You will need to have any damage determined by removing the sump and big end bearings
this will allow the mechanic to determine if the crank has to be removed for a regrind and new bearings or just a big end bearing replacement
I would be expecting a crank shaft grind and all new bearings
such a big cost to pay for not checking the oil at least weekly.

Metal shavings are all thru the engine. Either a total rebuild or replacement engine. Don't try to patch it or you will waste much $.

SOURCE: Problem with Altenator belts Etude

the problem is not the altenator. you should have a idler pully and a self adjusting idler tensioner. if thes e go bad the bearings tend to seize up and break belts i would check these first chance you get the tensioner should be spring like and be hard to move back and forth the pulley part of it should spin freely with out makeing a noise. please rate this

SOURCE: timing belt setting and my car iddle are out of form mazda etude

Your camshaft and crankshaft pulleys have to be properly aligned upon installation of the timing belt. The cogs on the belt, should fit precisely with the teeth of the pulleys. Your # 1 engine cylinder should be moved to "Top Dead Center" before installing the belt. This means no compression once the top of the piston cylinder reaches the top of the chamber.

SOURCE: 2000 camry. blown head gasket (daughter drove car

Yes, you can, but not exactly recommended. If you are going to go that deep into it, then might as well do everything else. However, being unemployed tends to have a negative impact on the wallet....

I suspect it is more than just rings. I think that the walls have been scored badly as well. You may be able to use a borescope to take a peak into the cylinder through spark plug hole. Move the piston to bottom of stroke, and see what you can see. If scarred, much work will be needed. If hatches look alright, then you might be able to get away with just rings.

What kind of compression are you getting on #1 vs #2? This also might be a blown headgasket into an oil passage, or the head (perhaps block?) is ever so slightly warped in this area.

How do i fix the valve timing seals,and need the timing marks for mazda etude 96 16v doch

Have you replaced the timing belts. If not you need to. To replace the seals you have to remove the gears on the cam shafts.

I'm struggling to set the timing for my mazda etude 1996,my idling is also not stable, who can do it for me? prepered to pay, no chancers please !!!

Remove the plug from the 1st cylinder, insert a screw-driver, turn the crank by spanner until the screw-driver has moved upwards, and stopped moving. Make a mark on the crank pulley. Turn the crank further until the screw-driver starts moving downwards. Stop immediately and make another mark on the crank pulley. TDC would be right in the middle of the two marks, and your Etude should run optimally at about 12 degrees before TDC if high above sea level, otherwise 10-11 degrees should do.

Timing belt problem

No,the 1996 Mazda 626 is not a interfearance engine, meaning that the valves will not hit the pistons if the belt breaks while underway but the engine will not run untill the belt is replaced.
