* Different Engines: The 1996 Cavalier came with various engine options (1.6L, 2.2L, and 2.4L). Each engine has a different cylinder head design and therefore a different weight.
* Head Variations: Even within the same engine size, there might be variations in the cylinder head, such as aluminum vs. cast iron, which can influence the weight.
To determine the weight of your Cavalier's head, you'll need:
1. Identify your engine size: Check your vehicle's VIN plate or owner's manual for the engine code.
2. Look up the head weight: Consult a repair manual or online database specifically for your engine.
Remember: It's essential to use reliable sources for this information, as an incorrect weight could lead to issues with other engine components.
