The timing chain on your Saturn is self adjusting. If it gets to the point that the self adjusting mechanism is no longer working, your engine is probably worn to the point that you need a little internal work; valves, pistons/rings, bore the cylinder, bearings...
The timing chain shouldn't stretch and the adjuster rails shouldn't wear much faster than the other components if the engine has been properly maintained.
