It's *possible* that your timing chain is worn to the point where the valve timings are a bit out of sequence.
Retail parts cost on a Timing chain is approx $40 Sprockets are also similarly inexpensive. Can't understand why these would not be replaced if dubious though. Although I have seen a 9000( I bought it for parts) where a Local Saab 'specialist' Neglected to install a fresh chain on a HG job he charged almost $2000! for and the chain snapped a few months later.
Idiots abound, unfortunately.
I've found that a new expansion tank and cap need a wee bit of overtightening, the first couple of times at least, as mine leaked as well... Dunno if that helps you any though.
