This manual explains the disassembly, inspection, repair, and reassembly procedures for the above-indicated engine. In order to do these procedures safely, quickly, and correctly, you must first read this manual and any other relevant service materials carefully.

B6 ENGINE:

1.6 L (1,597 cc) B6 (78.0×83.6 mm) This was a bored-out version of the B3. The 8-valve SOHC B6 was found in the 1985-1989 and 1990-1994 Mazda 323, the 1987-1990 Mercury Tracer, the 1992 Mazda MX-3, and the 1985-1990 Ford Laser.

In Japan, the United Kingdom, and Australia a fuel-injected version called the B6F was available. Kia’s version of the B6 had a marginally shorter stroke (at 83.4 mm), for a total displacement of 1,594 cc. This engine was used in the Rio, Sephia II, and Shuma.

BP ENGINE:

The 1.8 L (1,839 cc) BP is a dual-overhead variant of the B8. It was first found in the 1989 Mazda Familia and American-market 1990 Mazda Protege LX. This engine was dubbed BP-ZE and featured a forged crankshaft, piston oil squirters, a structural aluminum oil pan with cooling fins, a 7,000 rpm redline, and the Variable Inertia Charging System (VICS). This particular variant can be found in the following vehicles:
