When replacing headgasket 2002 chevy cavalier 2.2 do i have to take off timing chain
You surely do. So yes, you have to tear down the front of the engine also. You should also buy a manual. Lots of info in it for you to use to reassemble it.

Rough idle timing chain? 2004 chevy cavalier
Sounds like a 2.4 Quad four engine? If so the chain has either different colored links marked links that have to be aligned with the marks on the cam gear[s] and the crank gear.A chiltons book will show you how.
