The Saturn goes in today (Tuesday) for service.

Turns out the closest dealer to me is in Binghamton, and I have to tow it, though Saturn will reimburse me for the tow if the dealer does the recall service.

Dealer says that they'll replace the timing chain kit, but they won't replace anything else that's wrong w/ the engine, if anything. I say this is BS, because the timing chains are on a mandatory recall from NHTSA, and if it broke/slipped, and anything in the (interference) engine was damaged as a result of the faulty chain, it should also be replaced under the recall.

If they choose to only replace the timing chain, I'll be speaking with Saturn again, in the event that there was other damage that should be attributable to the timing chain problem, such as bent valves, broken pistons, etc.

I spun the cams over, and didn't notice any rockers lifting away from the valve stems, but that isn't the correct way to check, as minute bends won't show with this method.
