PeteB570; Get your timing belt checked(probably replace at this point), interference angle valves(piston hits them) can become damaged when it does break. Good time to replace water pump and or anything else that is easier to get at when dismantled to change timing belt.

I want to add an “amen” to that. We’ve had a fair number of older Saturns here (they’re popular with my older kids, too), and one thing they’re known for: you need to replace the timing belt usually around 100K miles. If that sucker goes.........you’re looking at one HELL of a big repair bill. Possibly a new engine.
