Tribute 2.0L

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2002 Mazda Tribute, 2002 Mazda Protege5, 2002 Mazda Protege, 2002 Mazda Millenia, and 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ensure engine is cold. Remove valve cover. Using feeler gauge, measure valve clearance between base of camshaft lobe and valve tappet. Record measurement and location of all valve tappets. If any tappets are not within specification, go to next step. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
  2. Remove timing belt and appropriate camshaft for valves requiring adjustment. See appropriate article in ENGINES. Remove appropriate tappet and measure thickness of tappet. Select tappet by adding measured clearance plus base tappet thickness minus most desirable clearance. Lubricate tappets with SAE 5W-30 oil and reinstall camshafts. Ensure valve clearances are as specified. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS  table. To complete repair, reverse removal procedure. Install NEW valve cover gasket and timing belt.
    NOTE: Do not reuse timing belt, install NEW timing belt.
