Oofaa!
Is this a job that a mere mortal such as myself can do or should I send her off to the pros?

RE: Yet another newbee

have you ever done a timing belt? You could do it if you ahve a fellow mechanic that would give you a print-out from the directions to do it from ALLDATA or similar program.

RE: Yet another newbee

Never done a timing belt on a Saab. (I've done a few boat engines before (timing chains), probably best left to someone that actually knows what they're doing.
Again, thanks for the heads up.
