My Saturn has about 60K miles.I have heard that there can be big problems from timing chain breaking. First, should I replace this now? Second, will the new part be different from the factory part? Will it have nossel to keep it lubricated better?
thanks

The problem with the chain emmenates from the timing belt tensioner. The oil port in the tensioner plugs up stopping lubrication. The part has been upgraded to stop this. Not positive but there may be a recall on that. The dealer should be able to tell you.

I assume that is the 2.2 ecotech motor.
