Does it mess the motor up when timing chain breaks on a Saturn SC1?

Yes, if the timing chain breaks a valve will hit a piston, causing significant internal damage.
The good news is, the timing chain seldom breaks. The bad news is, if YOURS was one of the few that did break, the engine is toast.

Do valves bend when timing belt breaks on 97 Saturn 1.9 motor?
There is no cam belt it is driven by a chain.
Will the valves get bent if timing chain breaks?
Unfortunately yes. The Saturn motor is considered an Interference motor. When the chain breaks the neutral landing position of the camshafts will allow valves to be open, as the engine slows down from its rotating mass it will bend these open valves.

It has a timing belt. In fact, all cars have timing belts, due to the nature of the piston combustion engine. Motor bikes have timing chains.
Do you need a new engine if the timing chain breaks on your 1994 Ford Courier?
Damage is only done if the motor is an "interference" design. ie the valves and the pistons overlap in the same place, only kept from colliding by the timing chain. When the timing chain breaks on a interference design, valves and pistons smash together. If it's not an interference design, the pistons and valve won't come into contact if the timing chain breaks, so odds are no internal damage done.
Can a cam chain tensioner be removed or reset from outside the motor on a 96 Saturn sl1?
The cam chain tension on a 1996 Saturn SL1 cannot be reset from outside of the motor. It will have to be accessed inside the motor. It is also a good idea to check and make sure it is not simply a broken timing guide.
