2005 Mazda 6 Timing Belt
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the S. Florida area to replace the timing belt on my car? What is the approximate cost you are paying for this work? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Daniel |

Re: 2005 Mazda 6 Timing Belt
These have timing chains. Unless you are having real issues there is no need to replace it.
tapatalking.. err wait.

what happens if the chain does break, will that ruin the engine or is it designed not to affect the engine?

Re: 2005 Mazda 6 Timing Belt
It will hit the valves. I've never heard of chain breaking on these engines though.

These are non-interference engines, so theoretical nothing. You start walking!
Seriously - unless you have something going wrong - no need to replace the chain. It should easily go 150,000 miles. EDIT: TALK ABOUT UNCERTAIN!!!! I can find no absolute truth which is it is; As best I read the people that bent valves did so under OVER-REV conditions which does not make them interference. SOMEONE POST SOME ACTUAL FACTS!!!

Re: 2005 Mazda 6 Timing Belt
Yeah I've read a lot of weird stuff too. The last few that I've rebuilt have all touched the valves.

The valves do kiss the pistons if the timing is wrong or there is no timing due to a busted chain! I have seen it on my replacement engine!
