2.3L timing chain tensioner on a 2.4L??

Sunday, January 25, 2015 3:15 PM

Hi guys,

I just had my water pump replaced on my 97 Cavalier Z24. I took the mechanic all the parts for the job including the tensioner and guide. Half way through he called me saying the tensioner I took him was different. Long story short, my 97 Z24 had a tensioner from a 2.3L GM. I took the one that was on my car back to the auto parts store and exchanged it for the "correct" one.

Is it usual for that to happen? BTW I was only charged $150. for labor.

It is possible that the tensioner has been replaced before.

SO you bought a 2 piece tensioner, but the car had a 1 piece?

If so the 1 piece is better in my opinion.
