KLZE Tune up

Post by MX3 GSR 4 dummies »

Well, I have been forced to remove my engine from one MX to another so I figured I better do the timing belt and waterpump. This is where I hit the question.......

Does anyone know which timing belt I should use and how to order it ( which car to I should be refering to when ordering) ?

I have used the ITM timing belt and bearings off eBay, no problems so far. seemed like a good quality belt.

However, there are alot of anal ppl here and will say GET THE MAZDA BRANDED one.. Either way, non interference motor ftw so you cant be to worried.

Thanks bro, you confirmed what I was thinking. I didn't want to just jump at the north american 2.5L parts but seems I can now!

One side note, make sure you have the right waterpump, there are two sizes. The middle of pulley on the WP has a round metal peice, there is a 16mm and a 22mm IIRC, measure yours and make sure you have the right one so that your pulley will work

Also, I would highly recommend changing out the TB tensioner for a new one, they are abit pricey but will save u a hassle in the long run!
