Ok, that was what I was thinking too. At this time, I'm not too inclined to go nuts on the build of this, but do want it to last, so I have already ordered the ball-joint, some nylock hex-nuts, a new jamb-nut and bolt, and will look for appropriate spacers as well. That should do the trick! Again, S...

Hi again, squaab99t, and again, many thanks for your guidance here.

Do you have part numbers for those bushings that I can purchase, or a suggested online retailer for oil impregnated brass bushings?

peace,
Rob

Hey Thanks for the suggestions, info and link, squaab99t! For this project, I will also need some spacers that help fill the gap on either side of the spherical ball joint - because the body mount has a larger space than the ball joint itself... What did you end up using for that? The original spher...

Hi there fellow Sport Saabers - from North Idaho! Being a SAAB 900 lover in north Idaho is no small task, especially in the salty winters! No longer do I drive my '89 SPG in the winter months because of this, however, after two unprotected winters, the damage was done. My 9sport adjustable panhard r...

Roger that, Chief

Ha HAAAA!!! -Excellent news! I was able to buy a crank scraper (not a windage tray, but that's ok) from crank-scrapers.com! He actually had the designs already in stock, just didn't have a link up on his page, and only $59 too! I cant wait to see how this will help in "spirited driving" si...

Hutch and Crazyswede! Thank you so much. I feel much more edumicated now on this excellent Technology, and I called and left a message for Crankscrapers.com to see if they could fab up a windage tray/crank scraper for my 900 build. I hope I hear back from them soon! The triumph tray seems quite reas...

Thanks for all of your thoughts guys, but... I actually already have lightened flywheel that I will be using, new (lighter) Wossner pistons, and (much lighter) pauter connecting rods, thus lightening the rotating mass by quite a bit. I want to continue to do as much as I can to lighten and balance t...

No one has heard or attempted a crank scraper for a C900? Dang. I was hoping I'd hear from one of you Super SAABers!

Hey SAABers! I am planning on a slammin' Engine rebuild, and part of the fun, of course, is sourcing all the go-fast bits for the build. This go-around, I'd like to add a crank-scraper/windage tray to the bottom end of the motor to aid in keeping the crank balanced under high rpm, for engine spool-u...

Update. I have received my replacement set (for the second time) of pistons today. As soon as I get home, I am opening the box and verifying everything to be sure that B234 pistons will work with the B202 Block and Connecting Rods (I bought Pauter Connecting Rods *ART*). I can already tell you that...

Awesome, Drew!
I thought that was the case, but was hoping that you or Luke would chime in and cornfirm.

Thanks for setting my mind at ease.

So, did you get your hatch fixed for the RallyCross this weekend?

40.3 mm Luke, are you saying that the Compression Height of the OEM B202 piston is 40.3mm? If so, then I am getting closer to using the B234 piston heads for my rebuild, as the Compression Height is the same between the B202 and B234! :yay: If you are curious, Here is my source from on-line that sh...

Yeah, I read that post too, and was a little unsure of the validity.
It is so darn hard to find specs for B202 piston heads on the inter-webs, ya know?
Maybe I just haven't looked hard enought yet...
