Our ole buddy Jason of 1137 customs blew a head gasket, so while Josh and I fixed that, we took time to take the cylinder head all apart and cleaned it, made a few modifications, replaced the hydraulic lifters and got him back on the road. Be sure and check video description for things we used in the video as well as merch and other useful information.
This is very helpful, thanks! I have several of these 2200s with various problems, so I'm trying to build one perfect one with a collection of spare parts.
I love these B series Mazda pickups. Hell mini trucks in general. My unicorn truck is a VW Rabbit, I NEED it. I want to put a Honda k20a in one more than anything. Yalls trick with the valve stem seals is a stroke of genius.
Wow! Very good call about that Allen-head-bolt (at timecode 30:30). I will definitely do that as well on my 1999 E2000 and save myself meddling with the timing belt in the future. Thanks.
Just arrived at the point, where you torque-fit the bolt of the cam-shaft pulley...: I quickly made a special tool myself: I welded 2 short studs (I cut them off a reo-bar) onto a breaker-bar (crow bar). Distance: 4.4cm. Hence, I had a long breaker bar and a long torque wrench that way I could open and then close the bolt...
I used a 2.0 cylinder head on my 2.2 on the 2.2 I discovered the intake valve was shrouded quite a bit. The 2.0 had a better shaped combustion chamber where the intake valve wasn't shrouded as much. When I cc'd the combustion the 2.2 head measured in at 50cc and the 2.0 cylinder head measured in at 52cc. I had the 2.0 head shaved 100 thousands and it brought the combustion chamber volume down to 47cc. Then I did a pocket Port job on the intake and exhaust ports because I didn't want to kill any of the velocity I used the 2.0 mechanical valve train I have a speed daddy header with a 2.25 inch MagnaFlow exhaust a Weber 38/38 outlaw carburetor and 22° of ignition the low and mid-range power improved dramatically I can go up steep hills in 5th gear at 35 mph at 1500 RPM just barely touching the throttle. I bought the truck to fix it up I bought 18 inch American racing rims from tire rack installed 3-inch blocks in the rear to lower it with drop spindles in the front. The truck still drives like the factory truck just a little more nimble. But now I'm using it as a work truck I pull a 10ft trailer with it and I haul logs on it for my sawmill. I'm currently looking for a cheap work truck so I can get back to fixing the Mazda up again. The truck has been a amazing little truck I couldn't ask more from it for what it is.
@@MazdaMitch the factory 2.2 head I'm not sure the 2.0 head is a eBay head it came fully complete with a cam which the cam was junk that's a different story LOL the 2.2 head the combustion chamber looked very different I have all the photos of my work if there's a way I can send them to you through Facebook or email or something.
@@danieljohnson8020 If you're not in our Facebook group you should join it and post this information. The heads as far as I know have always been identical there's no difference. So my guess is the head from eBay was already shaved down a little bit as it's probably remanufactured.
Hey love your videos bro listen i wana ask you something what can i do ,to stop my mazda b2200 1990 for rattle i put a webber carburetor and stll dose it what can it be mitch
I'm sorry but it's not that simple. It could be a multitude of things. Are you talking about your valve train rattling You reckon it's the hydraulic lifters?
Question for ya - I've had one of my cam cap bolts (installing valve train to head) crack and I want to replace all of em. I've looked all over online for specific replacement bolts and turned up nothing. Is this something that a generic (correct grade) replacement would work for or do I need to find the actual bolts? Got any leads? Thanks
Hi there buddy your video was very informative, I'm from South Africa, please i need your help ...i have the b1800 F8 head at this very moment I'm struggling for some info ,head gasket blew so took head to engineer near me he replaced valve stem seals but when pressure tested head a little water came on top of head through one of the castings looking like welsh holes so he sealed it with a strong epoxy resin and said everything is okay but i don't have peace of mind..you notice those two castings on top of head underneath of cam shaft please let me know with any information wish i could forward u a picture of the head appreciate any help
I know what you are talking about. There is a plug under the valve train, into the head. I think it is there for casting or something, but water runs directly beneath it. 99% of the time they do not ever leak, but I have seen some do it. I would have your guy weld it up, alumaweld it.
@@MazdaMitch hi there buddy i really appreciate it the reply and help,i did suggest alu weld but he declined it say be dangerous also here guys not good at it so can i use JB weld high heat putty, have you hear of it and he did put something on it's solid but just thinking to seal casting from underneath by removing welsh plug to access it ,sorry for any trouble but I'm desperate appreciate your help
I have an 89 mazda b2200 and cannot get the valves to seal using this method . Im trying to figure ouy my best options , do i buy new valves and attempt to seat into my old head or buy a new head and swap over the old valvetrain and but new valves? My head i have has hydraulic valves
Option two sounds like the plan. Or you can take the head to a head shop if there is one near you and have them re grind the seats, but in the end that may cost as much or close to a new head would cost. If you get a new head and new valves you will want to either do this drill method we did or hand method with the wooden suction cup valve tool, to lap the new valves to the new head and test for leaks.
Help! I just put in a brand new head and broke a valve cover bolt somehow. I haven't been able to find one for sale. Does anyone know where I'd find one?
Man I wish I could get my truck to you bud !!! I can’t figure out this small amount of white smoke and trashy rev. I don’t wanna buy the Weber if my engine needs rebuilt …….

its so nice to see someone making videos on these old b series pickups
Thanks for watching and share it with your friends.

Right on! Can’t wait to see it run…
Stay tuned for next week!
That one damn bolt behind the cam gear turns hydraulic lifters into a 2 hour job instead of a 20 minute job
Thank for beautiful beautiful video thank 😊
Thank you so much for this video, I really loved it because of the way you explain the entire process in great detail. Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful!
This so far one of the best videos ever thankx Mitch
Thanks!
Excellent video - I am going to follow it to bebuild my Mazda cylinder head - thank you for making this.
Good luck!

It runs really good That's coming up in the next video next week

That's good stuff
Were Both heads untouched since new? I am wondering if the 2.2 had been off an had been shaved before.

I don't have any leads but you can take one of your bolts to any hardware store and try to match it up because there's not much torque on these bolts.
So u time camshaft first before rockerarms?
Yes

Hi there,I have a Ford courier 1,6 and I want to check my valves clearance.any idea what the specs are,I’ve tried finding on the web but no luck.
Google is failing as a search engine. Try duckduckgo
@@MazdaMitchthanks mate!!!
Do u have a video of the porting u did?
It's only in this one or the head gasket vid

Where do you set the cam for TDC
Its the number one on the cam gear.
where can i get the cam gear?
Facebook groups, google, junkyard.
Help! I just put in a brand new head and broke a valve cover bolt somehow. I haven't been able to find one for sale. Does anyone know where I'd find one?
Simply take one of your existing bolts to the hardware store and match it up. It's an M6 bolt I think.
My valve seals are STUCK
Man I wish I could get my truck to you bud !!! I can’t figure out this small amount of white smoke and trashy rev. I don’t wanna buy the Weber if my engine needs rebuilt …….

You're going to want the cam in the 12 o'clock position before putting the valve train on.
