Did I roll the dice? No.
I decided to throw some money into the Aero for parts and get grease under my nails and beat up my knuckles. Yeah, I have SAAB disease alright.
I knew the bottom-end was solid when my gasket blew through (never overheated) with 216,567 miles on her. You will not see all of my shade-tree torquing on Carfax - that's for sure!
I took the head in to get new seals, valve job and cleaned. Also 3 broken studs removed and a fourth lasered due to ez out tip I broke off in there.
This job stretched out over 4 weeks due to absence and rain days etc.
I feel good.
I drove plenty of replacement candidates just in case and best under 12k was Passat Turbo in my opinion......but I want something better!
Back in the Recaros.............end of story.
