2004 Mazda 3 S Valve Cover questions!
 
Hey guys I can't seem to get the valve cover to stop leaking on my 3. Its an S with the 2.3 I've replaced the gasket several times and am starting to think that the plastic valve cover is warped or distorted in some way. I've tried finding an Aluminum Replacement and there are some listed on Amazon for 06 and up Cars with the 2.3. Will this cover still work on my 04? I know that the coils are different but I don't know if the bolt pattern on the cover is also different. If anyone has any alternative options I'm all ears! Thanks

I'm looking for the same information. Were you able to solve it?
