Remove accessories, balancer with a puller, front timing cover. Align 2 dots on cam/crank gear-crank at 12/cam at 6. Remove cam gear (3 bolts) Slip new chain over both gears, reinstall cam gear with dots aligned. The only truly tough part of the job is getting a good seal on the cover all the way around. the critical junction is where it meets the oil pan.
If it leaks after, you will need new gaskets & have to pull balancer again to fix. Make sure cover flange nice & flat all the way around or pound it out or use aftermarket. Don't overdo the torque since metal is thin & use a sealer, get your specs & go in sequence. Get some tips from experienced builders re:timing cover for your engine.
The only specialized tools-balancer puller, balancer installer or impact wrench & a huge socket that fits balancer bolt to turn the engine to align the dots.

Created by 57 trimToyota Cavalier is nothing more or less as a regular Chevy Cavalier so you should follow proper timing instructions to set it for a 96 2.4L TC motor. The only reason it is Toyota is because in Japan it was sold by Toyota.To set timing on a 1996 2.4L TC motor, you take the whole timing housing plate off to expose the chain.Pop the chain guides and get the chain tensioner off.Now set the crank at TDC. The way you do this is the groove on the crank sprocket, align it with the grove on chain housing at 12 o'clock.The cams you are gonna set both at 6 o'clock.Cam sprockets have a hole below the cam bolts that are holding the sprocket to the cam and if you put a bolt through the sprocket it should secure itself into the chain housing fixing the cams at 6 o'clock to help you not to move them.After you got the crank at 12 and cams at 6, put a push pin through the side of the tensioner and push the tensioner in and you are gonna have to hold it in from coming out.Mount it on the housing and bolt it on, after that let off it and let it put tension on the chain, install the guides and the housing cover.There is your Toyota, Chevy timing.
