I'm into my friends 98 mazda protege es 1.8l doing the water pump and timing belt. I'm running into 2 issues that are beating me up. I know I shouldn't be doing this without a shop but my friend is in desperation and I am good with engines. Problem #1 I hit was with the crankshaft sleeve, I can't get the retaining bolt loose. Problem #2 is I can't find timing marks on the head for the camshaft and there's multiple marks on the gear. If you can help with either of these problems I'd greatly appreciate it. Just putting it out there.

If that’s not feasible for you; you could remove the starter motor to gain access to the flywheel gear and then use some form of bar to jam the ring gear to the transmission case. There’s a more hap hazard way that I seen people use and that would be a long breaker bar & socket placed on the crank bolt and positioned in a way that engaging the starter motor will loosen the bolt. I don’t suggest this; no doubt can you imagine the things that could go wrong doing this that way? Here’s a diagram for the timing marks. Dan.

I should've never taken this job on without access to my tools and with the car sitting in a driveway. I'm definitely gonna try to lock up the flywheel. I did make one mistake though and that's in not telling you that it was a single overhead cam. If you have a picture on those timing marks that would be the icing on the cake. Once again thank you. You're being a great help to me.

Looking through the manuals that I have and they don’t list a signal cam 1.8 in 1998? They do list a 1.5Lt and this is the alignment marks for that engine. Anyone elsse here have a 1.8 SOHC diagram?

About the only thing I could find was a 94 1.8 sohc. So either the year is way off or this was someone's project car. My darn data base is acting up again so I can't load it right now but if I'll try to get it going later....   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
