02 Cavalier, 2.2 SFI, timing chain questions
Monday, July 24, 2017 11:35 AM
Hi, fellas, hoping i can get some assistance/guidance/etc here.
Ive got a 2002 Cavalier, 2.2 engine, about 140K miles.
Was driving and heard the notorious rocks-in-a-can sound, guessing tensioner broke, then it died a few minutes later....probably pushing about 1400 rpm.
Any thoughts on the likelihood of the valves being bent? Hoping not, as it'd be much more wallet friendly to just do the chain/tensioner 4pc set, but some places are saying they're not down to work on it cuz potential bent valves. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
