Yes, you could. Is it a good idea? Probably not. If the tensioner is worn so must be the chain.
Not likely. Most timing chains never wear out, and on most engines you do not have to touch the chain to remove the cylinder head.
Yes usaually every 60 to 100000kms.
The 2003 2.5 CRD Jeep Cherokee has a cam belt not a chain
Timing chains are designed to last the life of an engine. They are normally replaced during a complete engine overhaul.
That particular model does not have a chain,, it has a belt. and it needs to be changed at 60k or it will BREAK!
You can replace a timing chain on a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire by visiting a local mechanic and having him take care of it for you. This is a tricky part to change yourself.
timing chain
In a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire : Both the 2.2 and the 2.3 litre four cylinder engines have a timing CHAIN
To adjust the timing chain on a Pontiac Sunfire 2.2, first ensure the engine is off and cool. Remove the timing chain cover to access the timing chain and gears. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets to the specified positions, and if necessary, replace the tensioner or adjust it to ensure proper tension. Reassemble the cover and ensure all components are securely fastened before starting the engine.
It must have a TIMING CHAIN because Gates ( they make timing belts etc . ) does not list a timing belt for the 2.2 liter or 2.4 liter engines in a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire
I just found out that it has a timing chain because mine is being replaced.
I looked for an answer to this question in my Haynes manual and found nothing about how often to change the timing chain. It DOES, however, to into great detail about how to do it. FriPilot simply because they dont have a timing chain on the 2.2 ecotech
No, it has a cam chain.
The 2005 Pontiac Sunfire is equipped with a timing chain, not a timing belt. Timing chains generally have a longer lifespan than timing belts and typically do not require regular replacement. However, it's still important to maintain the engine and ensure that the chain and its components are in good condition.
Well it could be that your timing might be off if it didnt backfire before,i would get the timing checked or go back to where you got it done.
normally you shouldn't have to replace a timing chain unless you've been horsebeating your vehicle
All 2002 Sunfires, 2.2 and 2.4, had timing chains
