And if the Pontiacs you were talking about, Bad99Olds, were the Sunbird, Fiero, and Astre, then you're on the right track.

Ahh, I see from that article that the SD4 is based on the same engine, but slightly different. Although not ALL of them had timing gears. A friend of mine has a grand am with a chain!

The Century could be had with a 2.5 up to '93, the 2.2 replaced it for 94-96. The new body style came out in '97 and all century models after that had the 3100 M or J depending on year. The V6 was optional in earlier models.
