:
: If this engine is so great, why did they only sell it for two years? It was
: only sold in 94 and 95. Why would you design an engine, with interference,
: with a rubber timing belt that will eventually break? Does Saab now put
: timing belts in their engines or metal timing chains? I'll tell you why -
: they put timing belts in because they don't require lubrication and their
: manufacturing cost is less.
I don't think anyone here has said that this engine is great; in fact,
most people avoid it.
Saab uses metal timing chains in all of their 4-cylinder engines, even
today.
