Mazda MX-6 Timing Belt
The Mazda MX-6 Timing Belt ensures that the camshaft and crankshaft are moving in perfect harmony, allowing the valves to open and close at the precise time that the pistons occupy their critical positions and, as a result, provide the engine with smooth power and fuel efficiency. Within each Mazda overhead-cam powerplant, the belt runs on toothed pulleys, a tensioner spring, and one or more idler wheels in a simple loop that does not require any lubrication, runs quietly, and is cheaper to manufacture than metal chains or gears. New Mazda engines also enjoy smooth curved teeth that reduce noise and wear. The first generation of this model required attention at about 30,000 miles, although new rubber compounds and fiber reinforcement have prolonged the time to about 60,000 miles or more as indicated in the owner's handbook. Using that schedule is dangerous since a broken Timing Belt will immediately shut down the engine, and in some models of interference design, a Timing Belt can allow the pistons to hit the open valves and leave the cylinder head in ruins. Partial wear is important, as any tooth that is not engaged by the belt or a sluggish tensioner can result in the belt skipping a tooth and causing misaligned ignition timing, resulting in hard starts and ragged running. Whenever the belt is changed, prudent owners replace the automatic tensioner and idlers, and since the belt, in most models, also drives the water pump, replacing that pump simultaneously will avoid the repetition of the work. This cheap little component is critical to Mazda performance and reliability and hence the Timing Belt should be considered compulsory, regular insurance by all MX-6 enthusiasts.

Mazda MX-6 Timing Belt Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to remove and install the timing belt front cover on Mazda MX-6?A:To take off the timing belt front cover first, makes sure that the spark plugs have been removed and then with a wrench, loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt until the timing mark in the crankshaft pulley lines up with the 0 degree BTDC mark on the indicator scale and the camshaft sprocket A mark lines up with the mark on the front housing. Then, extract the bolts and loosen the crankshaft pulley out of the timing belt sprocket with only one concern that the pulley cannot be completely removed out of the vehicle and has to be moved off of the sprocket. Notate the rotation direction with an arrow mark in the timing belt and then loosen the tension in case of reuse of the belt. Unscrew the tensioner lock bolt of the timing belt, loosen the belt on the sprockets and take it out of the engine. Examine the belt in case it is torn, peeling or worn, cracked, hardened, crimped or even in case it has oil or moisture and replace the belt in case any of the above conditions are present or in case of expiration of the required milage. To install, make sure the crankshaft and camshaft sprocket timing marks align and press on the tensioner to exert maximum pressure having the spring fitted and locking the lock bolt to keep the tensioner in position. Install the belt on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockers on the tension side and make sure that the arrow is in the correct direction in case of installing the old belt back on. To do this, loosen the tensioner lock bolt to allow only the spring to create tension, rotate the crankshaft twice to the right to create the same amount of tension on both sides of the timing belt and tighten the lock bolt again. Test the timing marks to be correctly aligned and test the deflection of the belt half way between the camshaft and crankshaft sprockers on the tension side to confirm that it is within specification and repeat the adjustment as needed. Lastly, place the timing belt cover.
