Are the cam sprocket/gears the same between the 2.0 and 2.2? The "key" where you bolt it in to the cam stripped, and i need to get a new gear. A local member has a spare set off of a 2.2l that he was going to give me but i'm not sure if they are the same or not.

Anybody?

 

How the hell did you strip that?

and no they are different

 

long story...i had the timing chain on and the timing case, and went to put the crank bolt in to hold the belt pulley at the bottom of the motor, and when i was torquing it the chain moved a little... well it turned the cam gears because I forgot to TORQUE THEM WHEN I WAS DONE! the intake gear was ok, it was just the exhaust gear that got f'd...

I kept them snug because they are tq to yield and once you torque them you can't go back, so i wanted to make sure everything else was perfect before i tq'd them.....whew... lol....

 

You coulda have put some tq, they call for 80+ftlbs!!!

 

check gm parts direct as far as the part goes, but i do believe they are the same

 

they are the same.

 

well if they are the same then i'll just use the one that i can get from my buddy. I won't bother ordering one then.
