I had some luck at www.spswebpage.com (for the Stillen's) and
www.carparts.com (for the vanilla brands - about 3 if I remember).

I keep meaning to stop by the dealer and look under the hood of the V6 -
just curious to see the Honda engine.

I'll save you some trouble

Thanks... looks like a couple of V6's - The LX9 with the alternator up top
is I'm guessing the Honda, versus the L66 with the mid mounted alternator
and what looks like timing belt covers.

Oh I just noticed the other 3.5L engine. I didnt know they were going
to be using that in Saturns. The LX9 (3500) isnt the Honda engine.
(timing "belt" like covers = Honda) The 3500 is based on GM's 2.8L 3.1L
and 3.4L 60 degree engines. Neither the L66 or the LX9 are anything to
cheer about... Anytime you see a engine liter size with the decebal
moved back 3 spaces it likely has direct GM roots. 2.8's are 2800, 3.1's
are 3100, then 3400, 3500, 3800, 5300, 5700 etc etc...

Sounds like you need to go and find another dealership or a private mechanic
who knows how to work on Saturns.
