Yep, need help on putting together the new engine
 
Well when i got my engine the pulley on the front of the motor with the red and yellow timing ticks wasnt installed. Does it have to be installed at a certain spot? How do i kno where the tick marks have to be when installing?

With the acentric shaft keyway in the 9 o'clockish position the tick marks should line up with the timing pin.

the yellow mark which is leading goes first.

BigJim 01-31-04 05:31 PM

mazdaverx713b 01-31-04 05:33 PM

mazdaverx713b 01-31-04 05:39 PM

are you keeping it fuel injected or going carb?

BigJim 01-31-04 05:43 PM

Fuel injected, for now. Maybe in a year or so ill go carbed, but as soon as i find a 2nd gen imma take its fuel AFM and then remove the air box and run a k & N cone filter in front of my radiator. Someday im hoping for carb thou

nice. i was needing some parts for the EGI system, thats why i had asked.

I have a aftermarket pulley tghat has about 6 marks on it and it is much lighter than the stock one.

Don't know which one I'm supposed to time it on and wether or not it is worth the trouble.

mazdaverx713b 01-31-04 08:15 PM

i hear the underdrive pullies are not worth the time. the put more draw to our already weak alternators.
