| Not Ranked : 0 score Per PM MS3-oholic: LF01-11-406 Is Crank Bolt: Yes Please buy a new one and torque in two increments. L321-12-428 Is Cam Bolt: They have changed from a bolt and separate washer to a bolt with a flange, the size of the head is different as well. No big deal. Just observations through the revisions. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I have a question. Would a less than perfect chain tension have an effect on power? This is me 07 vs a 2010. In text I'm run no.1. We make the same power, but I make 22 more lb/ft. This would almost make me believe I have a healthy stock motor, but, if the chain tension does not have any barring on output, I may still need to do it. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score i don't think the chain will affect any performance as long as the timing doesn't jump. If you have slack just change it. You wouldn't want it to jump timing and have your valves smash into your pistons.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Ok, I've got 86k on the motor and just started hearing the vvt at startup. After looking at this thread, decided to start the tear down. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but I can't seem to get the crank bolt off. I have two different impact guns and nothing. I resorted to blows from hammer on torque wrench. Still nothing. Any ideas? Just don't want to do anymore damage. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Looks as though I'll be ordering my new parts by the end of next week. Really wish I was using that money for mods, but there's no way I'm gonna risk this engine getting mods before I know it's healthy. Next I need to track down my oil consumption problem... Reeeeeally hoping it's not ring seals.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Well you can test your compression while your doing this job. I was in between 180-200 cold. So I take it my oil consumption is all secondary to the turbo seals. |

That part # should be put on the list considering the one in there now is for a crank bolt, which we need too.

| Not Ranked : 0 score I was just quoted over 10 hours labour from Mazda at over 100 bucks an hour, plus parts. For those who have done this, how long does it actually take, and how much harder is it to do with the engine in the car? I'm really apprehensive about trying this myself, but I almost have no choice.

| Not Ranked : 0 score I would be extremely cautions on DIY if you are concerned. Get help, even go to a non-Dealer shop. I have 2-2007's, a CX-7 and MS3. Both 2006 build, very early. I would love to replace the chains as preventive, but not for the $1100-1400 price tag. If I run into a problem, I will be indeed getting a shop to do it. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I'm just worried a non Mazda shop won't undersand the timing procedures and just mark off the crank and cams and slap the chain on.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Don't go to the ghetto. Go a decent shop. Research through BBB, and check em out. Good techs will know the right way. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I'm a machinist by trade working as a programmer in the aerospace sector. I'm mechanical, but by no means a mechanic. Did you pull the whole motor or just the passenger side mount, wheel and fender liner? Also, all the a/c hard lines run right over where I need to work it looks like. What did you do about those?
