The timing chain on your Saturn is located on the left side of the engine as you are looking at it from the front of the car. If you are ambitious and mechanically inclined, the timing chain is fairly simple to do. It does however require some time and effort to gain access. I suggest that the timing chain be purchase from Saturn because they have an upgrade kit for the oil pump to help lube the new chain more efficiently. The old chain relies on oil run off from the head.

How do you fix a timing chain belt on a 92 Saturn SL2 and how do you know if you have a bent valve?
No such thing as a timing chain belt. It is either a belt or chain. Replace the belt according to the schedule in your owner's manual. If it breaks and your engine is an interference engine, you will 95% of the time have damage. You will know the extent of the damage when the engine is torn down. The 1992 SL2 has a timing chain. Mine has 240,000 miles on it and is still running fine.

What happens when the timing chain is going out?
redo the timing or replace the whole kit - I might add that replacing the entire timing chain as a kit is what you would do when you find out that the timing chain is bad. The question was what happens when the timing chain is going out? 1. It may get or be harder to start the engine 2. The engine performance will be down 3. The ignition and cam timing will be unstable 4. The engine has a greater potential to "jump" timing or become mistimed. This could lead to bent valves and other problems which are more expensive to fix.

What problems can you have with the timing chain on a Chrysler 3.8?
Timing chains have either a single or a double chain (duplex). The timing chain has at least 20 sprockets, and a tensioner. All of these parts do wear out and cause problems. Some timing chains are made of rubber and others are made of solid metal. The rubber ones usually have a recommended life, i.e. 50,000 miles. One problem is that if a timing chain breaks the valves or hits pistons, it will cost a fortune to fix. Another problem after changing a timing chain is if the gears weren't lined up when it was put on, or the tension was wrong on the timing belt. Usually there should be no more than a total of 1 inch of play. I don't know if the Chrysler has a rubber timing chain or metal, or what it would cost to replace the timing chain on this vehicle.

How do you fix the problem of jumped timing with out timing light?
Your question is too vague usually when someone says that their engine has jumped time that means that the timing chain has jumped on the timing sprockets. If that is the case you would need to change them. If the distributor is out of time to do it right you would need to have a timing light. You would need a repair manual for the specifications to fix both of them.

Is a 1998 ford explorer timing chain expensive to fix?
It depends. The explorer has a front timing chain and rear timing chain assembly. While the rear cassette/tensioner rarely fails, it is far more expensive and difficult to fix. If the front tensioner is the problem (which it commonly is), then the repair is quite simple. Either way, a dealership will charge an arm and a leg to repair. I have heard that fixing both can be as much as 2-3 thousand dollars.
