oil issues/engine ticking
#12
So I ended up getting a motor for my 2001 93...Not a new motor but one that was taken out of another Saab. I'm wondering how long it takes to change out the motors? The mechanic seems to be taking forever and I was just wondering how difficult a job this is. I just spoke to him and he kept saying that he "didn't anticipate this and that" referring to the gaskets and maybe the Manafold? I think he mentioned Manafold, he seemed so overwhelmed I just wanted to get off the phone.
Any input on what it takes to change out motors would be greatly appreciated.

He seems to be "competent" I'm just a bit concerned due to the fact he was saying that he didn't anticipate this and that etc...re the gaskets(would one change them since you're in there or no-if they're in good shape)
Thanks

While the engine is out it is wise to replace anything that needs replacement and check the timing components as well. I would say that there's always unanticipated things that come up when swapping the engine...like rotten heater core hoses.
