I have a 04 sunfire I was wondering what I should all change while I'm in their and what special tools that I mihht need to successfully complete the install last year I did the whole set up on my 98z24 which was pretty easy minus putting the water pump in.
ft/lbs and In/lbs torque wrench, a socket for the tensioner (I forget what size it is but I use an 1-1/8 or 1-1/4 IIRC)and threadlocker. Other than that basic hand tools work well.
Also a torque angle gauge..
Another good question for other readers would at what point do you change the timing chain for good preventive measure.For example , my engine has 220,000km or 132,000 miles on it .?
