Review on Beck Arnley 036 1768 Valve Gasket by Matt Welch

Bought for my 2007 Mazda 3 GT hatchback (Canadian version) and it fits perfectly. I fixed an oil consumption issue. Oil seeped through the gasket and into every hole in the spark plug, seeping into the combustion chambers and burning. The spark plugs were full of oil when I pulled them out. After replacing the seal the problem went away. Super easy do-it-yourself solution. Search online car forums for the factory manual for your specific model and follow the sequence to loosen and tighten all of the bolts. This is actually very important in order not to warp the cover. Do not overtighten, these screws are hand held tight (7 ft/lbs). I used a 1/4" drive ratchet and basically pulled it all the way down and then tapped it lightly. That's really all you need for torque for fasteners under 10 ft/lbs. Fear not! You can do it .
