What should I do about my Mazda 2 engine?
Depending on your ambient temperature, try a synthetic 5W30 and see if it makes any difference. The Mazda 2 engine has a bucket and shim for valve clearance, its not hydraulic lifters. Maybe the clearance on one of the valves is out of spec, best to take it to a mechanic to get it checked out. BuuBox writes… How loud is it?
What kind of engine does a Mazda 3 have?
I have a 2007 Mazda 3 2.3L with about 155k km on it. I was attempting to replace the AC pulley bearing, and had to manually turn the crank pulley to get the belt back on the AC pulley. After making sure the AC pulley was tightened, I started the engine to see if the AC worked.
Why does my Mazda 2 make a tapping sound?
The engine oil flush additive sounds like it’s worth trying because it is not an old car, so engine oil seals which are caked with grunge which keep them sealed should not be an issue here (this was the explanation given by the mechanic for why not to use, but this should not apply to this car).
Why is my timing chain jammed on my Mazda 2.3?
The fact that you were able to turn the engine over for a while quickly without it jamming may suggest that the chain snapped. The valve gear may be in a safe position and it could possibly just be the chain that is now jammed. IIRC on the 2.3 there is no keyway to keep the crank gear and balancer aligned.
Why did my Mazda 3 engine mount fail?
Still, you think Mazda should cover it. Premature wear of the engine mounts CAN occur if someone drives the car very hard. Mazda may even think that the busted engine caused the engine mount failure, not the other way around.
What was the problem with the Mazda 3 in 2006?
Mazda was supposed to have fixed the problem, as 2006 owners were having the engine literally smacking the engine compartment. I really don’t have too much else to say- simply put, if you have a manual car- install urethane mounts. How old are you btw?
What should I do about my Mazda 3?
1- swap out the mounts for urethane units- there are several available. 2- install an engine torque damper – this should limit engine movement and prolong the life of the mounts. I am very surprised at the treatment from Mazda in general. I have dealt with Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet and Jeep for years and was never treated with such disregard.
