The engine stops running.

In most cases it also causes expensive to repair valve damage and on some high performance engines piston and rod damage.

What happens when a timing chain breaks on a 2000 Saturn 1.9 liter twin cam?

If a timing chain breaks the valves will no longer be synchronized with the pistons, meaning that one or more valves will be open when a piston reaches the top of its stroke. When that happens, we all know that two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time, so either he piston will break the valve or the valve will shatter the piston. In short, a broken timing chain generally assures instant destruction of the engine; the extent of the destruction is not always the same, depending on several factors. HOWEVER... It should be noted that the timing chain on the 4 Saturn cylinder engines seldom fails. While a timing chain should be replaced when the engine is rebuilt, it is not considered necessary to replace the timing chain the way we need to replace timing belts.
