Re: SOHC Model Years Head Crack Defect
'91-'02, though the earlier ones were more prone to the defect. Around Cam Journal #3 if I remember correctly and it's easy to miss due to the Styrofoam cast texture on nearly everything.

Re: Fuel Rail Replacement
I don't remember anything on the TB getting in the way, but that's easy enough to remove. I likely had an extension with a wobble end on it, those are amazing.
Pretty sure there's only 2 vacuum...

Re: Coolant light stays on
Oh, yeah. Forgot about the cleaning option. Add fluid, if that doesn't fix it then drain & clean, if that doesn't fix it then drain again & replace.
Sucks that for 2 of the options you have to...

Re: Coolant light stays on
Solid = overtemp
Flashing = low coolant level
As it's flashing, either add a few ounce's to the coolant level to turn it off or replace the coolant tank as the level sensor is molded into the...

Re: Turbo Saturn build
The more rotating mass you have the easier take off will be, but it'll be slower to rev up. The weight trade off on the crankshaft is worth it because it's better balanced, a lighter flywheel should...

Re: Fuel Filter Installation
I think its possible yes, but its easier to pull them with the rail. The clips that hold the injectors to the rail can be quite the PITA to work with.

Re: 2000 Saturn SL1
I'd check the cig lighter fuse first for the OBD-II reader thing, then wiggle/jiggle the heck out of the key in run to see if the gauges respond. I'm suspecting a bad ignition switch based on the...

Re: Turbo Saturn build
I'm not sure which is the overall stronger crankshaft, but the heavier one is better balanced (smoother running) and can "pointlessly" rev higher.
"Pointlessly" because there's a steep power...

Only "gotcha" part...
