Alternate the Timing Region in a Mazda 626
The 1983 concluded 1988 Mazda 626 features a 2.0L engine or a 2.0L turbo engine. Both engines obtain the alike timing band procedure and are interference engines, which money that should the girth stretch gone its great activity, the valves Testament most credible hit the pistons and doer stretched damage. Mazda recommends changing the timing belt every 60,000 miles. Jack the front of the 626 up with the floor jack and device it with jack stands. Remove the honorable rotate using the lug wrench. Remove the due splashguard using the congruous socket.
It takes approximately two and a half hours to pennies the timing zone.
Instructions
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable and place it aside, ensuring that it does not touch metal.2. Loosen the accessory drive zone tensioners, then lift the trappings coerce belts off the pulleys. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolts, then pull the pulley off. Remove the upper and lower timing girdle covers and seals using the apt sockets.
3. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the timing aim "A" on the camshaft lines up with the incision at the 12 o'Watch position on the mind. The crankshaft marks Testament limit up at the 12 o'Watch position.
4. Loosen the tensioner bolt and push the tensioner outside from the belt. Tighten the tensioner bolt just enough to hold the tensioner out of the way. Lift the timing belt off the sprockets. Check that both timing marks are still lined up.
5. Install the timing belt starting on the crankshaft sprocket. Route it over the top of the camshaft sprocket, keeping tension between the two sprockets. Bring the other side of the timing belt up from the crankshaft to the water pump pulley, then route it behind the tensioner.
6. Loosen the tensioner bolt and allow the tensioner to put tension on the belt. Turn the crankshaft clockwise two turns. Check that both timing marks are lined up. Apply a load of 22 pounds halfway between the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. If the deflection is not between 0.47 and 0.55 inches, repeat Step 6.
7. Install remainder of the parts in reverse order of removal. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolts to 10 foot-pounds of torque.
