Engine Head for '99 9-5 V-6

After a tensioner failed and timing skipped at 70mph, I'm sitting with at $7K repair bill and an engine head that's been on back-order in Sweden since Dec. 19th. Car has 76K miles.
Any suggestions on how to aquire a new engine head for this vehicle?
Also, I'm interested in speaking to any other Saab owners who've experienced a tensioner failure with subsequent engine damage.
Am I the only one or is this an issue with this vehicle?
