I know how you feel. I just had the engine in my 99 9-3 SE rebuilt. The rod bearings failed at 189,000 miles. Here is my advice to you;have it rebuilt. This is what I found out about these engines:they have a billeted crankshaft, aircraft grade aluminum pistons, free floating pins, forged rods, super hi-quality steel in the block. The machinist sould not believe the quality and hae mainly works on racing cars. There was bearly a ridge ring at the top of the cylinder and you could still see cross hatch in the cylinder itself. Every aspect of the engine was still well within factory specs. If you need the name of the ASE certified mechanic I can give it to you. He did a great job for about $3400.00.
Runs like a scalded dog!
