Disconnect and remove the battery, air cleaner and remove as much peripheral hardware as you can. Disconnect the exhaust manifold from the headpipe. Disconnect fuel lines, electrical connections (tag all electrical wiring to make certain that you can put them back where they belong) and the hydraulic Power Steering lines. Remove the bell housing dust cover (between the engine and transaxle) and disconnect the torque converter from the flex plate. disconnect the motor mounts while supporting the engine with an engine lift. FINALLY, disconnect the engine from the bell housing by removing the bolts that hold the two together.
CAREFULLY lift the engine while watching to make certain that you haven't missed something.
It all sounds a lot easier than it really is.
If you haven't done this before it's often good to invite an experienced mechanic to help you.
a 1999 has a 1.9l Dohc
yes, all the Saturn DOHC motors are interference engines.
1.9L SOHC in the SL1, The SL2 has a 1.9L DOHC. I Get 38mpg from mine.
The DOHC SL2 has a timing chain.
I have a 96 SL2, but im prty sure that they are the same. You should have the: 1.9L DOHC
.040
I would think they would. SL1 vs SL2 I thought was SOHC vs DOHC for an engine.
It's .040
As long as it comes from the DOHC engine..they will all fit, I just did mine Lemme guess..blew a hole in the side of the tranny bro? As long as it comes from the DOHC engine..they will all fit, I just did mine Lemme guess..blew a hole in the side of the tranny bro?
A Saturn SL -- and every S-series Saturn -- has a 1.9 liter 4 cylinder engine. The SC2, SL2, and SW2 have a DOHC (dual overhead cam) engine; the SC1, SL, SL1, and SW1 have a SOHC (single overhead cam) engine.
An SL2 is the higher model of the SL cars. Therefore it has the more powerful DOHC engine.
