It should have a belt.
The '94 V6 has a belt that should be changed every 105,000 miles. The 4-cylinder has a chain. Older models from 87-93 with the V6 and a square-toothed belt should have the belt changed every 60,000 miles. The 93-94-95's with the round-tooth belt all have 105K change intervals. -88pathoffroadanswerIf it is a 4 cylinder z24 motor its got a timing chain. V6 VG30 its a timing belt
It will not start with a broken timing belt
I do not believe your 87 olds cutlass ciera (V-6 or 4) has a timing belt!!!It has gears instead. They usually outlast the life time of the auto.
You do not have to change the timing belt to replace the water pump. You do have to remove the timing belt cover to be able to access the bolts that hold the water pump on.
No This Doesn`t Seem To Be. Are You Sure You Have A Belt Or Timing Chain ? Only Oil Should Be In The Timing Chain Cover. Suggest You Have Another Mechanic Look At This. Also You Can Get Good Information At A Radiator Shop They Can Pressure Test Your Engine Cooling System. On 87 and later 2.8 and 3.1 V6 engines, coolant runs through the crankcase front cover (timing cover). According to Haynes.
i needi have an 87 4 +cylender 2.5 Chevy s10 pickup and need the timing diagram in order to get it running. can you help?
A Chiltons Manual explains it in detail.
as long as you have the timing marks set right on the timing chain gears the only other thing it could be is your distriburetor is set wrong.
They never made a 2.0 in that year :P

Yes.
You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.
