My engine, B205R 101k miles, has an early stage knock in the low end, I believe in cyl 4, only audible when the car is fully warmed up on idle and around 2k rpm. I'm willing to do a rebuild of the low end - or even just the one cylinder - but I've never opened up an engine, so I'm gonna need...

Hello all, hopefully you all had a good holiday. Just a quick question, which way does the rear main oil seal install in the cover? I looked around online and really couldn't find anything. Looking at the plate from the starter side, which way should the "open" side of the seal face. If...

Hey Guy, Honestly I'm super excited to finally own a saab, i've been looking high and low for a wagon in good interior condition and was maintained well. Anyhow, i'm about to embark on a head gasket repair, there is coolant mixing in the engine and the freeze plug blew off due to an overheat...

Hi all, just went to a Saab technician for diagnosis on my sick saab. It's a 1999 9-3 se and is having engine issues. I was quoted around $3000 to do rings and valves (super low compression in middle two cylinders - dry: 100,75,80,100 (psi) wet: 120,85,90,120). The repair cost is more than...

Okay folks, I need some advice from those who love their Saabs. My engine needs replacing and I just can't decide what to do. '99 9-3se CV The sob story: I left town for a month and let a friend drive my car while I was gone. There had been a slight oil leak since I got it two years ago but...

The engine in my 05 WRX Saab 9-2x Aero just bought it. Only 83K miles, not abused, and oil changed frequently and religiously. Very disappointing but things happen. Pulled it partly apart (heads/oil pan) and apparently spun the number 4 rod bearing. Pretty bad so it'll also need a new short...
