    Mazda2 valve clearance adjustment and beyond?

    The dealers installed the lpg, not the mazda per se. No, I was saying to grind the back with the head on. But if you can "shave" the bucket for free, go that way. Set the clearance to 0.3-0.35 but with the valve seats collapsing there is a possibility to broke apart and ruin your motor.

    Mazda2 valve clearance adjustment and beyond?

    With the clearance smaller than the specks you are about to worn the camshafts and the buckets/tappets. Grinding the back of the valve is way more easier than grinding the bucket. You can do it by your self with a water sandpaper. Anyway, the reason that your clearance is smaller than the specs...

    Grind the back of the valve if you want a cheap solution.

    The problem is that 2 tooths broke from the 3rd gear(just under the fork) on the primary :( Because of the flash it isn't that clear what happened.

    Mazda2 valve clearance adjustment and beyond?

    I really really really can't understand your problem about the valve clearance. The specifications of the valve clearance are 0.27mm to 0.33mm with the engine cold. How much is your valve clearance?

    2005 Mazda Demio - what is this?

    The 1st should be a 1.3 and the lower one a 1.5 liter. It seems that mazda changed the throttle body actuation through its time.

    2005 Mazda Demio - what is this?

    Its the throttle body cable. I thought all the DY demios with the ZJ and ZY engines(1.3 and 1.5) have cable driven throttle bodies.

    What do you mean about the cooler? I bieleve that the motor with the stock sleeves(they are thick) can easily hold up to 350hp+ but the I believe tranny it won't. No I haven't notice any difference with the forged internals. I kept the same compression as the stock so it's as drivable as before...

    Long reach plugs - anyone tried?

    yes and they are for heads that they need a longer neck in order to be in the "right" height inside the chamber. BK ZF

    Long reach plugs - anyone tried?

    I believe that there is reason why the manufacturers want the plugs even(almost) with the chamber surface and only the tip inside the combustion chamber in the head. I am using Denso IK series with no problems at all.

    Mazda Japan - Demio Web pages

    The EUDM Mazda 2 pro-fl have the side under panels. Japanese makers do that with their cars all the time, in the past it was very common that many models(not only trim) were only for the JDM and countries like GB,AU,NZ also had them cause of the right hand drive.
