I have NEVER heard of a 2.3 throwing a rod. Yours is the first. I've owned four SAABs, and been on this board for a number of years, and this is the first case I can recall. You bought the car used; it could be that a previous owner just thrashed the shit out of the engine, or ran it with not enough oil, and set the stage for a rod failure. Did the bolts let go, or did the rod separate in mid-length?
