Subject: Help- catastrophic timing belt failure in 94 900 2.5l v6


So tell me, is there any point in pulling this engine apart and doing a rebuild, or should I pull the CD changer and anything else I can sell on eBay and have it hauled to a junk-yard? The one mechanic I've used (not a dealer but he only works on Saabs) said to junk the engine... Body is OK, but there's some rust (I'm in New England so it's seen a lot of salt). I can't think of anything else to add. I do most of my own automotive work and really mucked this one up by not replacing the darned thing before it failed (obviously I've already kicked myself, so I don't need anyone's help here). I consider myself technically competent in tearing it apart and rebuilding it, but just don't know if it's worth it or not. Any comments are welcome... e-mail me direct if you're not comfortable posting (or want to make me an as-is offer to buy the shell). -Jason
