Grtrat1 Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Wifes car 1994 Cavalier 2.2 Wife was taking kids to school and said she heart a POP noise and the engine quit. When I took the old timing chain and tensioner off, you can see some of the tensioner wedged in the teeth of the gears. So Im thinking the chain droke do to the nylon being wedged into the gear, wheich made it jump time. After replacing the timing chain and tensioner and putting everything back together, I tried to start. Nope nothing. I did a finger compression check and not even a small fart out of the cylinders. So here I am getting the prices together on re-doing the head. More pictures when I begin the assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
