on it.
Their problems were fixed with a genuine Mada gasket. No way should you need a gasket maker with those..
says who? Check this page from online manual...look at the valve cover gasket, see word "sealant" next to it?

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!!
