I am in the process of rebuilding my Saab 95 Aero 2001 2.3 engine. I thought I would start this thread to share some of my experiences so far and perhaps post a few pictures as well.

I decided to redo my engine after 170,000 miles to try to get rid of a bit of oil burning and most of all to get those Darn low friction pistons out of there. Saab deiced to go for more fuel economy and they took what was a great engine and put in weaker piston with less friction in an attempt to get greater fuel economy.

I have owned many Saabs 8 4 cylinder turbos and 3 2 stokes.

I love the 95 Aero and wanted to get it back to where my 9000 1997 Aero was in the way of a great engine. Don't get me wrong, the 95 Aero is a great car as it is, but can be improved.
