Nope you cannot check leakdown on this engine. This is what I concluded 10 years ago and after trying many things same conclusion. The VVT overlap must not be 0 at rest. Even at the 30°? Max retard idk if this makes sense. But every engine, new/old I've tried this on end up with same issues. At...

Well that is the last thing want to deal with right now TBH. After B12 and ATF soak still 50PSI. Then tried blowing 40psi air into cylinder at TDC (tried both TDC as idk if on compression stroke) but with neighbor mowing lawn can't hear or see using lighter flame if intake or exhaust valve...

We will see if bumper ever goes back on... OMG long post....TLDR bad compression on #4. Ring stuck or its cracked and engine fucked... So compression test was not good. First cylinder tested was #4 and only went to 150. Using solid pipe with gage, not a hose. But still maybe gage was off... so...

Got belt on. PITA. Had to remove bolts on PS pump and tilt to get it on. So here is the K&N filter. Pretty close to the JBR. Seems to fit: Polished headlights (hard to see i pics but left is polished) They were not terrible so just used Menzerna P091E w/ orange pad then FF3000 with blue...

Can't get belt on as ussual. I've always had a hard time installing belt on ms6. I recall having to undo PS pump to angle to get on and then bolt back down. Crank tensioner all the way (dayco one) using 9/16 socket and cannot get belt on tensioner so switched to have belt on tensioner and crank...

Ms6 uses same projectors as m6 for halogen and HID just a bracket on HID so you will never get as good light as a proper projector no matter what bulbs. I did a retrofit on mine and there are now kits. But dont expect new bulbs to match what as has assuming its proper HID. Also I went with 6k...

Hard to tell but looks clean. If find another certainly post and tag me if want as will try to help.

Is FS post still up? Im curious what you were looking at. if not what was price?

The used market is terrible. I would not think affecting MS6s much but IDK maybe is as I have not looking at prices. Being how rare that are its hard to find a deal. Most left are ether junk, overpriced or...not running. Which is why I would go with a not running, for $1000 and buy a brand new...

Same make and model? Same DOT date? Maybe he rotated once? Not likely to get wear like that unless junk tires somehow wore more in rear. So I think was PO and you didn't notice. Now that you have buy 4 new tires and keep an eye on them and rotate idk what else to say

You can make your own. I have one using a Spearco 1-992 IC like this

Compression test is #1 IMO. 180+ across all is what I would want unless plan to pull engine to rebuild/replace. Idk that you will find one with 180s at that milage...I have seen rare occurrence where compression and leakdown test fine yet car was burning qt oil every 1k with no smoke. Idk how...

I'm sure PO didn't replace all 4. Buy four new tires.

Well I know I was a member back in 2016 as have email from this site about reply to this subscribed thread: https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/random-crap-continued.381/ same user name same email. IDK if somehow email changed but then how was I able to pick this username again. No...

Wanted to introduce myself as been around basically from the beginning but off forums for a while as car was running ok and busy. Bought my MS6 in 2006 or 2007 with 700 miles on it so was basically new. For years kept my milage low then had to commute 140mi a day and went from 36k in 2012 to...

So with all the locked threads in FS section just tried to sort as only FS but that dont work as no one used FS so every thread that came up was locked as not changed to sold. I have not listed anything yet here but shouldn't prefix be required? 2nd can locked threads be switched to something...

Edit...sorry for long post. Part of confusion is I was using ms6 pn: L3G2-18-100B-9U which go for $90 Just found Gen2 pn LF2L-18-100A which go for $70 Cheapest found for LF2L-18-100A was $256 shipped using 20SHIP promo for free shipping (or up to $20 off shipping (mine was only going to be $8)...

So no one has any reviews on AM ignition coils? Would imagine some have tried them out by now. I dont even know if mine have any issues but price for four AM coils is same as one OEM.

These used to be highly recommended back in the MSF day. Had them in watch list now for years. Assume OOS but price may go back to $169 https://www.ebay.com/itm/131265427638 If not IDK. Sort of wish had bought as spares now... And no CX7 wont fit axles are MS6 specific but maybe could rebuild...

Bought my MS6 in 2006 with 700mi on it. Now at 127k. TLDR: this is just a thread on me fixing my car. Been around but off the forums for a while now and most here now probably dont know me. Not noob just been away so long going to take a while to remember everything. So posting thread as I...
