Hey all, just bought a used 2001 Cavalier Z24 with a 2.4 L Twin Cam
engine and 133, 000km. I have done some research and have found that it
has a timing chain. I don't have the manual for the car unfortunately,
and was wondering if I should replace the timing chain before driving
it on a regular basis.
Thanks,
   Matthew

That chain is a real sonuvabitch to replace on that motor...I'd drive
it till it breaks....I don't think it should need it yet...
