2.2 Same As Cavalier And Sunfire?

[natebeets]

Looking into buying an S10 cheap cheap cause the engine does not run. I suspect timing chain and possible bent valves. I've checked auto wreckers online and they all show the sunfire and cavalier 2.2 cylinder head fitting the S10, is this true? The engine looks different, probably just because its setup for RWD as opposed to the FWD setup for the cavalier and sunfire.

 

I'm assuming the timing chain and head are easy jobs on this due to all the extra room in the engine bay. Give me you experiences please

I have a 1993 Olds Ciera with the 2.2L engine, and I replaced the head on it about 5 years ago. At that time, I recall that the gasket set for the passenger car and truck were different, and the head itself as well, one of them had an "S" after the part number cast into the head.....different, yes, interchangeable, not sure...do more research before you buy.
