I would take what that 'Saab' mechanic said with a pinch of salt. The only part that lets the B series engine down is the water pump. The bottom end is good for up to 9000rpm, but the standard valve train is really only reliable up to around 6000rpm, but with some thought AND money this can be improved. The two early oil pumps on the H series engine do not like sustained high RPMs, but the later pump is OK.
