Engine & transmission config? Is engine direct-injection and/or turbo design?

What does the tsb say? Suggest to post a link if possible.

It’s not very likely someone will respond here saying they have the same vehicle and same problem.

hmmm… I see what is motivating your posting … what are the terms of your car’s engine warranty? If you are beyond the warranty duration, about all you can do is sigh for having bad luck, and ask a Mazda customer assistance rep if they can offer any help given you probably aren’t much beyond the new car warranty.

From the drawings it appears this is a turbo engine design, right? What about direct injection? Any indications of vacuum pump failure?

$4500 for a replacement head and the job’s labor is pretty reasonable imo.
