To change the timing belt on a 1999 Chevy Metro 3-cylinder, first disconnect the battery and remove the serpentine belt. Then, remove the timing belt cover to access the timing belt. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft, loosen the tensioner, and remove the old belt. Install the new timing belt by ensuring proper alignment, tighten the tensioner, reattach the timing cover, and reconnect the battery. Always consult a repair manual for specific torque specifications and detailed procedures.

To align the timing belt on a Chevy Metro, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Remove the timing belt cover and align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys according to the specifications in the owner's manual. Once aligned, gently place the timing belt onto the pulleys, ensuring it is tight but not overly stretched, and reassemble the components. Always double-check the alignment before reassembling everything to avoid engine damage.
Remove the timing belt cover. There should be a pully that will ratched in and out to tighten and loosen the belt.
No, the 3-cylinder Geo Metro engine is not an interference design engine. This means that in the event of a timing belt failure, the pistons and valves will not collide, preventing potential engine damage. This design characteristic makes the Geo Metro's engine more forgiving in terms of maintenance and timing belt replacement.

On a 1994 Geo Metro, the cam seal is located at the front of the engine, specifically on the cylinder head, where the camshaft exits the head. It helps to prevent oil leakage from the engine. To access the cam seal, you may need to remove the timing belt cover and possibly the timing belt itself, depending on the specific engine configuration.
