Internally defective? So far from my experience the B207 and B284 are some of the most reliable engines Saab has used in a while, especially compared to the B205/B235 engines. Believe it was John Myers or Drew here on TSN who posted finding one or two (few?) v6 engine with a misfire which turned out to be a loose rocker in the top end. Nothing to cause catastrophic engine failure though. The highest mileage v6 I regularly service & repair has 118k, the highest mileage B207 4 cylinder has 231k.
Perhaps other techs can chime in with their experiences but I have not seen or heard of any catastrophic failures on the B284.
