The 2 Mazda motors listed both have overhead cams, the gm 3.0 is a cam in block- pushrod engine. It would have a stamped steel valve cover vs an aluminum formed one on the Mazda's. The Mazda's don't have a balancer assy as far as I know- just the front pulley which is secured by multiple small bolts to a hub assy which has a bolt through it in the middle to the crank
i believe that we have pinned it down to a 3.0
yeap, swoop, I am pretty sure the 2.4 GM was 2007 and newer. would be a fortis truck.
strange thing...
i was answering this question without even looking in the manuals basing them on past knowledge of these trucks...
then the further along this thread went i decided to look this morning...
out of a general search on the model shown in the thread header an H60XM i found out something interesting.
there are only 3 gas/lpg engines offered up in the manual.
mazda 2.0, 2.2 and the GM 3.0 and a diesel 2.6.
there is no listing for a GM 2.4.
what is the serial number of this truck?
there is a hole in the end of the crank, but it doesn't look big enough for a bolt of any substantial size. Like maybe an 8mm at the most. I would think that if it bolted on it would have a bigger bolt in it. Don't know, that's what i'm trying to figure out. Thanks for your responses
I've always seen a retaining bolt through the balancer. Look to see if there's a threaded hole in the middle of the crank.
Well not really, it came off in the parking lot. The bolted pulley still attached to the balancer. That's why i'm trying to find out if there is supposed to be a big bolt through it or if it is press fit.
removed itself eh?
could of been a taper fit and when you removed the pulley it was already loose and just came off.
I've seen some get get wedged on the taper and can be difficult to remove...
you were lucky :o)
Well, it removed itself, so i was just wondering if it had a bolt and i need one of those too along with a new balancer or if i need a special tool when i go to put it on.
ehhh... balancer?
yeah that one might be pressed or taper fit
look on the face of it, if there are tapped holes for screws then you'll need a special puller to remove that
I'm sorry, i guess i shouold have said whether the balancer bolted or pressed on. Sorry for the confusion
the 2.4 gm crank pulley (for the alternator belt) bolts on with 4 bolts. it does not have a locator pin as it does not have timing marks on the crank pulley, and does not have to be put back on in a certain location.
Most gm motors i know of bolt on
