Want this question answered?
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.
The engine code is either 7 (double overhead cam) or 8 single overhead cam. The single overhead cams have black bumpers the doubles are painteds ( easiest way to tell or the 8 digit of the VIN
Yes, the SL1 is a multi-port fuel injected engine with a single overhead cam.
A 1997 SC1 uses a single overhead cam, 4 cylinder engine.
First of all if it is an sl1 it is not a Dual overhead cam It is a single overhead cam Either engine only has 1 t-stat
Yes you can but you will have to swap out the wiring harness and the on board computer as well. Otherwise it just won`t start.
Single Overhead Valve Engine
The Saturn 4 cylinder engines were available in 2 styles, the single overhead cam and the dual overhead cam. In both engine types, the camshafts were always in the head, just under the top cover of the engine. If you remove the top cover (where you install the sparkplugs) you will see the camshaft(s).
The SL series came equiped with either a single overhead cam or a dual overhead cam engine. If yours has the single overhead cam, it's the SL1. If yours has the dual overhead cam, it's the SL2. Open the hood, look at the engine and see what's on the rocker cover; if it says DOHC or "Twin Cam", you are the proud owner of a SL2.
Yep.
NO.
The 1.9 L is a Single Overhead Cam engine. The optional 1.8 L is a Double Overhead Cam engine.
