Best Answer

The "L" series Saturns came in two varieties; the 4 cylinder (which used a timing chain), and the V6 which used a timing belt.

To replace the timing belt on the V6 you must use the specially designed tool to lock the camshafts and crankshaft in place while you replace the belt.

To replace the timing chain on the 4 cylinder, you must remove the front housing. It's easier to just remove the engine.
