I drive two sue other is a 99 brighton legacy wagonbarus!...one is a 93 loyale while the other is a 99 brighton legacy wagon.

 

Is the 99 legacy brighton (california emissions) 2.2L SOHC EJ22 an interference engine?

 

I need to know because yesterday I think a timing belt tensioer pulley failed. I am in the process of taking it apart for diagnosis but noy sure if it is an interference motor or not? Also, the crank pully has no spokes so Iam trying to remove the pully with out changing the position of the # 1 cylinder.

 

Any one have any thoughts on this?

yes, your is interference. all 2.2s after 96 are interference.

 

if the belt broke when the engine was running, or even when it was trying to start, the damage is done, if any. rotating the engine while trying to remove the crank pulley is not going to do any more damage.

the timing belt is intact. as i just now discovered. so what next? I think it is a tensioner pulley that has failed. how do i take the crank pully off?

I have a EJ25, the crank pulley was a really tight fit as were all the cam pulleys. I found they all came off pretty easily by grasping the pulley with 2 fingers on back of the pulley and thumb on the front. Use both hands placed 180 deg apart on the pulley, then pull forward while using a rocking motion at the same time. They were all solidly on there but all came off using the same method quite easily.
