1992 B2200 Mazda timing instructions

If the engine is spinning over and it is an interference engine, there is enough kinetic energy stored in the flywheel to bend a valve, yes.

Remove the distributor cap, crank the engine is the distributor rotor turning? Then check the timing belt.

Check your gas for possible water. Just in case try a can of SEAFOAM in your gas. It will take about 10 min of running to work. Also recheck the gap on the spark plugs it should be .044 gap. One other thing to check is the firing order and make sure the wires were put back in the right place to the right spark plug

the crank has a mark at 12 o clock, each cam has a mark at 12 o clock. line them all up and put the belt on. be sure to properly tension the belt. be sure to replace the idler pulley, and the water pump. hope there are no bent valves.

i have the same problem it turns over and its back firing could it be timing

Too low fuel pressure. Try spraying starting fluid while someone else cranks it. If it runs, you need fuel pump

Try plugging the vacuum advance hose itself to test the timing. Is the white Mark located where it should be? The Yellow is your advanced timing mark and should be also also be aligned with the pointer.

the timming should be set @ 6BTC you will need a timming light to check it.
You should go buy a manual from your local automotive store befor changing your timming belt
the site below will show you how to make sure you timming marks are right but it will not explain the removel or installation

mazdas specs for the crank are .985 but alot of cranks are made with a tolerence of .005 so from the factory alot of cranks are .005 to big are alittle smaller but both are right alittle play wont hurt it

The keyway and or the dot on the crank should be line at 12 oclock. You will see a point on the oil pump housing to go by. On the camshaft the pointer will be at 12 oclock also. Use the O on the camshaft to the top at mark. Be sure to look at the dist. roter to make sure that it is pointing at the #1 spark plug wire. I could get 180 out of time. If you do it right it should start up right away. then you can use a timing light to finish it.
