• Q: How to remove and install Timing Cover on 1986 Mazda B2000?

  A: To fit and install parts to suit different engine sizes, one has to start by etching identification marks on the hood hinges and detach the hood, then drain the cooling system being careful not to spill ethylene glycol antifreeze, which is also toxic to pets. Unscrew the upper and lower radiator hose, take out the radiator, accessory drive belts, crankshaft pulley, and water pump. Unscrew the cylinder head-to-front cover bolt, lift and lift the truck, and remove the engine skid plate. Unhook the emission line to the oil pan then drain the oil in the engine with care against long-term exposure to used oil. Clean out the oil pan, the alternator and the bracket, the steel tube in the front of the engine and unbolt the front cover. Wipe off all gasket mating surfaces and the crankshaft pulley. Installation requires contact cement to replace a new front cover gasket, front cover, air pump (where fitted), alternator and bracket, water pump with new gasket and connect hoses. Install the crankshaft pulley, alternator belts, water pump pulley, fan and the belt tension. Install radiator, air cleaner, oil pan, emissions line, replace skid plate on the lower part of the truck, lower the truck, empty the engine with oil and cooling system, then once more start the engine to determine any leakages, and lastly install the hood. In the case of the 2,209cc diesel engine, battery ground is to be disconnected, cooling system emptied, fan and shroud removed, drive belts, power steering pump, and water pump removed. Unscrew the crankshaft pulley bolt and timing gear cover and make sure to get rid of the gasket. The opposite of removal is installation, making sure that the gasket mating surfaces are clean and a new gasket is used with sealer. In the case of the 2.555cc engine, unhook the negative battery cable, take off the air cleaner assembly, belt of the drive, the alternator, and power steering pump. Empty the engine oil, lift the engine to expose the crankshaft pulley and the oil dipstick as well as the engine mount. Take out the valve cover, the front cylinder head bolts, the oil pan, timing indicator and timing chain case cover. Wipe cover and clean and then place a new gasket that comes with sealant, next is the oil pan and engine mounting plate. Install the valve cover, oil dipstick, air conditioner compressor, power steering pump, alternator and the accessory drive belts and fill the crankcase with oil, then reconnect the battery cable. With the 2,606cc, disconnection of battery ground, draining of cooling system, accessory drive belt removal, fan, shroud, water pump pulley, and water pump are to be removed. Take out the crankshaft pulley, oil pan and timing chain cover. Installation requires a new water inlet pipe gasket with adhesive sealer, oil pick-up tube gasket with a new gasket installed and torque bolts installed accordingly. Install oil pan, crankshaft pulley, water pump, water pump pulley, fan, shroud, accessory drive belts, fill the cooling system and reconnect the battery ground.
