Message from Joshua Van tol Subject: Re: 2.3 Cam Chain ================= Replacement of the chain only is probably worth a shot if you can't find someone to do the job right for a reasonable price. That said, the $4500 estimate is outrageous. Even at $100 an hour, that's still $2500 for parts, which is WAY out of line. Get a second opinion. Even buying from the Saab dealer, it shouldn't cost more than $800 for parts. Why do they want to remove the cylinder head? Replacing the gasket at 213k is probably not a bad idea, but doesn't sound like it's strictly necessary. For the price you were quoted, you could probably have the engine rebuilt.
