Certain year OG9-3's could get sludge build up if the oil wasn't changed soon enough or if mineral oil, not synthetic oil was used. Saab makes .25-mm and .50-mm bearings in case the crank needs to be ground. But. it's very labor-intensive to pull the crank. A new crank has a dealer list price of around $2-k the last time I looked. Your best bet is a used engine with a warranty. But expect at least 20 hours labor to inspect the new engine, pull the old engine, install the new engine and get it running. So, that's going to be around $1500-$2000 in labor plus anything additional that's required. If it was me, I would DIY since I have the time and tools... Ron
