Rebuild timing?

I have a halfbridge that is out of the car right now. Is there a speacial way to install the pully. Just wandering because of the timeing sensors there?

The pulley is "keyed" in that the 4 10mm bolts that hold it to the hub are slightly offset. There's only one way it will go on.

Thankfully, Mazda made timing on the 13B-REW foolproof, unlike the FC's stupid CAS.

^ yeah a lot of mid 80s to early 90s cars had crank angle sensors that were meant to be interchangeable with distributors. Thus they required adjustment. Mitsubishi engines of the time are another example (early DSM 4G63 and 3000GT 6G72).

What about the peace behind the pulley that the crank angle sensors use. Thanks

Just wanting to make sure there's nothing I need to know about that area and timing or what I would need to do before I start the engine. Thanks

Again, there's no way you can mess it up. Mazda designed it so everything only plugs in the right way.

Only weird one is the 2 electrical plugs for the two crank angle sensors, they can be plugged in backwards. But the CAS's themselves and the pulleys will only go on the right way.
