How to set a piston on a Mazda?
Set piston 1 at TDC and line the balancer up as indicated. I think this is an M6x1.0 bolt. This should be 20 teeth off the blank space on the balancer. Here’s an example using a scope, this came in after a head gasket replacement and you can see the balancer is slightly off.
What happens if the chain jumps on a Mazda?

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.

Where does the Pin go on a Mazda?
The pin goes in a slot on the left side of the engine and locks the crank shaft at TDC. Note that on these engines the crank bolt holds the balancer with a diamond washer and needs to be replaced if removed. Either way compression check the engine.
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.
