Is the knocking the sound from detonations inside the cylinders or is it the sound from a broken big end bearing, small end bearing, or a broken piston? A broken piston would explain both the knocking sound, the high crankcase pressure and the broken hoses. You have to make a compression test to see if that could be the explanation. > Suggestions? Can I stick a "B" engine in there? How about an "H" engine? A B2x4 (long engine) (about 1993 and later) should fit nicely. This engine swap is done by some 9-5 owners here in Sweden as the B234 engine isn't as optomized as the B2x5 engine, i.e. it has more metal in certain places that makes it better for high power outputs. Trying to fit one of the older longitudinally mounted engines is going to be an interesting job. They were never designed to fit a car like the 9-5. > Argh. I don't have time for this right now.

A broken piston. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
