While the thermostat is closed it prevents the coolant from going to the radiator but it’s circulating through the heater core and engine block then when the thermostat opens at 180 degrees it flows to the radiator and keeps it from overheating
All thru this video I was screaming "timing belt first!!!" and the last video, to remove the electrical wire/connector from the alternator. Nice valve cover!
it is a 93 mx6, thanks. Also, can you direct me to the VSS? i know its connected to the back of the transmission but its hard to see without removing alot of stuff.
i need help. can you tell me the colors of your distributor plug wires from left to right as shown in the video? my plug broke to pieces and im not sure which color wire goes where on the distributor. I see i have the same distributor as yours. would really appreciate your help. thanks.
Geoffrey Cabrera I cover the firing order here and you'll get a much better look too. th-cam.com/video/ewxQ2E4xWEg/w-d-xo.html Recommend you watch the whole video you'll learn a lot about the basic electrical system including the charging, starting, ignition, and fuse box electrical basics.
A couple of thoughts Devon. To reduce strain on parts, you should really slip the timing belt off and remove the camshaft pulleys before undoing the camshaft cap bolts. No tapping with mallets should be necessary to remove the caps. You should never lift the cam shafts up by one end. They should be lifted out while horizontal. That's just my opinion.
I like the idea of removing the cam gears prior to removing the camshafts. Certainly makes it easier than removing it in the air with 2 wrenches. You cannot lift camshafts out horizontally if the cam gears are still attached, you must tilt the far side up otherwise it's not coming out. I actually tried that first and it kept getting stuck. Felt like an idiot so edited that part out. It has to be lifted on the end.
***** Yes I know, that's why I think it's easier to remove the gears first. The caps hold the shaft steady while you use two spanners (wrenches). The manual I found advised me to do it that way. One thing you did do that I should have done is remove the intake manifold before removing the head. Boy did that thing make life difficult.
Peter Jenner Also, I used your rope trick to get the crankshaft bolt undone but I didn't dare try it on re-assembly. I just rattled it on with an 18 volt rattle gun. I took it to the local mechanic for him to torque it properly for me but he said the way I did it was fine. ...fingers crossed. :)
Peter Jenner Why not on reassembly? All you need is a torque wrench to ensure it's torqued to spec. If you're worried about touching the valves that's not going to happen if you've set the mechanical timing correctly. I understand and can appreciate the caution though. Always safer to be sure.

do you know if the 626 distributor in compatible to the mx6? its a v6 auto. Great videos btw, i'm learning alot about these cars
Did you have cylinder 1 at TDC when the cams were removed?
Damn you got some clean shiny tools there lo.
is the head blown,or you just doing a tutorial video.

***** Mostly because I only had nylon rope. On disassembly it doesn't matter because I can clean out any bits of nylon that may have broken off.
@DJDevon3 Ok cool, good info nice.
