The Mazda 3 (MZR Z6) engine is assembled according to the classical scheme with an in-line arrangement of 4 cylinders. It is a further development of the B6D powertrain, which was manufactured at the Hiroshima Plant. Now this plant produces all engines for the Mazda 3 car. The cylinder block of the MZR Z6 engine is made of durable aluminum alloy. The timing is driven by a lamellar steel chain, which does not need to be replaced for a long time (mileage of at least 250 thousand km). It is stretched using an automatic tensioner.
