Mazdaspeed engine build

[Aurquilla96]

Hey guys! not new to Mazdaspeeds but new here! So I apologize if there is already a thread on this. I used to have a 09 speed 3 that I enjoyed building and driving but unfortunately had to sell when my kids came along. I recently came along a 06 Speed 6 that has a spun bearing. I have the block refreshed and ready to install, but is there specs for head bolt tightening, cam caps, timing marks, etc? I have the timing plates and all other tools needed to do job. Anything helps!

There is a thread with a number of torque specs on the forums here.

This is a copy and paste from that other forum...

So I took the time to pull a bunch of engine torque specs from all-data. Enjoy, and let me know if you need any more and I can try and dig them up!

Loosening order:

(I personally recommend a few loosening steps)
Tightening order:

Step 1: 3-11 Nm (27-97 in-lbf)
Step 2: 13-17 Nm (116-150 in-lbf)
Step 3: 43-47 Nm (32-34 ft-lbf)
Step 4: 88°-92°...

Also it didn’t take more than a few minutes of searching to find a PDF of the two FSM’s for a Speed6 when I got mine. If for some reason you are having trouble finding these for free I believe this forum, like many others, has them available for donating members somewhere on the site.

Good luck with the build! I put off my engine build since mines still running pretty good, but I always have an actual FSM on hand when building an engine because sometimes the forums have typos or wrong info, or different values if you are using aftermarket parts, and I like to cross reference.
