Thank you for doing such and excellent job. I just put on a new head on my truck and am making sure all the valves are correct.. Been so long since I had to do this I forgot how. .. Your instruction is just what I needed..... superb !
Thanks buddy my truck was starting to have a little bit of misfires here and there and narrowed it down to valves that were really loose. The put some new Denzo plugs in it and wires cap and button truck runs great.
Gracias por los consejos y recomendaciones, a mí Mazda le cambiaron el empaque de la cabeza y quedó sonando muy feo, y con este ajuste quedó super, gracias 👏👍
Excelente video ! Tengo una b2000 1979 con el 2.0 el manual también me dice que va a .012 Valve side tanto para intake como para Exhaust , puedo ajustarlos también a .010 ?
Yes very good. Second method is definitely better and was the method I learned years ago. So by the sound of it, the second method is the old school method.
I have mine set at .003 because some video on youtube said to. Everything is new. Rebuilt engine and even a new cylinder head. It has a serious loss of power trying to go up a hill. I'm thinking I need to follow what you did here. It does feel like I have a loss of compression. I thought the clutch was slipping so I replaced the clutch, flywheel, slave and master. The only two things I can think of is the valve lash or an adjustment on the weber but it seems to do great going down a hill.
There is a company called Delta Cams that will take your cam and regrind it and they can change it up some. Some guys in our facebook group and in other groups on facebook, have mentioned they did this and saw minimal to zero gains in performance.
I installed a reman head from O'Reilly's on my B2000 2.0L. The valve rocker assembly hardware was suddenly slightly too long for this new head. The holes weren't bored as deep as the factory head I was replacing? (No gunk or debris in the holes) Have you seen this before? I ended up grinding about one millimeter off of the length of the bolts I had and it fixed the issue. Is this a year to year replacement quirk? A B2200 to B2000 difference? I have found nothing to explain this problem I ran into. Good info on the lash adjustment on this engine, saved to my playlist. I'm still breathing life into my 87 Mazda B2000.
Thanks for the video, I think somethings strange on my 86 b2000. There's 2 line marks on the balancer with white paint on the right one (if your facing the fire wall) my manuel says tdc is the yellow mark on left. But yours is on the right? Am I missing something here? Thanks.
It shouldn't have been too loose. Are you using the correct cam? Need to use the 2.0 cam with the mechanical valve train. If using the 2.2 you'll never get the noise out. You end up wiping the cam
I may not be understanding your question, but I think you asked it backwards, let me explain the simplest way I know how. There is nothing wrong with hydraulics lifters. Some owners neglect oil changes and the burnt particles of oil stop up the lifters and they can tap. You can replace them and they are fine. Some owners want to revert to the 2.0 style with mechanical adjustable lifters. You have to adjust every 15,000 miles according the book. This way there is no tap if you adjust them properly. When using the mechanical lifter setup, you MUST use the 2.0 cam. If you use the 2.2 cam with the mechanical lifter setup, you will never get the tapping sound out of the valve train. I can speak from experience on this when I did it not believing what others have already done. I thought it can't be, it must be them, but it's true, you will never get all the noise out. Hope that clears it up.
@@MazdaMitch thank you. This is my first Mazda truck. I changed the lifters once and it stopped ticking for a very short time. I used the same melling lash adjusters that you featured in your priming video but mine were not primed and at the time I didn’t know they needed to be so I have another set to try it again. I should’ve sought you out before I suppose. Thanks again.
are you able to adjust the valve lash the same way without the timing belt installed, as long as you are rotating the camshaft in the same way? I have a brand new head installed but I am waiting on parts to be able to install the timing belt. Thank you in advance.
Did you replace the head gasket? Did you use the correct one for the block? The 2.0 head gasket has a oil restrictor built into it. The 2.2 block has the oil restrictor built into the block. You don't want to use a head gasket that matches the head you want to use a head gasket that matches the block
Thank you, sir. I have follow up clarification. In my mazda b2000 gasoline engine, I used valve clearance 0.25mm in both intake and exhauz. Is it correct? Thank you.
There is a company called Delta Cams that will take your cam and regrind it and they can change it up some. Some guys in our facebook group and in other groups on facebook, have mentioned they did this and saw minimal to zero gains in performance.
Man that is the easiest engine to work on the Cam Pulley has indicators of each cylinder's true TDC! other engines where you gotta place a screw driver in the spark plug hole, feel the valves move and guess where the TDC is
I took my valve cover off to paint it. Truck seems to run fine but was wandering if I should re-torque the head bolts and adjust the valve lash? I'm pretty sure the motor has never been apart
That's hard to say The hydraulic are maintenance-free and the mechanical lifters you will have to adjust every 15,000 mi The only difference is the hydraulic lifters if you neglect oil changes the little bitty holes in them for the oil passages could get stopped up and cause a lot of ticking.
Hi bro I have b2600i 2.6 injection petrol timing settings are 5degrees very slow an hard on fuel do you think 12 degrees timing would be better from rich in new Zealand
Just got my cylinder head block back from resurfacing and tried doing this [again], but now the valves & springs aren't correct for spacing. Any ideas what I should do? Also, your channel has been my mentorship on this vehicle frame, thank you sir!!
That's odd. Try again. Decking the head should have no effect on putting the valves and springs together. Also it's hard to explain in text but on the underside of the head, there is a divet. You can deck the head until the divet disappears and then that's as low as you can go.
@@MazdaMitch Tried TDC for cylinder head and the block individually, then resumed valve lash adjustment - no change, still not letting me adjust it. The closest I can get it set is to the, "CX" marking. I believe the machine shop maybe reassembled it incorrectly? I will have to call them back 😔🤷♂️
I was dumb, I thought I was doing it individually according to the video, went back to the machine shop and he showed me how to do rotate the cam and adjust the lash properly 🤷♂️🤫🤦🏼
86-87 (B2000) Mazda trucks had mechanical lifters. 88-93 (B2200) Mazda trucks had hydraulic non adjustable lifters. Many choose to swap the valve train in favor of the adjustable rockers. If you have swapped over, or have an other Mazda, this video is for you. If your B2200 is chattering, ticking, it is likely your hydraulic lifters are not staying primed. You can replace them, or swap to the adjustable valve train. If you do so, use the 2.0 cam along with the adjustable rockers. To find out what you have, take the valve cover off and inspect.
@@MazdaMitch super noob here but im trying to understand. to swap to the adjustable valve train i just need to swap to the 2.0 cam and change to the adjustable rockers? is there anything else that needs to be done?
@@thelocalwolf Thats correct. Heads are the same, but if you want to adjust, then you need to adjustable valve train, and the 2.0 cam to go with it. When swapping valve trains, all you need is the rails and rockers. Leave the CAM and RAIL CAPS with the head. They are mated to the head.
Tengo un problema con mi camioneta realice el cambio de empaque de culata arme paso a paso la puse a tiempo pero ala hora de encender la marcha no puede girar el motor como que el voltaje se baja que podrá ser
@@MazdaMitch I first tried to replace the O rings but quickly decided it's be easier to replace the lifters. The new lifters were cleaned then soaked overnight in break in oil. The oil rails were cleaned. Keeping the new lifters from falling out during reassembly was a PITA but I managed to get everything back in properly after a few tries. Eyes closed, fingers crossed, butthole puckered I fired her up. I let the engine get to operating temp and drove around the block. I could still hear ticking but it sounded different. A google search suggested adjusting the timing chain balancer. I did the adjustment (easy 10 min job) and took it for another drive around the block. I haven't heard any ticking since. ...if that 3D printer is cranking out a bezel to fill the gaps from your radio relocation, I'm interested!
You would need to swap the cam to a 2.0 cam, and put on adjustable rockers. They can be ordered online. Some swap the entire valve train from a 2.0 to the 2.2 but you will need to keep your cam towers, as they are mated/matched to the head.
thanks a ton! finally found a well knowledged Mazda mechanic who can actually get good video of what is happening and explain at the same time
Hello. It's same method for Mazda B1600. Engine F6 ; Thanks 👍
Thank you for doing such and excellent job. I just put on a new head on my truck and am making sure all the valves are correct.. Been so long since I had to do this I forgot how. .. Your instruction is just what I needed..... superb !
Thanks for watching!
I'm so glad I found this video. Subbed.
Greetings from New Zealand.
Awesome! Thank you!
The second method was super helpful this time around! I think you were spot on with that #4 exhaust being loose via the shop manual method.
Thanks buddy my truck was starting to have a little bit of misfires here and there and narrowed it down to valves that were really loose. The put some new Denzo plugs in it and wires cap and button truck runs great.
On you saved my truck thank you so much this video work so well for me and now my babies fix thanks Mazda Mitch
That's awesome thanks for replying and thanks for watching.
Great information 🎉
Very helpful and informative. I think this will get me out of trouble.
Loved you sharing method 2 mate , been doing method one for years and always end up with improvement but rattle still there.
Cheers James

Yes set both to . 010 cold
Me funcionó excelente quedó muy silenciosa gracias ! @@MazdaMitch
I can hear the 3d printer in the back hahaha
Ha good ear!
Definitely sharing this helpful info method #2👍
Hey mitch can you do a video on fan clutch idler bracket to swap out bearing in it .instead of buying whole bracket ???
Great tutorial video, I got a question are the internals of the N/A engine the same for turbo version?
I have read before that they are. I'm not a 100% certain though
me and my b2200 love us some mazda mitch thanks
Yes very good. Second method is definitely better and was the method I learned years ago. So by the sound of it, the second method is the old school method.
Yes and to me it produces better results.

Advance your timing
@@MazdaMitch I will give it a try. I had the timing light on it but maybe I did something wrong. Thank you very much for the reply sir.
I think you said something like the Delta cam is that a high performance cam for?
There is a company called Delta Cams that will take your cam and regrind it and they can change it up some. Some guys in our facebook group and in other groups on facebook, have mentioned they did this and saw minimal to zero gains in performance.
Te rifaste bro, me sacaste de un apuro nuevo sub

Never seen that before but have seen a person or two break there. I would not say it's a common thing. Could have been a casting defect casting error.
one question, the mazda F8, FE and F2 engines uses the same valve head?
Yes heads are the same.
Thanks for the video, I think somethings strange on my 86 b2000. There's 2 line marks on the balancer with white paint on the right one (if your facing the fire wall) my manuel says tdc is the yellow mark on left. But yours is on the right? Am I missing something here? Thanks.
Mine is a 2.2. The way yours is, that's how it is on a 2.0.
.010" was too loose for my B2000; SUPER noisy. I had to redo it and went to .008" cold. Now it's good to go.
It shouldn't have been too loose. Are you using the correct cam? Need to use the 2.0 cam with the mechanical valve train. If using the 2.2 you'll never get the noise out. You end up wiping the cam
@@MazdaMitch It's all stock 2.0L
Why do you recommend changing the camshaft as well as adjustable rockers from a 2.0 to a 2.2? Is the 2.0 cam casting harder?
I may not be understanding your question, but I think you asked it backwards, let me explain the simplest way I know how. There is nothing wrong with hydraulics lifters.

Yes
Hello. I have a question regarding the cam. I already have put to new head on my 2.2 1991. And the both them got worn out bad.
Any ideas of why this is happening?Oil good, valves adjusted correctly. I am stock. Thank you
Did you replace the head gasket? Did you use the correct one for the block? The 2.0 head gasket has a oil restrictor built into it. The 2.2 block has the oil restrictor built into the block. You don't want to use a head gasket that matches the head you want to use a head gasket that matches the block
Great video! Was wondering Does this apply for the fe dohc engine?
The principles are the same.
Great job explaining but I do have one issue my timing belt sprocket has letters instead of numbers A D and CX what should I do
Then use method where each lobe faces down.
@@MazdaMitch thank you I did that and it and it worked great!!
Sir, i would like to clarify the mazda engine you use in the demonstration. Is it gasoline mazda engine? Thank you so much!
Yes it's a b2000/2200 engine
Thank you, sir. I have follow up clarification. In my mazda b2000 gasoline engine, I used valve clearance 0.25mm in both intake and exhauz. Is it correct? Thank you.
@@escobarpinzon1976 rewatch the video I tell you exactly the correct measurements in thousands of an inch not millimeters
hay mitch What is a good cam for the 1989 Mazda b2200?
There is a company called Delta Cams that will take your cam and regrind it and they can change it up some. Some guys in our facebook group and in other groups on facebook, have mentioned they did this and saw minimal to zero gains in performance.
Man that is the easiest engine to work on

I took my valve cover off to paint it. Truck seems to run fine but was wandering if I should re-torque the head bolts and adjust the valve lash? I'm pretty sure the motor has never been apart
It would be a good idea to recheck the torque and yes I just the valves.
Is this the same procedure for the 2.2 EFI?
You can't adjust the lifters on the 2.2 their self-adjusting so no not unless you have a mechanical valve train swap
Are mechanical lifters better than HLA?
That's hard to say The hydraulic are maintenance-free and the mechanical lifters you will have to adjust every 15,000 mi The only difference is the hydraulic lifters if you neglect oil changes the little bitty holes in them for the oil passages could get stopped up and cause a lot of ticking.
What if my cam sprocket for 2.0 is not 1234. It is A for tdc B and cx
Don't worry about the b or the CX If you want to adjust your valves you can use method two where each cam lobe points straight down
