600 YRM 496 Engine Removal and Installation
General
This section has the instructions for removal, disassem-
bly, repair, assembly, installation, checks, adjustments,
and troubleshooting for the FE and F2 engines. The en-
gine specifications are given at the end of the section.
Additional information on engine components can be
found in the sections for Gasoline Fuel System, LPG
Fuel System, and Electrical System.
Description
WARNING
Some gaskets used in this engine can contain dan-
gerous fibers. Breathing dust from these fibers is a
cancer or lung disease hazard. Do not create dust!
Use vacuum equipment for asbestos or follow the
cleaning procedure described below.
• Make sure the gasket material is wet with water or
oil to prevent particles in the air.
• Use a hand scraper to remove old gasket material.
Do not use a power tool or compressed air.
• Discard all asbestos material in a closed con-
tainer while it is still wet.
• Put a DANGEROUS FIBERS warning label on
the container. Discard dangerous fiber material
safely.
CAUTION
Disconnect the battery cables before doing any dis-
assembly and repair to the engine or parts of the
electrical system.
The diodes and resistors in the electrical system
can be damaged if the following cautions are not
followed:
• Do not disconnect the battery when the engine
is running. The voltage surge can damage the
diodes and resistors.
• Do not disconnect an electric wire before the en-
gine is stopped and the key switch is OFF.
• Do not cause
a short circuit by connection of the
electric wi
res to the wrong terminals. Make sure

before it is
connected.
• Make sure a b
attery is the correct voltage and po-
larity befo
re it is connected.
• Do not check
for current flow by making a spark
because the
transistors can be damaged.
The Mazda FE
and F2 engines have four cylinders. The
displacem
ent of the FE is 1998 cm
3
(121.9 in.
3
). The
displacem
ent of the F2 is 2184 cm
3
(133.2 in.
3
). The
firing ord
eris1–3–4–2. Theyarebothavailable
with eith
er a gasoline or LPG fuel system. The No. 1
cylinder
is toward the end of the engine with the cooling
fan.
The overh
ead camshaft is driven by a cog belt. The
camshaft
operates the rocker arms that actuate the
valves.
The crank
shaft has five main bearings. The main bear-
inginthe
center of the crankshaft is also the thrust bear-
ing.
The pist
ons are aluminum alloy and have three piston
rings. E
ach of the two compression rings have a special
shape de
signed for its position on the piston. The third
piston r
ing is the oil control ring.
Engine Removal and Installation
The removal and installation procedures for the engine
are not included in this section. For model units
GP/GLP/GDP16-20AF/BF (GP/GLP/BDP030-040AF/
BF), GC/GLC030-040AF, and GLP/GDP16-20AF
(GP/GLP/GDP030-040AF), see the section Frame 100
YRM 545. For model units GP/GLP/GDP2.0-3.0RF/TF
(GP/GLP/GDP040-060RG/TG/ZG) and GC/GLC040-
065TF/RF, see the section Frame 100 YRM 505.
