What causes timing chain to jump on Mazda 2.3?

IIRC on the 2.3 there is no keyway to keep the crank gear and balancer aligned. If the engine is spinning and has compression you probably spun the balancer and it’s out of time. Set piston 1 at TDC and line the balancer up as indicated.

Is it worth it to replace timing chain?

If the chain broke the actual damage might be minimal. Depends on how expensive a new chain is, but it could be worth it to just replace the chain, re-align and see how the engine runs. Doing an (2nd hand) engine replacement will still be available as a last resort. (For a 155.000 km engine a rebuild just isn’t worth it.)

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.

How does a free running Mazda engine work?

A free-running engine is designed with enough clearance between the pistons and valves to allow the crankshaft to rotate (pistons still moving) while the camshaft stays in one position (several valves fully open). If this condition occurs normally, no internal engine damage will result.

What kind of engine does a 2005 Mazda MPV have?

The Mazda MPV is 2005 dx with a v6 engine and I think a 3.0 litre. Clicking this will make more experts see the question and we will remind you when it gets answered.
