Hi All,
I'm helping my buddy put his 2003 2.0 Protege back together after a head gasket replacement. We took off the cam gears and didn't mark where the dowel pins go. I found this picture from MazdaSpeed protege Racing


It says it is for the "FS" and there was another option for "ZM", but this picture matched his engine and the gears look the same. This was his best guess at to how the pins were aligned. The shop that ground his head and did a valve job marked the slots, but we didn't mark which was for intake or exhaust. Here is how we currently have it on, but we stopped until we could get confirmation on how it is supposed to go. Any help or advice is appreciated. Sorry for the size. The image upload on this forum is something I'm not familiar with.

 

Did u figure out the position I also have a 2003 protege doing the same thing and I didn’t mark the position they were in so u have the right position that u can share I would really appreciate it
