I have a 98 chevy s-10 pickup with 2.2L 88,000 miles and i'm getting ready to replace the timing chain for the 4th time!
Seems to be that the chain tensioner is what breaks and then spools the chain. You will hear a rattle that sounds like a diesel for a while before it breaks. When you rev the Engine it stops the noise but comes right back at idol
I have bought the timing chains from NAPA, AUTOZONE, SPEEDWAY AUTO PARTS and its the same chain manufacturer
Any ideas as to why I have been through so many chains. Is this a factory design problem or what?

I have a 96 with 221k - never had the cover off. However, I had similar issue with 94 grand am 4cyl - replaced chain, gears, tensioner, etc @ 80k with NAPA. Had to do it again at 140k. Engine siezed at 181k. When I do my Sonoma, it will be GM parts.
