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.

If the timing chain breaks on 22re does it bend the valves?
The 22R/RE engine family are interference engines, which means that the pistons WILL hit the valves if the timing chain breaks. At least 2 valves WILL be bent, maybe more if the engine was under power when the chain broke. Some people have claimed to had broken chains without bent valves, but the question you have to ask yourself is if you want to tear down most of the engine TWICE to find out. The odds of the chain breaking at just the right spot and the valves sitting just right to not get hit is about 1 in 64.
