the pointer has its on mounting spot on the front of the block when you bolt it on the pointer will be set
yes the motor mount and balancer have to come off along with the timing cover and belt not and amitures job
The water pump is located on the driver side, rear of the engine. It is driven by the timing belt, and is therefore a major project to swap one, and is beyond the scope of many shadetree mechanics. It involves removal of an engine mount, the timing and balancer belts, the harmonic balancer, etc. Consult a factory service manual.
remove top engine mount and cut off metal lug that stops engine from lowering enough to remove harmonic balancer. Then engine lowers enough.
first check engine timing this is a major cause of vibration in a stationary vehicle, or non firing cylinder could be electrical or mechanical, then harmonic balancer, then look for broken engine mount.
The water pump is difficult to access on this car. It's driven by the timing belt, which is located behind the timing belt cover, the pump is on the back side of the engine, near the firewall. It involves removing the driver's side engine mount, the harmonic balancer, the cover, etc.
Worn timing chain Incorrect oil pump (timing tab) The harmonic balancer has broken free on its rubber mount (twisted) The throttle positioner is out of adjustment. refer to tech manual for proper adjustment The terminals t to e1 have not been connected in the data link connector located beside fuse box by battery The distributor has not been installed correctly
you can do it by removing the balancer or by removing the water pump... its not easy either way
To change the timing chain on a 1996 Chevrolet Corsica, first, disconnect the battery and remove the engine covers and components obstructing access to the timing chain, such as the front engine mount and harmonic balancer. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft to ensure proper timing, then remove the old timing chain and replace it with the new one, ensuring correct tension and alignment. Finally, reassemble all components in reverse order, double-checking that everything is secure before reconnecting the battery and starting the engine. Always refer to a repair manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
You start by removing the air breather, then you remove the 8 nuts holding the top of the motor to the motor mount.Remove the motor mount..You will have to remove the radiator plastic fill bottle to get to the motor mount.Release the tension from the serpentine belt and remove it.You need to remove the harmonic balancer and the water punp pulley..This should allow you to remove the plastic covers from the front of the engine exposing the timing belt...

Raise the engine slightly to take the weight off of the side mount. Remove the side mount-to-engine bolts, the side mount-to-chassis bolts and the side mount. 9) Remove the dipstick and the dipstick tube-to-engine bolt; then, pull the tube from its O-ring mount. 10) Remove the cylinder head cover. 11) Remove the crankshaft pulley by performing the following procedure: Using the Holder Handle and the 50mm Offset Holder Attachment tool 07MAB-PY3010A and a 19mm socket, secure the crankshaft pulley and remove the crankshaft pulley bolt. Remove the washer and pull the crankshaft pulley from the engine. 12) From the lower timing belt cover, remove the rubber seal concealing the adjusting nut. 13) 13) Remove the upper timing belt cover-to-engine bolts and the cover. 14) Loosen the adjusting nut 2/3-1 turn. Push the tensioner to relieve the tension from the timing belt and the balancer belt; then, retighten the adjusting nut. 15) Remove the balancer and the timing belts. 16) Clean the upper and lower timing belt covers. 17) Remove the balancer belt drive pulley from the crankshaft. Position the timing belt pulley so the No. 1 piston is at TDC of its compression stroke. Align the mark on the pulley (near keyway) with the pointer mark on the oil pump. 18) Adjust the camshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is the TDC of the compression stroke. 19) Align the TDC marks on the pulley with the upper surface of the back cover and the "UP" mark should be facing upward. 20) Install the timing belt in the following sequence: Crankshaft pulley sprocket. Adjusting pulley. Water pump pulley. Camshaft pulley. 21) Loosen and retighten the adjusting nut to tension the timing belt. 22) Install the balancer belt drive pulley and the lower timing belt cover. 23) Install the crankshaft pulley and finger-tighten the bolt and washer. Using the Holder Handle and the 50mm Offset Holder Attachment tool 07MAB-PY3010A and a 19mm socket with a torque wrench, tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt to 181 ft. lbs. (245 Nm). 24) Rotate the crankshaft pulley about 5-6 turns counterclockwise to position the timing belt on the pulleys. 25) To adjust the timing belt tension, perform the following procedure: Make sure that the No. 1 piston is at TDC of its compression stroke. Loosen the adjusting nut 2/3-1 turn. Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise three teeth on the camshaft pulley. Tighten the adjusting nut to 33 ft. lbs. (44 Nm). 26) Re-tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt to181 ft. lbs. (245 Nm). 27) Make sure the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys are at TDC. 28) Remove the crankshaft pulley and the timing belt lower cover. 29) Install a 6 x 1.0mm bolt to lock the timing belt adjuster arm in place. 30) Loosen the adjusting nut 2/3-1 turn and verify that the balancer belt adjuster moves freely. 31) Position the tensioner to remove tension from the balancer belt, then tighten the adjusting nut. 32) Align the rear balancer shaft pulley by performing the following procedure: Using a 6 x 100mm bolt, scribe a line 2.9 in. (74mm) from the end of the bolt. Insert the bolt into the maintenance hole to the scribed line. Align the groove on the front balancer shaft pulley with the pointer on the oil pump housing. 33) Install the balancer belt. Loosen the adjuster nut 2/3-1 turn to place tension on the balancer belt. 34) Remove the 6 x 100mm bolt from the rear balancer shaft and install the 12mm sealing bolt. 35) Install the crankshaft pulley and tighten the bolt to 181 ft. lbs. (245 Nm). 36) Rotate the crankshaft pulley 1 turn counterclockwise and tighten the adjusting nut to 33 ft. lbs. (44 Nm). 37) Remove the 6 x 1.0mm bolt from the timing belt adjuster arm. 38) Remove the crankshaft pulley and install the lower timing belt cover. 39) Install the rubber seal over the adjusting nut. 40) Install the crankshaft pulley and tighten the bolt to 181 ft. lbs. (245 Nm). 41) To complete the installation, reverse the removal procedures. Adjust the tension of the drive belts.
Remove passenger side front wheel. Place a jack stand under the vehicle... don't rely on the jack to hold the vehicle up while you are working on it. Remove the side splash panel shield on the passenger side so you can get to the chank shaft balancer. Remove serpentine belt. If you have a front motor mount, you will have to remove the mount. To do this, support the engine with a jack and a large block of wood under the oil pan. Lift just enough to take the weight off of the motor mount. On the driver's side, remove the shield over the crank gear. You will need to insert a long screw driver holding the gear (and crank) in place while an assistant removes the center bolt from the crank balancer. Remove crank/balancer pulley. This is a large TIGHT nut in the center of the pulley. You'll need a breaker bar and an assistant while you hold the crank in place. You can now access the sensor which is bolted to the timing cover. To replace you need a special tool to align the sensor. If you do NOT have the tool, you must be VERY careful not to break the sensor when you reinstall the crankcase balancer. Center and align the censor making sure it does NOT touch the balancer.
There are many places where one would be able to purchase a Cantilever mount. One would be able to purchase a Cantilever mount from sites such as Amazon or eBay.
