Grab ankles & pre-lube prior to payment, though.

 

Good. Don't use one. Use silicont rtv sealant. I'm 2 for 2 with oem gaskets and oil leaks. They don't work. I'm also 2 for 2 with silicone sealant and zero oil leaks.....

 

the factory uses sealant, so you should too. the part number for the mazda stuff is 8527-77-739, hondabond, or toyotabond works well too, shoot even ford has a tube of the mazda stuff with a motorcraft label

 

im going to try to use the sealent hopefully that works thank for all the info

 

If you really want a gasket I've got a used one in good shape I'd give you for the cost of shipping and a box.

 

I always use the gaskets, and they always go in 'wet' (with RTV or sealer.) Never had a leak.
