It is possible for it to break, but highly unlikely, especially if you perform oil/filter changes as you should. Normally the timing chain will last the life of the engine and is not an item you replace. But on your Saturn it is critical that the oil/filter be changed exactly as listed in the owner's manual. The timing chain may also come into contact with the timing cover, causing noise in the engine. The only way to know for sure if the chain needs replacing is to look at it. If you do that, you might as well just replace it.

The 6 cylinder Saturns were equipped with the "Ecotec" engine, which used a timing belt. Timing belts fail over time, and Saturn recommends that the belt be replaced every 100,000 miles. The 4 cylinder Saturns all used timing chains. With recommended service and normal use, the timing chain should not fail. It is recommended that you replace the timing chain and sprockets whenever the engine is rebuilt, but otherwise, the timing chain is considered to be quite reliable.
