  1. Quick timing question.

    Roll the motor over by hand a few times and check the marks.
  2. remove crankshaft pulley

    Put a breaker bar on it, wedge it against the body and hit the key!
  3. Ok so heck just broke lose I have no luck :(

    Crankwalk is excessive end play on the crank. One of the first symptoms of it is the clutch pedal sticking on the floor when it is released. The worst things that come from crankwalk is that the crank moves so far forward that it breaks the crank sensor off, the other one is that it binds the...
  4. Ok so heck just broke lose I have no luck :(

    Check for a hole in the back of the block by the starter. I'm betting you threw a rod out the back. It will cost a fortune to fix at a shop.
  5. Ok so heck just broke lose I have no luck :(

    This is more of what I am thinking. Check for hole in back of block.I don't think a headgasket is just going to blow and make your car shut off. Does it sound funny when trying to crank it?
  6. What is this sensor?

    This, it does not come stock.
  7. Help! Do I have crankwalk??

    You are going to loose all your tension when you pull the belt off. I would flip the plate then follow the timing belt instructions again making sure you set the tensioner right.
  8. Help! Do I have crankwalk??

    Mine is a 7 bolt too. You can flip it over and set the marks back up right. If you are that scared of bending the valves put a wrench on the front and turn the motor over a few times by hand before trying to crank it.
  9. Help! Do I have crankwalk??

    This.Flip the plate around and then make sure all your timing marks line back up.
  10. Help! Do I have crankwalk??

    You are not moving the belt any. There is no possible way to bend the valves by just flipping it around.
  11. Help! Do I have crankwalk??

    You can still put the trigger plate on backwards and the keyway will still line up. The car will crank, but run like shit and the throttle will not respond right. I know I have done it. I believe the lip bevels out away from the belt. Try turning the plate around if you are not 100% sure.
  12. Help! Do I have crankwalk??

    You have the crank sensor trigger plate on backwards!
  13. 400 miles after rebuild, and..

    They will break if you try to torque them to 120ft lbs
  14. Crankshaft problem.

    Why not just drop it out of the bottom of the car on a jack, it is much easier.
  15. new dsm surprise! n/help

    The only reason you would need a restrictor is if your balance shafts are removed and oil pressure is about 72psi
  16. 16G stock wategate too strong.. help

    Are you still running the stock 2g BOV?? They won't hold much more than 12psi.
  17. Best/Easiest way to remove old stuck on gaskets?

    Razor blade, scotch-brite wizz wheel
  18. can I use a turbo exhaust manifold on an n/a?

    No they are very different.
  19. 2G stretching ARP rod bolts

    Oh I see what happened there. You should have just started another thread to avoid confusion. Are they bolts or studs?Torque to 37ft/lbs when you get the rod fixed. Do you have all the other torque specs?I think they put the rod in the vise so it is easier for you to see their...
  20. 2G stretching ARP rod bolts

    Fail.I don't understand what you are trying to do with a vise? So do you have the rods in the block and are torquing them on the crank. I have mine to 37ft/lbs.Do you have Eagle Rods?
  21. Car wont start

    Do a compression test
  22. Spark Plug Wire Cap Pulsing

    I think he was being sarcastic a little bit. If you had a bad coil, plug, or wires it would throw a CEL. The electrical current pulses with the rotation of the motor it is not steady!
  23. How do you keep your Turbo looking good?

    I just keep the hood closed.
  24. Spark Plug Wire Cap Pulsing

    Then you don't have a problem. The plugs only fire when the cylinder is at TDC, well and the waste spark on our motors.
  25. Spark Plug Wire Cap Pulsing

    huh? Does it miss? CEL on?
  26. i am stumpped on am over heating issue please help

    Is it still going into the overflow? Check to make sure the neck of the radiator isn't warped and the cap is not sealing correctly. Get radiator pressure tester to check.
  27. Advice on purchase

    If its been rebuilt already with that many miles I wouldn't worry about it. To check though have someone crank it up and push the clutch in and out why you watch the harmonic balancer for any back and forth movement. Also make sure when you let off the clutch the pedal doesn't stick any that is...
  28. I have a few questions about my car.(Pics)

    +1 on removing the T. For the BOV just jbweld around it for now until you can get a new one. That 2g BOV is a POS and won't hold more than 12psi max.
  29. bent valves while cranking?

    Replace the belt and crank or do compression test to make sure before you go tearing the head off. Mine broke once and didn't bend the valves.
  30. Right front turn wont flash, need tips b4 shootout.

    Does it come on at all? Test light is a good start or quick fix, splice it to the left front.
  31. cant get 96 gst started

    I have a 96 gst that did the same thing. The back balance shaft started to lock up and caused it to rip 2 teeth off the timing belt.
  32. You're not going to believe this....help :'(

    Mine spun a bearing 2 days after I bought it also. Take your time doing a lot of research before you splurge on parts. You may have to have the block line honed if the crank has walked to much. Pay close attention to that. You will also need a new crank and the rods resized. Make sure you do a...
  33. Mazda B2200 engine question (non-dsm tech)

    Then it wouldn't have ran right from the beginning. We put almost 3000 miles on it before we started having problems.
  34. Mazda B2200 engine question (non-dsm tech)

    It will start with oil in the cylinders. So either the rings are worn down, or they are stuck all the way in the piston grooves. I think I am going to get it to start and dump some seafoam in it. If that doesn't bring the compression up, I will just pull the motor back out. It is not too hard to...
  35. Mazda B2200 engine question (non-dsm tech)

    Didn't burn oil, didn't leak oil, or smoke at all.
  36. Mazda B2200 engine question (non-dsm tech)

    Yes Yes and yes royal purple engine break in oil, changed after 300 miles.
  37. Mazda B2200 engine question (non-dsm tech)

    Wasn't run hard at all, had almost 3000 miles on rebuilt engine before this started happening. The only thing I suspect right now is machine shop didn't measure the ring end gap correctly. It never ran hot and the thermostat is new along with the water pump.
  38. Mazda B2200 engine question (non-dsm tech)

    This was after the fact that it stopped running and it was only a splash just to see if it would try to start.
  39. Mazda B2200 engine question (non-dsm tech)

    This is not DSM related but would like some opinions. Me and my dad are arguing over a problem we have and would like a third party for clarification.The car in question is a 1991 Mazda B2200. When the car was first bought it white smoked like a fog machine so my dad pulled the motor and...
  40. update hole in block

    It sounds to me that you didn't put the circlips in the pistons if they were full float, or they were improperly pressed on.
  41. blew hole out of my block

    Were those stock rods? What pistons? Did you have the pistons pressed on or are were they full float?
  42. Motor Won't Start After Re-Build

    Turn the crank sensor around the right way.
  43. Potential purchase advise...

    I would be worried someone rolled a set of bearings in it because it was knocking and is now trying to sell it. Give it hell on the test drive.
  44. Fire Extuingishers Save DSM Lives

    Seen on craigslist today
  45. Balance Shaft Bearing help

    How many miles do you have on it. I rebuilt mine at 178000 and the rear BS bearing was about to fall out of the block just like this. Do you have the motor out? I don't think you can get the front BS out without dropping the motor down a little, and then you have to offset the bearings for that one.
  46. 2g 7 bolts torque specs

    rods 45-48ftlbs mains 55-65ftlbsIf you have arp studs, i believe the specs come with them or you can look them up on their website.Also make sure you eliminate the balance shafts while you're in there.
  47. What n the dsm is the problem

    I guess until it leaves you on the side of the road. Pull the intake hose going into the TB off and see if it is full of oil, then you know it's the turbo.
  48. Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Make sure your cooling fan is coming on, and not just the a/c fan when you turn on your a/c.
  49. Oil pressure help

    I don't know if I would drive it until I found out if it really was low oil pressure. Maybe connect a manual gauge to the oil filter housing to check or run thicker oil. You may have a bigger problem on your hands than just the gauge.
