-Custom Age 625+ 10mm (stock size) head studs torque to 100 lbs with ARP lube. -Cometic MLX Gasket (custom style with water jackets modified) head lifted because I didnt retorqued it, I normally retorqued after 3 heat cycles then another retorque after 5 WOT logs but this time I got very very...

search for the thread that had the VVT replacement, the instruction is actually there on how to do it, it doesnt show that the cams are remove but the exhaust/intake gear were remove and thats how you can remove the cam, many will argue on the reason of headlift, knock, improper torque, etc...

Check you crank position sensor, the pigtail(connector) should be facing inside towards the engine. some people install it back wars since its easy to get confused.

N/A 2.3 from the older mazda3/6 and the 2.5L from fusions and new mazda do have a stronger chain, and thicker gears, just google the chain, sp63 just came out with "custom" heavy duty chain for the speed but looks like its just from a 2.5 with the exhaust cam gear being the only custom part...
