Post Hey got some questions

Hey guys I am a new one to the site...Been using mx6.com but I thought i would give this site a shot...

Ok my questions are first off.. my dash has lifted up on my car any ideal how to get it to stay now i tried spay adhesive and clamping it down for like 24hr. and when i got home it was back up.... i got a pic of it if you need one...

Next whats the best why to get a mazda mx6 1993 timed, and last what would the rpm sit at in park and what should they sit at in any other gear?

Thanks

I'd suggest a 2-part epoxy for the dash. That spray adhesive seems capable of only light-duty jobs. Even the stuff that's labeled for headliners don't seem to stand the test of time. Epoxy or some other stuff you could try is a putty that cures to nearly the hardness of steel. Goes by several names: magnum steel is one, i think i've seen a brand called quicksilver as well. that stuff would onlt do well for non-porous materials, so depends on the surfaces you're trying to join.

You could get a timing light, if you're talking about ignition timing. Or take it to shop, but you'd pay for them to just hook it up at a lot of places.

On idle rpm, with your engine, i don't know. I've no experience with a 2.0. My 93 with 2.5 idled arund 600, if i remember correctly. Been too long since it could be driven.

hey man. the timing and idle speeds may vary depending on what engine you have.

check these out (online work manuals)
for the B6 engine:

and for the K8 engine:

Bravo on the links!
However, they may yield good ideas, but they cover mx3 engines. He's working with 2.0 4-cyl mx6...
