02 Vectra 2.2 - Couple of questions please?

[Prof Prolapse]

Hi,

I've just inherited a 2002 SRi Vectra 2.2 for nothing.

Problem is it won't run, it sounds like the chain has jumped a cog and thrown the timing out. I have just checked and whilst I don't know exactly where the cam marks should be in relation to one another one is currently at 5 to 12 and the other at 2 o'clock. There's an oil leak somewhere on the rear nearside as well but this doesn't appear to be related.

So I've just a couple of questions if anyone can help...

1) Is the engine non-interference?

2) Does anybody know of a free workshop manual? OR a guide to changing the timing chain, tensioners etc? I'm informed timing chain problems are common on the engine but I've struggled to find a guidance online!

3) Any suggestions on what could be causing a leak on the rear right of the engine? The rocker cover gasket has recently been replaced and didn't appear to be the problem.

Thanks chaps,

Gareth

www.z22se.co.uk was the saviour for me when I had my 2.2 VX220. Your questions would be best on there.
