Hi
Does anybody have a Workshop Manual for Mazda NA Series Engine?
This engine was in 626, B1600, E1600 etc around 1981 - 1985
This engine is in an 1983 E1600 van.

I need to know:

1 Cylinder Head Bolt Torque
2 Big End Bearing Bolt Torque
3 Inlet Valve Tappet Clearance
4 Exhaust Valve Tappet Clearance
5 Recomened Ring Gap

Falls into the generic Mazda engine class, most sharing common clearances
etc.

59-64 ft/lb

61-65 ft/lb

> 3 Inlet Valve Tappet Clearance

All Mazdas quote 0.25mm but that's as noisy as hell. 0.17mm is fine, will
last, and is a lot quieter.

This varies depending on ring and engine so, I won't quote any specs as I
don't have NA specific stuff.

Are the valve clearances listed on a sticker the engine compartment cover or
rocker cover?
