When I removed the timing chain cover the piece where the pulley bolts on seems to have broke off. Is it replaceable?

Good afternoon,

Can you post a picture of what you see?

Do you mean the tension-er or the cam or crank pulley?

This is front and back view it looks like some kind of insert. I do not know if it is factory.

Okay, that is for the pulley for the drive belt.

Yes, replace the cover. You would be much better off getting that new part.

You can call a gm dealer for the part as Saturn is under the GM umbrella.
