Rebuild!!!! There is no need to replace the whole engine. The head gasket is a pretty easy fix if for a machanic. You will save a lot of money this way to. Your looking to spend between $400-$700 depending on who you have do it.

Never. The Saturn S series vehicles used a timing chain instead of a timing belt. And the chain is inside the engine, bathed in oil to keep it lubricated. The timing chain should be replaced whenever you rebuild the engine.
How much would it cost to replace or rebuild the engine in a 1994 Saturn sc1?
I am not sure how much it would cost to rebuild the engine, but I just did an engine swap on my saturn. The engine cost $325 and it had 102,000 miles on it. Keep in mind that this price doesn't include the price for the oil/filter, coolant, sparkplugs/wires. All said and done my car was up and running like a new car for under $400.00. The hardest part of the whole thing was actually finding an engine for it.
