When a timing chain breaks on a 2002 Chevy Tracker, it can lead to severe engine damage, as the engine's pistons and valves may collide, causing bent valves or damaged pistons. This can result in a complete engine failure, requiring extensive repairs or an engine replacement. Additionally, the vehicle will likely stop running immediately, and it may not start again until the damage is addressed. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent timing chain failure.

How do you set timing on 2001 Chevy Tracker?

To set the timing on a 2001 Chevy Tracker, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Then, locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover. Adjust the distributor to align the timing mark with the appropriate degree mark on the timing cover, typically around 0 degrees for base timing. Finally, tighten the distributor hold-down bolt and recheck the timing with a timing light to ensure it's set correctly.


Is Chevy's 350 cubic inch engine freewheeling?

As I understand it, a freewheeling engine, such as the 2.3 liter Ford is an overhead cam engine that will not crash the valves if the timing belt breaks. A 350 Chevy uses a timing chain since the cam is in the block. If the timing chain breaks on that, you're out of luck.
