From my understanding of the 4-cylinder, bent valves (and thus need for a head) are non-issues, since it's a non-interference engine. Furthermore, it was still running.... It would be a big deal on the V6 if the timing chain broke.
Cheers, Derek / trying to get back in a 9-5 / previous '02 9-5 & '94 900 & '82 900T
