Bought a Chevy cobalt used and noticed that it had a loud rattling noise. Opened it up and saw broken guides and started working on replacing the chain and guides but I noticed that with the kit I bought the sprockets don't look the same? Just wanted input on it and I also made sure it was very...

bbbHello everyone. I'm here due to issues with my wife's 2010 Cobalt Lt with the 2.2l Ecotech engine. She recently had the timing chain snap and is VERY insistent that I get her car back on the road for her. I have all the parts to fix it, including a rebuilt head. Didn't see any damage to...

What would cause the small rollers to break like this? 2008 LS with 30k since last time I rebuilt the engine to include replacing the chains. I don't remember the brand.

'07 cobalt LS 2.2 L ecotec; 70K miles Car had chain noise on startup, so I decided to replace the tensioner. This was straightforward, until I took the old one out. It had come apart, and when the housing and spring were removed, the piston appears to have fallen. From what I've seen of this...

Hey, Just replaced my waterpump after finding it damaged and now I am having a problem with overflow in the surge tank after running the engine at 2500rpm for about 3 mins. It doesnt look like the engines is overheating though. Its not a head gasket problem. After removing the heater core...

Just when I thought I had my cobalt sorted it starts making weird noises. Video link below. The noise seems to come from the timing chain area. I replaced the timing chain/guides/tensioner 12k miles ago, the car's at 127k now. I just took off the valve cover, there's no slack on the timing...

I own a 2006 Cobalt LS with 70,000 miles of northern New York driving (Snow and salt). I have a front driver side wheel bearing going bad. My shocks are all in need of replacement too, and I though I might as well do the timing chain while the car is on jacks. The u joint on the intermediate...
