You have to pull everything out of the way that is in front of the engine, including the water pump and harmonic balancer. After all of that is removed, there is a cover over the front of the engine. Pull that and you should see the timing gears on the cam and crankshafts.
no the gear stays in place , unless you take the timing gear cover off + the bolts that hold it to the cam shaft.no it won't change the position either unless you crank the engine, the gear stays in place.
Put #1 piston up then take off the timing chain cover off and make sure that the time crank marking are lined up
you have to take off the timing chain cover and replace the seal in the timing chain cover as welll youll need the oil pan seal
You will see a key in the crank. Turn the crank until #1 piston is all the way up in the cylinder. You will see that the key in the crank will be stright up. and when you put the crank gear ( SMALL GEAR ) on, The dot on it will be stright up. Now the cam gear ( BIG GEAR ) bolt it on the cam, and find the dot on it. leave chain off for now. Then take and turn the cam gear until the dot is stright down over top of the crank gear dot. It will be hard to turn, but turn it with something. Now remove the cam gear and put chain and gear back on. Tighten all 3 bolts TIGHT on the cam gear. Now check the 2 dots, They should be stright over top of each other in a stright line. THATS IT. Put it all back together now.
I don't know how much you know about the subject so I will start at the beginning. First you have to get to it, you can pull the motor or leave it in the vehicle. Its a little harder with it in depending on the space you have in engine compartment. If your leaving the motor in, which I imagine you are, your going to have to take the front end of the vehicle apart. Remove the grill, bumper if need be, radiator, fan, water pump, harmonic balancer, you will need to buy a puller and a installer for the harmonic balancer. You can get a puller kit from harbor frieght tools for $10. You can buy the installer from summit raceing (web site) for arround $30 or you can buy one that will do both the install and removal from summit for $70. Once you have removed your harmonic balancer you can remove your timing cover to expose your timing chain. Turn the motor using a socket wrench until the timing marks on the crank gear and cam gear line up. The marks are usually just white dots, you want the crank mark to be up towards the cam and the cam mark towards the crank, the marks will be up and down from each other. Once you have the marks lined up remove the bolts holding the timing chain to the cam and crank. Remove the timing chain as a whole unit with the cam and crank gear still on it. If the crank gear doesnt want to come loose use your puller on it. when you get it off just put your new gear on and line up the timing marks then put it back on as one unit. If you cant get the crank gear on all the way by hand buy a crank install tool (summit) they run about $24. While you have the thing apart it would be a good Idea to put a new timing chain on. Depending on your vehicle this would also be a good time to change your cam if need be. Its not that hard to do it just takes a while, take your time and don't force anything.

on the cam there is a little dot that is machined in the cam gear. make sure that it is at top dead center( remember that the motor sits at a slight angle so it wont look like the very top by looking strait at it. you will have to take the crank pully off to see the mark on the crank gear. the mark is an indentation on the back of the pully. line that up with the little arrow next to the gear. after that is set put the belt on making sure that you don't move the gears. put your pully back on and use a timing light to set the timing at two degrees top side by looking at the marks on the timing belt cover next to the crank pully.
I think you have to take out the back seat first, but, then that panel, with the window crank, (or where it would be, if you have a post model) comes out, exposing all the gear.
If it is like the older 4cyl motors, you would need to take off the timing belt which drives it...not that small of a job The Cavalier 2.4L DOHC does not have a timing belt. It has a timing chain that circles inside that flat cover on the passenger side of the engine. It goes around the crankshaft gear,water pump gear,exaust gear,intake gear, in that order. Its not hard if you know how to do it,BUT you MUST know how to do it. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR MISTAKES... So ask people and study.
fist u have too move timing belt cover than mark the timing and remove the timing belt after that u can take out a crank pully out (makesouer timing mark is right)
that year did not take one
It will take an experience mechanic approximately 8 hours to replace the timing belt in your 1992 Chevy Corsica. The 1992 Chevy Corsica does not have each timing chain, it has a timing belt.
i need a diagram for my 95 Chevy beretta for the 2.2L engine. I'm tryin to replace the timing chain, and i need to know what to take off and what not to take off
