Hi all, i was perusing the used ads over here and came across a saab 9-5 from 99 with the b308(150,000 km) motor in it which the timing belt has jumped a couple of teeth, is this worth fixing? what would i be up against new valves? or is it likely the pistons would be damaged as well? I'm geussing the repair isn't going to be cheap i've done a bit of research but any extra info would be great sa i'm sure there's plenty of people on here that know this lump better than me,
regards,
Rich.

If its only jumped a couple of teeth it may have escaped any damage at all,worst case though is bent valves,pistons may be marked but don't usually sustain damage
