it all seem pretty much interchangeable - I run a KLZE with the K8 EGR tubes & exhaust manifolds - no problem with emissions testing or with any fault codes.

just going to replace with new Mazda links - nothing special. I'm glad it's not just me that has had trouble with these things. Canadian Tire have a 105 piece Mastercraft "Dremel" which I'll I'll get in the morning

Anybody got any tips for getting the end links off - I got the nut off only so far before the joint starting turning. I tried putting a hex key in the end to hold it but it rounded off. I am going to have to resort to cutting the link off?

thnx

when I did mine the gas consumption with the K8 ecu was only about 10% worse than normal - I was luckier than the others I suppose.

I got my KLZE from Foreign Engines in Lynnwood WA, it's been in for a year and done over 25,000km - no problems no oil usage - all it's done is to wear out the synchros on my transmission due to the extra power! I made sure I saw all the codes first - just follow curtklze's advice - it works - take ...

are you sure it's not a low brake fluid light or the abs light?

do you burn any oil as high HC can be this as well?

thanks for your help - one less thing to worry about!

I've tried searching and there is no conclusive post on if the KLZE head gasket is any different from the KLDE 2.5 V6

Anybody had any experience of this & if possible a part numer & place to order from?

thnx

I run the KLZE TB, K8 ECU & KLDE VAF - I got fastpass on Aircare, plenty of power and mileage is around 32 mpg. Works for me!

I know you said you had fuel but I thought I did for 2 days & it turned out the fuel lines were reversed - it's worth 5 minutes to do that. The slot in the ditributor cam only goes on one way - anyway the distributor position doesn't make any difference as the timing is pretty much automatically...

chanko - you're right I fitted the mx-6 one when I did my KLZE & side by side the mx6 is 10mm bigger

I posted the bearing number a couple of months ago - try a search in the meantime - I'll take a look at my invoice in the morning

It worth checking the idler/tensioner near the p/s pump as I was all set to change mine after similiar symptoms to yours and I span the bearing & it was all loose and grinding - took less than 15 minutes to pop a spare one I had on!
