The Mazda 6 Valve Cover Gasket provides a tight, heat-resistant seal that holds valuable engine oil within the head and keeps dust and moisture out, which is an easy thing to do and it preserves performance and spares owners messy leaks. Famous with fans due to its durability, the gasket features a modern silicone-reinforced rubber compound that maintains flexibility despite billions of heat cycles, thus the valvetrain in every Mazda remains clean and oily. It is located directly at the top of the powerplant, which means it must endure a constant deluge of oil and extreme temperature variations (cold mornings at dawn and snarling traffic in the summer), and as a result, covering a year of service without leaks demonstrates its strong construction and well thought-out materials choice. It fits perfectly three generations of Mazda 6 sporty sedans and wagons as well as the turbocharged version called Mazdaspeed 6, allowing drivers to have a single reliable part number instead of a disorienting assortment of choices. The Valve Cover Gasket also reduces chances of fumes or even fire by avoiding the case of oil seeping onto hot exhaust parts, and this provides an extra layer of security on the daily commutes that is never considered. Its tight fit also ensures that the crankcase breathing system is not sludged, and this allows the fuel to burn more efficiently and the sensors to compute mixtures precisely to increase efficiency. The new material, as opposed to the old cork, which shrank or split in the heat, rebounds each time the temperature changes, and therefore retorquing the cover bolts is a special requirement rather than a daily task. The other feature worthy of note is the shaped sealing bead that adheres to the intricate contour of the alloy head, giving consistent pressure but not excessively tight fitting, an advantage that seasoned tuners have relied on in pursuit of high revs. Be it a first-year Mazda 6 or the recent facelifted version, installing a new Valve Cover Gasket in this upscale one restores the quietness of factory-fresh, maintains the oil, and keeps the spirit and character that goes into the manufacture of this brand alive.
