I just made the stupid mistake of trying to adjust the valves in time and
then end up just taking off the belt while the engine was out of time. Can
I put the new belt on and then line up the marks or am I hosed?? Any help
would be appreciated.
why does all the videos about changing timing belt, skip right over how to
properly tension the belt? that is one of the most crucial part of the
whole change out
Wow this is a lot more work than shown in the video, easy for a mechanic
with proper tools. My 626 needs this but it’s so expensive, I’m just going
to drive it till it snaps. Doesn’t make sense to spend 50% car’s value on
maintenance or repairs. Looks like too much for me unless I had a friend
who could help.

I watched your video and it was a help on my protege, but you should of
explained htat you need a tool that holdds the cam sprockets in place.I
struggled keeping it in time since there was nothing holding the cams in
place and they wanted to go over TDC when putting the belt on.Can’t believe
you guys did this job without a tool or wedge to hold the cams.It’s not as
weasy as it looks.you don’t show how to set the timing to the right spot
either.
I have searched and searched online for an answer as to where the cam
sprockets line up at TDC. Nothing.. Then I found your video. THANK YOU SO
MUCH!! You potentially saved the life of my one and only vehicle. Without
this video I was on the path of being WAY out. The Haynes book says the two
circles need to face each other at TDC. Wrong!! Again, I can’t thank you
enough for this video!!
wow someone paid out the ass for this man to do all this work! unless it
was hit…id be lookin for a good runnin cheap motor or junk it….i see
$500 in labor alone…good job though
Do you have any video’s on how to take off the EGR valve and clean it, I
took something off that was connected to the throttle body and cleaned it
the other day but I’m still getting a PO400 code. I can’t afford another
valve.
i did a 97 mazda protege is almost same way u did but the crankshaft line
up to the point andcam shaft line up straigth each other but that one i did
was the left cam the letter “I” straight up and the letter E facin 8 oclock
and the right side E facin up and I facin 5 oclock but the line on that u
said to straight line each other but the protege is lil off but got it
start it that way and runs good but i really dont understand why the 97
protege cant be line up like this video..

i install a cilinder head on my mazda 626 1999 2.0 and i align the marks
like on the video but the car wont start is fuel ,spark,compresion but the
car wont start.the reason i changue the cilinder head was because i over
heat the engine.has a new head now.
Rember a belt has only got so many teeth so just mark the tooth and where
it fits on each pulley, if it has not jumped time. and you can refit the
new belt and every thing will be correct its a quick way to change a belt
Depending on what quality parts you want the cost varies.I just did my 03′
protege like this engine and it cost me over $400 for parts.I used a Gates
Kit from NAPA and a new(not rebuilt) water pump.Also, ended up buying new
plastic tming cover set made by Dorman for $80..from NAPA.Seems the palstic
gets brittle around the bolt holes and breaks.Junk yard had acouple, but
they were broke also.Not a terrible job, but time consuming for a first
timer like me.

@shahram72 If you learn it yourself like the video is intending, then it
costs about $150 in parts.

if you have a slack belt then take out the plugs. stops compression damage
to valve.
