Once you reach 100K you're running on or at the limit of life expectancy of the timing chain, chain tension-er, cam chain gear and crankshaft chain gear. All four should be replaced as a set. You will also need to replace timing cover gasket and the crankshaft front cover seal. Cost of parts < $75.00 but not an easy job.

Never as the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier does not have a belt, it has a chain that should last the life of the engine.
its a timing chain and as long as you dont have like over 200,000 miles its should be fine... its a timing chain and as long as you dont have like over 200,000 miles its should be fine...
The timing chain should last the life of the engine and not maintenance is normally required. It is replaced when the engine is rebuilt.
The 2.2 and the 2.4 both have timing chains
Unless there is something wrong with it (there shouldn't be), you should never have to replace the timing chain. That's the beauty of chevy.
can somebody help me get a diagram for a 2002 Chevy cavalier, i need the cam chain ( i need to change the timing chain) thank you
60000 miles
there is no timing belt. it is a timing chain and doesn't need replacement unless it is damaged.
It will cost you nothing because your Cavalier has a timing chain and not a belt. The chain is designed to last the life of the engine.
how do you change a timing chain on a 2003 Chevy cavalier echotech 2,2l
No belt. It has a chain.
