Hello,

My name is Sam. I own a series 1 mazda 6. I luv this car. always wanted one. it's still my favourite design of the mazda's. it's the classic model. anyway recently i noticed it was burning oil. I have the L3 2.3L engine. long story short i replced the timing chain, drive belt, valve seals, yanked out the head and cleaned it up. replaced head, engine cover and intake manfold gaskets and put it all back together. Boom no more burining oil.. Yay... However...and this is really embarassing, I can't, for the life of me, rememer the location of these three bolts. (see attached) Can anyone help at all?

Also. I used the correct seal for the timing cover on the front of the engine. However I have a nasty oil leak. Is there a trick to this particular engine? I'm going to pull it out tomorrow to see what happened. Possibly the seal was knocked as it was going in, but I thought I'd ask.

I look forward to chatting with you all as I really need assistance with those bolts.

Kindest Regards
