Need to see diagram for a chev cavalier 2.2 timming chain

which engine, there are like 6 engines used world wide.
and country , this is a USA CALIF forum so if you live in
say japan and ask us, you get wrong answers, see why?
here is the list of engines used in Gen 2 cars
1.2 L I4 (petrol)
1.3 L M13A I4 (petrol)
1.5 L M15A I4 (petrol)
1.6 L M16A I4 (petrol)
1.3 L I4 (diesel) It was produced in Hungary, India, Japan, Pakistan and by Chang'an Motors in China.

some even have FIAT engines, so...... what engine do you have.

timming chain is open.

no chance from this one try a direct question to DJtech as i think he has access to this sort stuff but iam in europe so no chance sorry

The cavalier came with 2 different engines. Below is a diagram with instuctions for the most common engine for your vehicle (the 2.2 liter). Hope this helps and good luck.

It has a chain. Or it actually has two chains. One is for the cam, and is the timing chain. And the other chain goes to the balance shaft. Many parts suppliers offer timing kits with the chain, and tensioners. These allow you to change all the necessary parts if you need to do a timing chain replacement.

Timing Chain and Gears REMOVAL & INSTALLATION 2.2L Engine Fig. 1: The timing marks on the sprockets should be in alignment. If not, turn the crankshaft until the marks are aligned
Fig. 2: The timing chain tensioner is retained by a Torx head bolt (1) and a regular hex head bolt (2)
Fig. 3: Unfasten the camshaft sprocket bolt
Fig. 4: Remove the camshaft sprocket and the timing chain at the same time . . .
Fig. 5: . . . then remove the tensioner assembly
Fig. 6: Compress the tensioner spring and insert a cotter pin or nail in the hole provided to hold the tensioner in position

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the front cover as previously detailed.
3. Place the No. 1 piston at TDC of the compression stroke so that the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets are in alignment (see illustration).
4. Loosen the timing chain tensioner nut as far as possible without actually removing it.
5. Remove the camshaft sprocket bolts and remove the sprocket and chain together. If the sprocket does not slide from the camshaft easily, a light blow with a soft mallet at the lower edge of the sprocket will dislodge it.
6. Using a suitable gear puller, remove the crankshaft sprocket. To install:
   
7. Press the crankshaft sprocket back onto the crankshaft.
8. Install the timing chain over the camshaft sprocket and then around the crankshaft sprocket. Make sure that the marks on the two sprockets are in alignment (see illustration). Lubricate the thrust surface with Molykote® or its equivalent.
9. Align the dowel in the camshaft with the dowel hole in the sprocket and then install the sprocket onto the camshaft. Use the mounting bolts to draw the sprocket onto the camshaft and then tighten to 66-68 ft. lbs. (91-95 Nm).
10. Lubricate the timing chain with clean engine oil. Tighten the chain tensioner.
11. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. Fig. 7: Exploded view of the timing chain and sprockets - 2.2L OHV engine
    

Just the guide is probably making the noise. So either a new guide or a new chain. I would start with guide first, unless chain looks loose or cruddy

What did you check as far as timing chain etc goes? Did you confirm all sprockets are aligned properly & crank, cams etc turning as they should?

usually the dia. is under hood or on top of plastic at rad area

Hi, your timing belt is out of timing ,just be sure to aling the marks prrfectly ,you can get the diagram at any auto parts or go to your public library and look for a chilton repair book ..GoodLuck
