The timing marks on the crank pulley are 2 little nicks about half the size of a pinhead about 1cm apart. The 'clockwise' one is the ignition timing mark. The one to it's left is TDC. To correctly fit timing belt, crank pulley should be at TDC on the compression stroke & 'E' & 'I' on the cam sprockets should be at 12 o'clock. It's that easy. But the camshafts can move on their own because of the valve spring pressure on the cam lobes, so make sure the camshafts don't move while your trying to fit the belt.
Timing marks for twin cam 1.6L B6 engine. When crank pulley is at TDC on the compression stroke, 'E' & 'I' on the camshaft pulleys should be at 12 o'clock. Too easy.
THERE ARE SMALL HOLES IN THE TIMING GEARS THAT LINE UP WITH MARKS ON THE FRONT OF THE HEAD. When the crank pulley is at TDC on the compression stroke, 'E' & 'I' on the camshaft sprockets should be at 12 o'clock.
the engine number is either at the front right hand side of the motor or the back right hand side
The timing belt on the b6 & k8 motors should be changed every 60-80k miles depending on the wear of the belt. You can check the wear yourself by removing the valve cover on the b6 model where as the k8 is somewhat more difficult and will require removing the timing cover. If there are any nicks, frays, or cracks the belt should be replaced.
On the SOHC 1.6 there are timing marks on the sprocket and rocker cover and on the block on the exhaust side about level with the top of the manifold.. I don't know if this helps. I hope so.
Yes
engine size is found on the engine, but all Mazda engines in the b and z family have the imprint of DOHC on the rocker-cover when they are dohc if you find an imprint of b6-XX-XX then you have a 1.6 and if dohc is found on the rockercover then it is a 1.6 dohc. if you see b8, then that is always a 1.8l SOHC engine
Yes, they are the same diameter.
The code partially is "stamped" on the head.a 1.8 dohc 16v engine is called BP, the 8v is called b8, b6 is for the 1.6 engine, z5 is for the 1994+ 1.5 dohc 16v engine, b5 is the 1.5 before this
sir, we are leading engine re bulders in oman salalah.we want all new model engines crank and bore sizes. if you dont know the answer...shut up! and I'm sorry I engine size??
As far as I'm aware the engine is identical to that used in the MX5, so I'd assume yes it is an interference engine ^^Actually, the engines have the same displacement but that is the only similarity. The blocks are different, the transmissions are different and the heads are totally different. The mx5 engine is a B6 and the protege 1.6l is a ZM or ZM-DE depending on whether or not it is european. That being said, the protege 1.6l engine is non-interference, meaning that if your timing is off or your timing belt skips or breaks, the valves will not come into contact at any point with the pistons (there are 4 cut-aways in the piston heads to prevent any contact with the valves)
Depends on the weight and streamlining of the rocket. i regularly get a B6 up to an estimated 1,500 feet.
