Convert a Timing Region on a Mazda Millennia
The 1995 nailed down 2000 Mazda Millennia has a 2.5L, V6 engine, which is a freewheeling depiction. With this engine type, provided the timing band stretches former its pleasant breath (where the tensioner Testament no longer exercise tension considering the band is very enduring), the valves Testament most credible not hit the pistons and Testament not reason engine damage. Mazda recommends changing the timing zone every 60,000 miles. It takes approximately four hours to replace the Millennia's timing cestuses.
Instructions
1. Disconnect the anti battery cable and fix it aside, ensuring that it does not touch metal. Stand the front of the Millennia with a floor jack and agency it on jack stands. Remove the fair front spin using a lug wrench. Remove the equitable splash guard using the belonging sockets.
2. Loosen the ornament operate zone tensioners and push them absent from the belts. Lift the belts off the pulleys. Remove the H2O pump pulley, ornament girdle loafer pulley and its bracket and the influence steering pump, using the fit sockets and wrenches. Ok the gift steering pump lines attached to the pump. Shift the pump absent of the pathway instead of bewitching it elsewhere of the engine compartment.
3. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt using the receive socket then pull the pulley off the crankshaft snout. The crankshaft position sensor rotor is on the back of the pulley so be firm to remove it carefully to avoid poor the rotor.
4. Grind the oil dipstick tube back and forth and pull it absent of the engine. Remove the crankshaft position sensor by unbolting it and unplugging its wiring harness plug. Remove the timing girdle covers using the select sockets.
5. Push the floor jack under the oil pan and jack it up Sufficiently so that it touches the backside of the oil pan to help the engine. Install the pulley and tighten the bolt to 30 foot-pounds of torque. Probation both docent pulleys the corresponding idea. Install G2, tightening its bolt to 32 foot-pounds of torque.9.
Turn the crankshaft via the crankshaft pulley bolt until the timing marks are lined up. The timing purpose is a fleck on the sprocket, which lines up with a pointer at the 11:30 position. The left camshaft (as you are looking down at the engine) timing point is a speck above the dispatch "R" on the sprocket. It lines up with the pointer at the 9 o'Watch position. The fair camshaft timing objective is two hash marks on the sprocket, above the dispatch "L" on the sprocket. It lines up with the pointer at the 10 o'Watch position. Whether the crankshaft timing stop lines up nevertheless the camshaft marks act not, turn the crankshaft once extended for all three marks to border up.
7. Remove the auto tensioner retaining bolts and the Car tensioner. Remove the bolt for the drive pulley located between the two camshafts (G1) using the hire socket. Remove the tensioner pulley bolt and tensioner, and the escort pulley bolt and pulley that is located between the condign camshaft and the crankshaft (G2).
8. Trial the tensioner pulley to establish that it is working properly by spinning it by fist. Whether it grinds, squeaks or seems To possess some resistence, alternate it. Remove the correct engine mount using the accept socket.6. Install the crankshaft pulley bolt temporarily.
Evaluation the auto tensioner for oil leakage. If you see leakage, replace the auto tensioner. Measure the push rod. The Millennia comes with three types, depending on the year and model. If you are working on a 1996 Millennia or older, the push rod should measure between 0.56 and 0.62 inches. If you are working on a 1997 or newer year, and the auto tensioner is Type A, the push rod should measure between 0.473 and 0.511 inches. The Type B push rod should measure between 0.563 and 0.594 inches. Install the guide pulley (G1). Tighten the guide pulley bolt to 32 foot-pounds of torque.12. Push the bottom of the auto tensioner away from the belt, forcing the top closer to the belt.
Press the push rod in until the hole in the push rod lines up with the hole in the auto tensioner body. Insert an Allen wrench into the holes to hold the push rod in. Install the auto tensioner. Tighten the retaining bolts lightly, just to hold it in place. Check that all three timing marks are still lined up.
11. Install the timing belt, starting with the crankshaft sprocket. Route it over the G2 guide pulley and over the top of the right camshaft, keeping the belt tight between the crankshaft and the camshaft. While holding tension with one hand, grab the timing belt on the other side of the crankshaft pulley and route it behind the tensioner and over the left camshaft sprocket. Press the belt firmly between the two camshaft sprockets. If the measurement is incorrect, replace the auto tensioner.10. Place the auto tensioner in a press.
Tighten the auto tensioner retaining bolts to 15 foot-pounds of torque. Remove the Allen wrench. Allow the tensioner to put tension on the belt.
13. Turn the crankshaft clockwise two turns--slowly--until the timing marks line up again. Apply a 22-pound load to the timing belt halfway between the tensioner pulley and the crankshaft sprocket. If the belt does not deflect between 0.24 and 0.31 inches, replace the auto tensioner.
14. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt. Install remainder of the parts in reverse order of removal. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt to 119 foot-pounds of torque.
