Alex that engine is not in my Gates book, it is not a belt engine?

No, it wouldn't be as it uses a chain.

Ian

yes supposedly not even sure this shop i have been dealing with is lying and cheating me right and left. i heard this engine is non-interference and wouldnt have bent the valves. the shop said $1200 to fix it after doing $600 unauthorized work supposedly on timing chain. but i took it to another shop and he says he doesnt think it is bent valve to good of compression, and runs to good on road.

Then explain to me when my timing chain slipped on my 96 S10 2.2 that i
bent all 8 valves? Chain did not break. tensioner plastic broke
off and stuck in the sprocket. chain jumped timing. I thought it was
not an interference motor too and replaced the chain and tensioner
only to find i had little compression. Took the head off to a machine
shop where they found all eight valves bent. 8 new valves and some
head work and its back running. Word to the wise if you own a 2.2:
If you hear a rattling sound in the front of the motor, it may NOT
be your belt tensioner and it may be your TIMING CHAIN
tensioner. Save yourself some grief and have it replaced before
you get stuck somewhere with a dead motor. I waited too long and paid
the price

Sorry, I didn't phrase my statement well. I meant that the 2.2
wouldn't "be in the Gates book" as it uses a chain, not a belt.

No need to be sorry, you help a lot of people here.
You also suggested to me to use OEM 2.2 tensioner on this repair,
which i did. I just wish i would have had a clue the rattling noise
was the tensioner before mine broke and chain slipped and caused
all the damage.

Ian wasn't saying that chains never jump time. He was saying that you
won't find information on chain-timed engines in a Gates TIMING BELT
information book!
