The schedule is complicated, and in case of errors, serious damage can be done to the engine; hence, only highly experienced people can perform this process, and it is recommended to seek the advice of the expert in case of any doubts. The first step is to unplug the negative battery cable and block the rear wheels when placing the parking brake. In SOHC models, disconnect the under cover splash shield, power steering and air conditioner drivebelt, where fitted, and alternator drivebelt, spark plugs, water pump pulley bolts, crankshaft pulley bolts, crankshaft pulley. Unscrew the crankshaft sprocker center bolt, timing belt guide and timing belt covers and position the crankshaft and camshaft sprocker marks aligned and loosen the timing belt tensioner before removing and uncoring the timing belt. Should there be need to do so, withdraw the camshaft sprocket(s) to insert the seal(s) and avoid the rotation of the camshaft. In the case of DOHC engine, take off engine under cover shield, power steering and /or air conditioning drivebelt, alternator drivebelt, water pump pulley bolts, spark plugs, oil dipstick, crankshaft pulley plate bolts. You will need to remove timing belt covers, center bolt on the crankshaft sprocker, and the timing belt guide then line up the crankshaft and camshaft sprocker marks and loosen the timing belt tensioner then take off the timing belt. Check the idler pulleys and examine their smooth movement, any excessive movement and debris that may have contaminated the timing belt. When the timing belt exhibits wear or any other damages, it should be replaced with a new one, though such problems, which led to the old belt failure, should be repaired. When installing, wipe down the timing belt area, and place the idler pulleys and tensioner in place and that the sprocket marks are aligned correctly. Install the timing belt over the sprockers, place tension and ensure alignment after turning the crankshaft. Lastly, after removing all the parts, place them back in their correct sequence and make sure that the engine is functioning rightly and that the timing belt has been properly installed so as to prevent any severe engine damage.

Mazda Cam Gear

Mazda Cam Gear optimizes the valve timing so all the engines in the lineup are breathing at the right time, providing quick throttle and good fuel efficiency. Mazda began assembling cars in 1931 and has become well known for the fun dynamics, from the rotary pioneers of the 1960s to today's Skyactiv powertrains that get more miles from every gallon while keeping the drive fun. Mazda presents its Kodo Soul of Motion styling that makes cars appear ready to leap forward even in a parked position, and i-Activsense features like lane-keep assist and radar cruise bring confidence on daily journeys. The brand also experiments with electric drive, mild hybrids, and i-Activ AWD, proving that Mazda doesn't like to compromise on the excitement for responsibility's sake. Equally forward looking, the Cam Gear is situated on the camshaft of each modern engine and advances or retards the valve events slightly in time with the crankshaft rotation so that combustion remains smooth whether the car is idling, cruising, or climbing a hill. Because this component works mechanically in milliseconds, drivers feel linear power rather than hesitation. Crafted from durable materials with refined tolerances, the Cam Gear plays a part in reduced emissions, idle stability, and longer engine life throughout the entire lineup. In short, Mazda offers style and innovation, and the precise Cam Gear makes sure that those qualities translate directly into everyday performance.

You'll get great performance and real durability when you pick genuine OEM Cam Gear. Mazda builds these using high-quality materials and official factory methods to ensure they hold up mile after mile. You deserve that Mazda reliability without the headache of cheap knockoffs. It is easy to find exactly what you need in our huge inventory of genuine parts. Plus, every OEM part carries a real manufacturer's warranty for your peace of mind. You will love our low prices too. Order today and we will ship your brand-new parts fast. They often reach your door in just a few days.
