Xspeedfab Timing kit w/ no camshaft washers

[Florida2008Speed3]

I am doing the timing job on my 2008 Speed 3 and I ordered the xspeedfab timing kit and it no longer comes with camshaft washers and the description says they are not needed before I put it together I wanted to get the opinion of other speed owners with more experience with this

Always replace the friction washers.

always replace them, also don't trust xspeedfab we've had to ban them from here...

I mean if you are willing to gamble your motor with what xspeedfab claims then send it!

Personally I wouldn't though, Awa and L337 have already mentioned the correct path here.

First problem is giving money to someone who has no clue they are absolutely needed. Get them.

Here is the best instructions out there. https://www.mazdaspeeds.org/index.p...eed-3-mazdaspeed-6-cx-7-vvt-the-roku-way.855/

Thanks for letting me know, I will get those before finishing the job. I should have done a bit more research on xspeedfab before ordering. Thanks for all of these quick comments

No worries!

Update : xspeedfab is out of business and many are out of money.

Has anyone heard from them?

Apparently he posted in a Facebook group he's in business just moving or something.

Weird flex to posted to be taking orders when the business license expired.
