I'm pretty sure the Saturn motor is an interference engine so it looks like
you dodged a bullet. If the motor didn't blow up, I'd say you are likely
good to go.

1.8 litre Ecotec engine. <br>
Cam belt shredded.<br>
Some sites say this an interferrence engine some not... I can
see no evidence of the valves having touched any piston.<br>
The exhaust cam appears to have slipped about 270 degrees and
there is NO compression.<br>
The question is...if there are no marks on the pistons can I be
fairly confident that the valves are okay and installing a new
belt and resetting the timing will be all that is needed?<br>
