That's where I thought you were going. Sorry, but I'd submit that an engine with 15+ years of Saab-performed changes, and zero interchangable parts (except the oil filter, unless I'm mistaken) is more a pure Saab design, than an engine jointly designed with Opel/GM. We never had sludge problems with the H engine until after GM came on the scene...
