barthel Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 The 2.4L had a timing chain instead of a belt IIRC. I had an '86 harbody for while with the 2.4 engine, it had a chain with a plastic sprocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yep, the 2.4's have a chain and the guides wearing out are a known problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
