Mitch, great information. It helped me correct a problem that I could not figure it out. The oil hole! I bought '93 Ext. cab truck, not running. The previous owner installed a new head but messed up the valve train rails (tubes) and timing. As you pointed out, the rail hole must be sealed. The thing run almost dry. I checked the opening, and sure enough I could stick a nail in it. Turned the tube 90 Deg. and voila, have oil pressure. Had to replace the camshaft and complete valvetrain due to excessive wear. I am hooked to your channel, thanks.

On the Mazda trucks you can take the valve cover off and look at the center cap of the valve train and there's a little hole on the side and if you can see the valve train or tube there it's probably positioned correctly if you see a gaping hole or you can stick a pic through it it is in their upside down.

I am having trouble with really bad tapping even after setting the valve lash and have come to the conclusion through reading this is caused by worn out oil pump allowing oil to drain back and causing inadequate lubrication. Have searched for a KZread video showing how to replace it and haven't found anything is this something you could make a video on or is there something else that could be causing these symptoms. If I pour oil into the valve cover while engine is running noise goes away completely until the oil has drained back to oil pan

@MazdaMitch

How many miles are on the engine? The oil pump is not entirely responsible for pressure. The pressure comes from the tolerance of the main bearings. If the engine is very worn, a complete rebuild is in order. Follow the service manual to replace the oil pump. Online service manual on my website mazdaminitruckin.com

@MazdaMitch

2 жыл бұрын

You can do whatever, just remember, heads are sane on 2.0/2.2 the valve train is different and cams are different on 2.0/2.2 So... Always match up the 2.2 cam with hydraulic lifters and 2.0 cam with mechanical. Otherwise if you don't use the 2.0 cam with mechanical lifters you'll never get all the noise out.

So I did all this above in the video swapped adjustable rockers from a b2000 to b2200 head not sure what cam I have and also did your recommended valve lash with each cylinder at a time. I still have a chatter at about 2000 rpm thats loud chatter and goes away above that. Could I have bad camshaft kinda stumped bottom end is rebuilt no knocking below. No chatter on throttle till about 2000 2500 range. Timing is set to 12 btdc. Thanks for any advice from anyone

Correct. They have hydraulic lifters.

Love these trucks. Ive had about 4 of them. Currently have 91 B2600i 2wd S/B. Been trying to find OEM roller tip rockers that will fit. Or close so they can be modified to work. If anyone has any ideas lmk. I think the G6 2.6 rockers are different from these. I do know that subaru hyd lifters are same as mazda G6 hyd lifters.

So I have a new to me b2200. Found out the engine has been swapped to 2.0 but it has 2.2 head, cam and mechanical valve adjusters. Any issues with this? Reason I ask is because it sounds like a lifter is hitting the valve cover.

It made this sound before pulling it all apart and I could see marks on inside of valve cover where it looked like one was hitting. I replaced valve seals and adjusted valve lash, put it all back together and now that sound is louder. The valve that looked like it was hitting the valve cover was over right and needed loosened so it would make since it would hit valve cover harder, but why would it be hitting at all.

Did you prime them first? I have a video on how to prime the lifters. IF you did and they still do it, it could be that the lifters are just no good. Also if you had the entire valve-train apart, you have to be mindful of the rails. They supply oil and if one is in there wrong, you will starve the exhaust side of oil and they will NEVER prime. It was covered in the video.
