DanielC Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Drill the hole in the broken off part bigger, and then tap (thread) it. screw bolt into it, pull bolt out, with broken off part of oiler. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Don't even need it. Enough oil sprays down from the cam. On top of this the tensioner spews oil onto the chain too. The six cylinder doesn't have them. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 As Mike said or 13081-2100 from dealer Quote Link to comment
FiveSeventyZee Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 oh I was kinda thinking that but I've learned that halfassing is a bad idea haha. but yeah as long as I'm not the only one thinkin it I'd rather leave it off. mostly because I don't want to have more down time than I have to. the Mazda is no fun compared to the dime :P Quote Link to comment
