How do you adjust the timing chain tension on a 1998 Saturn SL2?

There is no timing belt. Saturn Ion's use a timing chain.

No. There is no adjustment. The timing chain tensioner is an oil pressure driven device that adjusts the chain tension as needed. It is located on the pivot guide behind the timing chain cover.

Hello Sir. Its not possible to adjust since its tension depens on the oil pressure, if there is too much slack in your chain, you change the tensioner. And maybe chain / chain houseing if its damaged. Mechanic Nic E

Timing chain

All Saturn 4 cylinder engines have an internal timing chain. All Saturn V6 engines have a timing belt.

how to adjust the timing chain on a 1988 kz 305

The V6 Saturn used a timing belt. The 4 cylinder's used a timing chain.

Timing chain as well as belt cannot be adjust. If the chain has got stretched you have to replace it.

Chain

The timing chain is self adjusting.

All of the Saturn 4 cylinder engines used a timing chain. The V6 Saturn's used a timing belt.

The engine in the Polaris Sportsman 500 is self adjusting. There is no need to adjust the timing chain on the Sportsman 500. If you are hearing the chain slap, it is time to replace the chain, not adjust it.

A chain adjuster is a device to adjust the chain tension on a motorcycle.

It has a timing chain.

timing CHAIN

All Saturn Ions use Ecotec engines, which use a timing chain.

In a 2007 Saturn VUE : The 2.2 liter four cylinder has a timing CHAIN The 3.5 liter V6 has a timing BELT

The 4 cylinder Saturn engines used an "Oil bath" timing chain. The V6 Saturn engines used an "external" timing belt.

All of the 4 cylinder Saturn vehicles used a timing chain. Only the V6 Saturn's used a timing belt.

you don't adjust, you replace

The DOHC SL2 has a timing chain.

My mechanic told me that the Aura has a timing chain.

No. It has a timing chain.

Timing chain diagram or how to set it

On a 2005 Saturn Vue : The 2.2 liter four cylinder engine has a timing CHAIN , and the 3.5 liter V6 engine has a timing BELT

It must have a timing CHAIN because Gates ( they make timing belts etc. ) doesn't list a timing belt for the 1999 Saturn 1.9 L

Yes, in fact all Saturn ION's have timing chains

The V6 uses a timing belt. The 4 cylinder uses a timing chain.

All 1991-2002 Saturn S-series cars have a timing chain. The Ecotec 2.2 and 2.4 L engines also have a chain. BUT!!! The V6 engines all have timing BELTS.

u dont adjust the timing chain tensioner if there is slop or play in chain, u need to replace the chain . good idea to replace timing gears at same time while engine is pulled apart

The Saturn sl2 does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain. And under most conditions it does not need replacing.

The cam chain tension on a 1996 Saturn SL1 cannot be reset from outside of the motor. It will have to be accessed inside the motor. It is also a good idea to check and make sure it is not simply a broken timing guide.

chain 97 Saturn sc2 has a timing chain,its a pain to change though because there is not much clearance....but it can be done!

Never. The Saturn S series vehicles used a timing chain instead of a timing belt. And the chain is inside the engine, bathed in oil to keep it lubricated. The timing chain should be replaced whenever you rebuild the engine.

You are correct that the SL2 uses a timing chain. However, since it uses a timing chain it does not need to be replaced as does the timing BELT. In general, a timing chain should last the life of the engine.

The 2.2 liter - 4 cylinder - in a 2003 Saturn VUE must have a timing CHAIN because Gates ( they make timing belts etc. ) doesn't list a timing belt

Removal of the timing chain cover, timing chain, and head are needed

The 2004 Saturn Vue 2.2L Engine Uses a Timing CHAIN. It is Much better than a belt, and for 2004, Saturn fixed the issue with poor oil pressure on the timing chain and they last much longer than their predecessors.

Depends on miles on the engine - I traded in a 95 SL1 with 206,000 miles with the original timing chain still on the engine. My impression is that under normal circumstances, you should get at least 175,000 miles on a Saturn timing chain.

The timing chain on your Saturn is located on the left side of the engine as you are looking at it from the front of the car. If you are ambitious and mechanically inclined, the timing chain is fairly simple to do. It does however require some time and effort to gain access. I suggest that the timing chain be purchase from Saturn because they have an upgrade kit for the oil pump to help…

Yes, it uses an internal timing "CHAIN", not a belt. The timing chain should last until the engine needs to be rebuilt.

It does not work because it has a timing chain instead.

All of the 4 cylinder Saturns used a timing chain. The V6 engines used a timing belt.

it has a timing chain, which should be towards the bottom of the engine, and it has a drive belt, which is external and in the front.

$0.00 It has a chain and NOT a belt.
