What year did Geo stop making 3 cylinders?

Geo (a subsidiary of GM/Chevrolet) began production of numerous vehicles in 1988. The 3-cylinder in question was developed by Suzuki and used in the Chevrolet Sprint, Pontiac Firefly, Suzuki Swift, and Geo Metro. Geo itself lived for ten years being swallowed by corporate GM in 1998. The Metro lived on as the Chevrolet Metro for two more years with the 3-cylinder 1.0L engine only available in the base hatchback - the sedan with the 1.3L 4-cylinder engine survived into 2001 as a fleet-sales only vehicle. So, year 2000 would basically be your answer.

Will a broken timing belt cause engine damage on 1999 geo tracker 4 cylinders?

In short, yes. The timing belt turn the cam-shaft which controls the timing of the opening and closing of the valves in the cylinder head. When a timing belt/chain breaks (usually at high RPM) valves can remain open where they can come in contact with the pistons and be bent by the pistons that are still moving with great force at high speed. Simply replacing the timing belt will not fix the engine if the valves are bent. You can get the valve train re-machined, but an easier (though not cheap) fix is to replace the whole cylinder head.

How do you adjust the parking brake on a 93 Geo Prism?

Assuming the parking brake is a similar style to that on my 1995 Prizm, this is a very easy fix. Start by removing the center shrowd which surrounds the parking brake. There will be screws holding it in place on either side in the front, as well as underneath the carpet in the little storage area. Once all fasteners are out, with the help of a screwdriver you can pry this shrowd off. The brake handle attatches to the end of a wire with two nuts: the bottom one adjusts the brake (right/tight, left/loose) and the nut on top locks the lower one in place. After fidgiting with it for a few minutes, you should be able to figure out how tight to make it and be able to reassemble the cover.

How do you remove a seized tire from a car?

I've had a problem where the rim becomes stuck to the disk (or drum). Usually a kick on one side of the rim breaks it loose. A whack with a rubber mallet works too.

For a particularly tough case, a propane torch can be used to heat the rim. The expansion of the metal should cause it to break free.

Rocker arm torque specs for a 1995 geo metro 1.3Lit?

about 150 INCH/pounds.... Or 12 ft/lbs torque.... not very much just snug them all up little by little..... then tighten each one a bit more with regular ratchet wrench starting in the middle and working out to both ends. final torque is 12 ft/lbs... reinstall valve cover. Now the important part. You must wait about a half hour before you start the car... If you don't you may shove a valve right down onto a piston.... The lifters need time to settle.
