Mazdaspeed 3 Engine Checks Before Install: Turbo, Timing Chain, Cam Follower

These are the checks most Mazdaspeed owners do on any replacement engine. Inspect the high-pressure fuel pump cam follower and replace it if it shows wear. Check the turbo for shaft play and oil in the intake tract. On first start, listen for a rattle from the timing chain side. Change the oil and filters before you drive it hard. Our engine replacement checklist has the general steps for any swap.
