If you are replacing a DOHC 1998 engine with another DOHC 1998 engine yes it will work. Saturn only made two engines from 91-99 and they all had the same block, difference some were SOHC and others were DOHC. The number "1" after SL or SC or SW means SOHC while the number "2" after SC or SL or SW means a DOHC.

Note if one is an auto and the other manual you are going to have to swap the flywheel/ring gear stuff over.

    Need to note that NOT all Saturn DOHC Motors are the same!

  • wam762 May 10, 2014

    In 1998 the Head design for the Saturn DOHC motor is narrower with different lifters and Timing Chain. If you replace a 1998 DOHC make sure it is from 1998 to 2002! Also just for reference the 1991 and 1992 DOHC front covers are also different! The motor mounts changed from 91 to 92 and added a upper mount on the cover for 92!

Trying to locate engine number to determine 16 0r 32 cam

Unfortunately, your question is very vague and hard to understand.

16 or 32 cam?
Usually your engine will have twin cams, or single cam.
Overhead cam(s) or not. You could determine if your engine
is a 4 or a 6 cylinder, and then you will generally find out how
many valves the engine has.

If you are in a 4 cylinder car, you probably have 16 valves if you have a twin cam engine.
If you have a single cam, 4 cylinder engine, then you will usually have only 8 valves.

The only way that you could end up with 32 valves, is if you have a dual overhead cam, v-6 engine.
Each head will have two cams, and each cylinder will have 4 valves then.

I hope that this is what you were trying to ask. :)

What type of engine do I have in my 1998 Saturn SL1?

My S belt snapped on my 2000 Saturn SL2, and the engine immediately over-heated, and something cracked, causing radiator fluid to leak everywhere. I was told by a friend that it's part of the heating...

282420f.jpeg Does your engine look similar to this. IF you're referring to the wording on the cover, this is the valve cover. This is the only piece i'm thinking that has this. But this should not leak radiator fluid to leak. With the car overheating and something cracking, it could be the radiator busted or the head/block could be cracked. Try to fill the radiator up and see if it starts leaking. I'm just wondering if your water pump locked down or any of the other pulley's causing the belt to snap. If you would like send a picture to me at [email protected] of the part and I can better help you.

My 98 saturn sl2 is very hard on reverse. if the engine just started, it reverse slightly. but as the engine gets warm the reverse is not working. help please.

could be 3 things
if you have reverse but a bad delay into reverse it could be a loose input shaft nut in the trans,and or a bad valve body
if you have no reverse you got a torn seal in the trans but if you have a torn seal you will have no second gear as well as they share this seal,,,i would take it to the saturn dealer as trans shop have no idea how to fix these,like cottman and them have no idea,,take it to saturn
