papak Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 When the machine shop disassembled my 2.3l Duratec, they lost the lower O/P chain guide (the fixed one). Any help in locating a replacement would be greatly appreciated. No, Ford doesn't sell it; you would need to purchase a short block to get one.

xcarguy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'd first take it up with the machine shop. Aside from that, you might try a salvage yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzempel Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Is this the part you need? http://www.ebay.com/itm/W0133-1781802-OES-Genuine-Oil-Pump-Chain-Rail-/231521573765?hash=item35e7c2db85&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papak Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 I swear I searched EBay yesterday morning but I was searching for it as a "Duratec" part. Great investigative work! Thanks, it's on the way to me now. All of the basic components of the Mazda 3 2.3l are compatible. I should have the pistons installed tomorrow and the head on this weekend.
