Replacing head on 97 Saturn SC2

The SL is the small 4 door
The SC is the 2 door Sport Coupe
The numbers refer to the engine. The all have a 1.9 liter. "1" is a Single Over Head Cam, 8th VIN will be an "8". "2" is the Dual Over Head Cam, 8th VIN will be a "7"

So a Saturn SL2 with be a 4 door with a DOHC 1.9 liter. SL1 will be a 4 door with a SOHC 1.9 liter. SC2 will be a 2 door with a 1.9 liter DOHC. SC1 will be a 2 door with a 1.9 liter SOHC.

Get a shop to look at this leak please, you are going to have a fire. You don't drive a car around with a gas leak, that is very foolish and not very safe to say the least.

check Answers.com they will tell you where it is faster than I can Good luck

look on ebay or call around to local junkyards and see if they have a 93 SC. If they have any go look and see if that part is still there..

make sure its full block dual over head cam (DOHC) it shoud fit. 97 to 99 its the same as far as i know. cause i replaced a 99 with a 97.

I had the same problem with a 97 sc2. The fix for my car was the temp sensor that controls the extra fuel when engine is cold it didn't sense that the engine was warmed up and added extra fuel flooding the engine.

Open the hood if it says efiohc or single cam on the valve cover then it is a sc1 if it says dohc or twin cam than it is an sc2
