2.0 Timing Chain Problem at 61,000 Miles?
#61
Haynes has the 2.0 at 22 lb.ft. + 100 degrees.
They show 63 lb.ft. + 30 degrees for the 2.2 up through 2008, for the sprockets, because non-VVT.
Not that Haynes is the definitive.... They also show ft. lbs., so....

So, what's the verdict? 22 + 100 or 63 + 30? Are they equivalent? One close enough to the other? A curious mind (mine) needs to know since the last of the parts arrived this morning.

That's what I was thinking, and 63/30 is in my 2009 SS GM shop manual anyway. Maybe that's simply why the GM shop manual changed--for the service tech, an addition 30 degrees much easier to control than an additional 100 degrees, and GM decided to add the retention tool while they were at it.
So, 63/30 it is.
And who knows what was going on during production in 2008-2009 while this was taking place then and before...

Here we go again. Different 2.0 torque specs for crankshaft balancer bolt depending on what manual.
74 lb ft + 75 degrees or 74 lb ft + 125 degrees
That's quite a difference. I'd rather do +75 degrees. Maybe I should split the difference and torque to 74 lb ft + 100 degrees.
Recommendation?
