L Series Saturn Timing Chain Sign up here!

The car is running fine, but the situation is a worry, since some folks have reported timing chains failing without warning. The cars has 92K miles, and has been run on synthetic oil since break-in. Does anyone have any experience on just how often these things fail? We're trying to decide whether to have this replaced pro actively, given that a timing chain failure leads to major engine damage. Thanks, Mark wildcardkarmody New User Jul 24, 2007, 9:45 AM Post #2 of 3 (1955 views) Re: L Series Saturn Timing Chain Sign In there is a site that you could check out that might help you even better. it's called www.saturnfans.com it's a site with people on it who all have saturn and everyone exchanges tips and helps eachother with problems with their saturns or their own experiences.

The belts need periodic replacement at about 60K and can fail without warning. Chains usually last longer. What is the suggested change or inspect interval in the owner's manual?
