Yes, the 2.2-liter engine in the Chevy Cavalier is a non-interference engine. This means that in the event of a timing belt failure, the engine's pistons and valves will not collide, preventing potential damage. However, it’s still important to maintain the timing components to avoid any engine performance issues.
The 98 Cavalier 2.4 is a NON interference engine.
I read that the 96 cavalier is a non interference engine. Best bet is to call a Chevy dealer or autozone might know. Toyota corollas are non interferance engines. Fords with a sohc 2.0 engine are non interferance. Hondas are interference so are Mitsubishi engines, I learned this the hard way.
Interference engine.
nope
The 2005 Chevy Cavalier is equipped with the 2.2L Ecotec engine, which is a non-interference engine. This means that if the timing belt were to fail, the pistons would not collide with the valves, preventing significant engine damage. Therefore, while it’s still important to maintain the timing components, a failure won't result in catastrophic consequences for the engine.
No.
NO it is an interference motor 180,000 broke timing chain, bent #3 exhaust valve, luckily it must have stopped quickly as no more were bent.
if by zero tolerance you mean that if the timing goes the valves will get bent then yes it is ^ that is wrong Non Interference is that term and your engine IS NON INTERFERENCE !!
This web site should be called "Questions.com" because there never seems to be any answers.
That engine is pushrod, it is the GM 3100 if I'm not mistaken. What are symptoms because bent valves are unlikely.
Noninterference engine.
should be non interference
