Man, that sucks! My SAAB 9-5 has the same engine and I really like it but hope I don't have a valve crash down the road. Either there was an idler/tensioner failure or the belt wasn't installed properly in the first place, mainly tensioned properly. Hopefully the pistons are OK, no holes or cracks. You might check out the heads that were on Ebay. No cams but new heads. They didn't sell but the Guy may still have them. You would need to make sure they are the correct ones. You could email the seller and see if he's still got them. Good luck. If SAAB won't help you out, find a good independent shop. Search for completed items "Saab 9_5 V6 heads 3.0 turbo" on ebay.
