Greg, what does the Mazda part look like?  Is the rubber portion shaped like
the 
Honda part?  Jim

The
best valve cover bolt seals we have found for any of the TR engines that 
have
5/16" studs comming up through the valve cover is a Maxda part #
0324-10-237.  They are a steel washer with a rubber seal bonded to the 
bottom
of it. The steel is ridged enough to distribute the load and help 
prevent
distorting the valve cover. they seal perfectly and are inexpensive. 
They can
be used over and over again may times. We sell them for $2.87 each.
