I'm looking for timing marks for a 1997 2.2 mazda motor, it's in a fork lift and it's a dual over head cam with a chain.

SOURCE: Trying to put timing chain

no adjustment neccesary. There is a timing chain tensioner, which you will simply push back in to its body. once you do that, there should be a small hple somewhere on the body of the tensioner. That' sthere so you can piut a paper clip into it to keep the tensioner from coming out. Once you lock that in place you can remove the tensioner and than the timing chain.Once you get it all back together, just pull back on the pin and the tensioner will come out and put tension on the chain. good luck.

It was so easy once you posted us the diagram, being a Japanese import, one never knows what if anything has been done to these vehicles, and without the relevant paperwork they can be a nightmare.

1. Remove the engine front cover. For additional information, refer to Engine Front Cover in this section.

1. Remove the crankshaft sensor ring from the crankshaft.

1. Rotate the crankshaft until the timing mark on the RH camshaft sprocket is approximately at the 11 o'clock position and the timing mark on the LH camshaft sprocket is approximately at the 12 o'clock position.

1. Using the special tool, position the crankshaft as shown.
   

1. Install the special tool.

1. NOTE: LH shown; RH similar.
   Remove the two bolts, the timing chain tensioner and tensioner arm.

1. Remove the LH and RH timing chains and the crankshaft sprockets.
   
   • Remove the special tool from the crankshaft.
   • Remove the timing chains from the camshaft sprockets.
   • Remove the right and left timing chains and the crankshaft sprocket from the crankshaft.

1. CAUTION: The bolts are different lengths and must be returned to their original location.
   NOTE: LH shown; RH similar.
   Remove the bolts and the timing chain guides.

1. CAUTION: Timing chain procedures must be followed exactly or damage to valves and pistons will result.
   CAUTION: Do not compress the ratchet assembly. This will damage the ratchet assembly.
   Compress the tensioner plunger, using an edge of a vise.

1. Using a small screwdriver or pick, push back and hold the ratchet mechanism.

1. While holding the ratchet mechanism, push the ratchet arm back into the tensioner housing.

1. Install a paper clip into the hole in the tensioner housing to hold the ratchet assembly and plunger in during installation.

1. Remove the tensioner from the vise.

1. Position the LH timing chain on the camshaft sprocket with the two copper (marked) chain links and the camshaft sprocket timing mark aligned.

1. Position the RH (outer) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the copper (marked) link with the timing mark on the sprocket.

1. Position the RH timing chain on the camshaft sprocket. Make sure the two copper (marked) links align with the camshaft sprocket timing mark.

1. NOTE: LH shown; RH similar.
   Position the tensioner arms and tensioners, and install the bolts.

1. Remove the tensioner retaining clip.

1. As a post-check, verify correct alignment of all timing marks.
