As far as i know, the only difference between Mazda 2 and fiesta is the PCD. Fiesta has 4x108 and Mazda 2 4x100

Because you are in breaking in period it is normal to have more than normal blow by gases into the crankcase, thus it is normal to smell a little bit of gas. How is your oil consumption?

As i said before, The rear seats,upper and lower with the seatbelt brackets is about 20kg's rear upper = ~17-18kgs lower cushion = ~1.5-2kg seatbelt bracket = ~0.5kg 42-44lbs :) I don't remember exactly the numbers because it has been 3 years from the day that i put them on the scale.

The rear seats weight about 19-20kg's if i remember right.

For the weight i agree, but i am not sure about the power. The pulley of the compressor when it's not turned on, spins as freely as an idle pulley.

Yeap :)

Because of the difference that we have 2 liquids(oil/water) vs air/oil, this is why the whole world use a different term for each one.(heat exchanger, oil cooler)

This is why it is actually an heat exchanger, because it exchanges the heat from the hotter liquid to the cooler liquid. This is an Oil cooler:

That's why i was also confused, because in the picture i see heat exchanger and not an oil cooler as the brochure says.

Is that oil cooler or just an exchanger?

Hm, From a small research that i did, i found that for you guys in USDM you have different Mazda oils and manufactured by different maker than here in EUDM. Here in EUDM the mazda oils are called Dexelia and produced by Total/Elf. It's a bit confusing... The last 2 years i am with Torco...

Because of the nature of the bucket tappets which our car has, it is normal to hear the valves in the first few seconds after a cold start up in the winter especially if you haven't start the engine for over 2 days . Is there any reason that made you go from Mobil1 to the Dexelia?

In fact, it will be much more expensive to replace the tappets/buckets than shims :) btw, again from the service manual:

As i said in post #9, the way of adjusting the valve clearance is by replacing the whole bucket/tappet. From the service manual:

take a close look at the picture that i got when i was measuring the clearances

I know :) It's is the bucket The way of adjusting the valves is by changing the buckets with different sizes (2.980 - 3.495mm). ;)

I think that ford probe used mazda engines ;)

They are Shimless Derrick ;)

Just for fun :D
