timing for spark plug wires for saturn sl1 1996
The cam chain tension on a 1996 Saturn SL1 cannot be reset from outside of the motor. It will have to be accessed inside the motor. It is also a good idea to check and make sure it is not simply a broken timing guide.
how do you line up timing chain on a 1993 sl1
Depends on miles on the engine - I traded in a 95 SL1 with 206,000 miles with the original timing chain still on the engine. My impression is that under normal circumstances, you should get at least 175,000 miles on a Saturn timing chain.
I believe you need to replace a timing belt. Cause it uses timing chain which doesn't required to change as timing belt.
Yes. The timing chain is INSIDE the engine and is constantly bathed in oil. Under normal conditions it should last as long as the rest of the engine.
Nope. However the timing chain cover must come off in order for the chain to come off the cam shafts
