how to properly determine the main bearing bore diameter on 1993-2002 Ford 2.5L VIN B and KL engines. This engine is made by Mazda and used in the Probe and 626 car models. It appears some previously published information may have been inaccurate. Many service specifications have listed a housing bore diameter .002˝ smaller than it should be.

This big bore kit requires professional installation. It is up to you to determine if you have the skills necessary to install this kit. If you are not confident in your abilities, please contact a professional mechanic. This kit installs exactly like the OEM Honda components with the exceptions noted here. You should refer to the OEM Honda Service Manual for any questions regarding disassembly or reassembly of your motorcycle engine. Because BBR Motorsports, Inc. cannot control the assembly of this engine kit, no guarantees are made as to performance, reliability, or usability. It is entirely up to the individual doing the installation to determine the fitness of this product and its usability. All liabilities are the responsibility of this individual (both consequential and incidental). We recommend using high quality motorcycle oil and changing it often.

Camshaft timing belt must be replaced if cylinder head is to be removed or if drive gears, tensioner or coolant pump are to be replaced. Camshaft timing belts must be stored and handled with care. Always store a camshaft timing belt on its edge with a bend radius greater than 2.0″ (50 mm). DO NOT use a camshaft timing belt that has been twisted or bent double, as this will damage reinforcing fibers. DO NOT use a camshaft timing belt if debris other than belt dust is found in timing belt covers. DO NOT use a camshaft timing belt if partial engine seizure has occurred. DO NOT reuse a camshaft timing belt if mileage exceeds 45,000 miles. DO NOT use an oil or coolant contaminated timing belt (cause of contamination must be rectified).

If like me, you forgot to change the timing belt at the last service and it went “ping” while driving to the shops, you may wish to invest in new engine, or at the very least a few new valves, rockers and possibly the cylinder head… If you are sensible and know that it needs changing, then this little guide is for you. Applies to the 1.4 and 1.6 CVH or PTE engine, but can be applied generally to other models too. Pictures and references to Haynes are made in square brackets where appropriate!

VS131 Setting/Locking Tool Kit includes the Camshaft Setting Tool to ‘lock’ the camshaft in its correct timing position, a Crankshaft Locking Pin and Injection Pump Locking Pin. Additionally the kit includes the essential Timing Adjustment Assembly required to adjust and fix pump timing/cam sprocket position during the engine timing procedure. The correct engine ‘timing’ position will need to be re-established whenever service work requiring cylinder head removal, camshaft/valve train adjustment, or major engine repair has been carried out.

Incorrect or out of phase engine timing can result in damage to the valves. The Tool Connection cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by using these tools in anyway.
Instruction for 1.3 Litre chain driven engine

• Install the crankshaft Locking Pin C in the bell housing hole.
• Install the tensioner Locking Pin B before carrying out engine repairs.

AS4660 Engine/Setting Locking toot Kit provides the special service tools required for timing belt replacement/engine timing applications on a range of U.S. domestic and import vehicles. Whereas some applications may just require the use oi a special tensioner tool to carry out the vital adjustment which ensures correct belt tension, others may additionally call for tools which lset and lock” the camshaft and crankshaft in timing position during belt changes. Full details are provided on the application coverage and usage of each tool in the kit. as well as a guide to certain procedures relevant to the application. However it is essential that the engine manufacturer’s service information or a credible proprietary manual is referred to when carrying out work on these applications.

1. All Tru-Time Cam Gears for Mitsubishi have provisions for the cam angle sensor that is mounted behind the intake cam gear on the 1995 to 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The models starting with the 1997 model year have the cam angle sensor mounted at the rear of the cylinder head.
2. The procedure to change the gears is identical to the timing belt replacement procedure outlined in the factory service manual.
3. Obtain a suitable box or container to hold the hardware that will be removed from the engine during this installation. This will aid in the prevention of lost nuts and bolts.
4. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting these procedures.
5. Removal of cam cover

This month’s column is the short version of an article I wrote for Miata Magazine about a Mazda Miata cylinder head and intake manifold project we were contracted for by Bill Cardell of “Flyin Miata”. Flyin Miata is a Miata high performance specialty house located in Grand Junction, Colorado. The full text version, pictures and dyno charts of this article are in the magazine version out this month. The cylinder head and intake manifold was from a Miata 1.6-liter engine that had undergone a bit of Bill’s turbo add-on magic. The subject in question is a streetcar and would be a daily driver. We would remain conservative here; this is not an all out race engine or car. Still, we could and would help make it stronger.
