very hard! I just finished retapping the cam housing bolt holes in my 2000 sunfire. but had to remove the timing chain to get the cam cover and housing off. to get the timing chain off, you have to remove the motor mount bracket off first, then remove the timing cover before getting to the chain. no room to get the bracket bolts off without some assistance to pry the engine to the opposite side.
You can replace a timing chain on a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire by visiting a local mechanic and having him take care of it for you. This is a tricky part to change yourself.
normally you shouldn't have to replace a timing chain unless you've been horsebeating your vehicle
In a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire : Both the 2.2 and the 2.3 litre four cylinder engines have a timing CHAIN
No, it has a cam chain.
It must have a TIMING CHAIN because Gates ( they make timing belts etc . ) does not list a timing belt for the 2.2 liter or 2.4 liter engines in a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire
show me the timing marks 2004 pontiac 2.2 dohc
I just found out that it has a timing chain because mine is being replaced.
if its a chain^
All 2002 Sunfires, 2.2 and 2.4, had timing chains
This is a pretty big job. I'd suggest buying a Haynes or Chilton manual for your car and following their procedures.
You can check the big box parts house's websites for competitive prices.
According to my Haynes shop manual, it is a chain. FriPilot
