I have been looking for a while to replace the OEM Plastic Valve cover
It was only available for Miata pre 2.0L applications. I have found the plastic to bleed oil when hot or exposed to higher oil pressure
because you cannot be tightened like a metal cover.
danST makes an Aluminum cover for the Duratec 2.0L = MX5 MZR 2.0L which is also in the Mazda 3 Gen 2 and will fit the 2.5L
