The problem that you refer to is pretty unusual.
Get an estimate from the dealer regarding costs. Then, go to a reputable indy for a second estimate.
If this unusual damage is due to sludge....
1. You may be eligible for a new engine from Saab. Pursue this angle with the dealer.
2. Other serious wear may be present but not discernable yet. If repair costs are north of $2,000 - $3,000 consider replacing the engine.
In conclusion, I would pursue an answer to the question as to what caused this unusual failure. Unless you really nail down and remedy the cause you could be throwing a lot of money away.
