Yes, this manual is compatible with the 2.3L MZR L DISI turbo I4 (turbo, i.e. Mazdaspeed / L3-VDT / L3K9 family) engine variant. You’ll find all the hard numbers and procedures for:
- Crankshaft: main/rod journal diameters, out-of-round limits, oil clearances, end play, wear limits, and torque + angle for main cap bolts.
- Connecting rods: big-end/small-end dimensions, side clearance, bolt torque/angle, bearing grade selection, and replacement/measurement steps.
- Pistons & rings: piston diameter/grade, skirt clearance, ring side clearance and end gaps, pin fit, orientation, and service limits.
- Bearings & selection codes: color/grade charts and how to match block/crank marks to choose the right bearings.
- All related torques: one-time-use (TTY) bolts are clearly called out with the angle sequences.
