Does the 2.2l engine used in the 1998/99 Chevy Cavalier have a timing belt or a chain? I'm pretty sure it's a chain, but I just want to make sure.
Dumb question, but...

It is a chain.
Generally, only over head cam motors will have either a belt or chain.

?? Plenty of pushrod V8's have chains. The only motor I know of with factory gears is the 300 I6 from Ford.
What?I think you misunderstood what I stated. What I was trying to say is if its pushrod it will usually have a chain, if its OHC it will usually be a chain or belt. There are other methods of getting movement to the cam, these are just generalizations.
For example, The Ford GAA WWII tank motor has shaft driven dual over head cams.

For a little trivia quiz, does anybody know which recent high production Japanese motorcycle used a gear-driven timing set?
What makes you think your question is dumb?
ONLY dumb question is the one unasked.

The old Chevy Stove Bolt Six (194-292 Cubic Inch) had the

^^^ I had a 250 six in an old 1974 Chevy p/u. Good motor. Another is the 2.5 4-Tech Chevy.
