Well depending on the cam gear your truck may have a (A,B,C ) and not (1,2,3).On the cam gear or sprocket you want the arrow stamped in the metal behind it lined up with A! That is number 1.Now with the crankshaft you will want that lower gear pulley with the notch like a U to line up with the arrow stamped into the metal behind that gear.It is really easy to see and the ARROW looks like a V really.Sometimes this may be off a 1/8 inch but within the range cam(topside) or the crankshaft U indention.Hope this is clear enough and take your time,It took me several times to achieve this because the belt being off one tooth on my tries.
What you meant to ask is how often should the timing belt be replaced! And the answer is every 90,000 miles for b2000 model.Ok
the timing marks for that year Mazda are on the crank pulley and corresponding marks are on the timing belt cover.
All mazda b series with a b2000 or b2200 are a NON interference engine.So in short if your timing belt broke it will not damage the engine.
the factory setting is 6deg btdc, but mine seams to run better at about 7-8 deg btdc
mazda b2000
The engine oil capacity for a 1986 Mazda B2000 is 4.1 quarts.
It is behind the timing case cover behind the crankshaft pulley.You have to remove the timing belt to replace the water pump for this repair.
antifreeze in the oil should be a milkshake color
I believe the carburetor is a Mikuni. I have a 1986 B2000 myself.
#1 is front cylinder, distributor rotates clockwise, firing order is 1342, timing is 6 btdc
Yes, a Mazda B2000 is most definitely a 4-cylinder with a 2.0L engine. However, technically Mazda didn't produce the B2000 as a 1988 model. It was made in 1986-1987. Then in 1989 Mazda made the B2200 Pickup, which is a 2.2L 4 cylinder.
It should have an electronic distributor. So no points to adjust. 0.18
