Couple quick questions: 2.5L V6 on 626
It never occured to my dumbass on a certain piece of important maintenance: timing.
Does the KL-G4 engine use a timing belt or timing chain?
And, as far as I know it's not an interference engine, but if I'm wrong, is it?

The Mazda K-series automobile engine is a short stroke, 60° V6 24-valve with belt-driven DOHC and aluminum-alloy cylinder heads and block. Their displacements range from a tiny 1.8 L to 2.5 L. They all use a 27-degree DOHC valvetrain with directly actuated hydraulic (HLA) bucket lifters. The K-series also feature a highly-rigid, all-aluminum split-crankcase engine block design with 4 & 6 bolts for each main journal, internally balanced forged crankshaft with long, lightweight forged carbon steel connecting rods. They were designed to be as compact as possible for short-hood front-wheel drive applications.

Does my mazda MX6 2.5I V6 1998 have an interference engine- broken timing belt?

You're fine. All Mazdas have non-interference engines

I should see if my dealer possibly has any history of the car prior to us buying it. We got it with 90k and it has 106k right now.
