Re: backfirea and caught air filter on fire!!!!

You might want to do some research on the 89 engine. If it is an interference engine, it could have destroyed parts in the heads, which about doubles the job. The 87 was an interference engine. I replaced the timing chain, but it still wouldn't run because the valves were bent.
From this web site, it appears that 89 Lesabre is an interference engine
