2001 chevy cavalier 2.2L VIN-4 If chain broke or jumped: Remove timing chain cover(may help to remove two bottom studs on cover that pass threw oil pan use the two nuts on them as jam nuts on the studs). Put #1 cyl. t.d.c with crank. timing mark pointing @ center of the chain tensioner bracket. Remove cam shaft pulley remove chain, reinstall pulley(without chain) and turn cam shaft until cam shaft mark also points to center of tensioner bracket. (I removed valve cover to make sure the two push rods for #1 cyl. were relaxed (They turned with two fingers)Remove cam pulley again place new chain over crank gear while sliding cam pulley back on. Tighten cam pulley insure both gear marks still are aligned with bracket center.Connect battery Test run for 5 sec. with covers off.Disconnect battery when engine starts and sounds normal. Now put everything back together
