When do you need to replace timing chain on 1994 Saturn?
Generally speaking, if you have properly maintained and not abused the engine, the timing chain should last until the engine is worn out. If you find that you have any burned valves, by all means replace the timing chain, pulleys and chain tensioners. But a timing chain is not like a timing belt. A belt will wear out after 80K to 100K miles. The chains do age, but since they are constantly in an oil bath, if you've kept the oil clean the chain should last a long time.
When does your Saturn sl2 timing chain need to be replaced?
Timing BELTS are outside the engine, run dry, and have no external lubrication. Timing BELTS should be replaced according to the manufacturers schedule. But the SL2 is not equipped with a timing belt, it uses a timing chain. Timing chains are internal, well lubricated, and designed to last as long as the rest of the engine. You shouldn't need to replace the timing chain until you rebuild the engine.
