Does anyone know were I can find a rebuilt 9-5 V6  long block engine

What happened to your engine?  Timing belt?

brokensaab -> RE: 1999 9-5 Turbo (10/31/2007 8:28:22 PM)

Yea timing belt, then the piston took out a valve and you can image what happened from there.

Roto -> RE: 1999 9-5 Turbo (10/31/2007 8:40:32 PM)

Is there any damage to the block?  Was the piston damaged? If anything I'd rebuild the damaged head, it'll be MUCH cheaper than a rebuilt engine.  Believe it or not, but that is a very common failure on the V6s and I've been lucky finding good deals on parts for that particular repair.

yea i will probably check into that. I have not done a complete tear down on this engine yet

Go ahead and take the heads off. You've got nothing to loose except a couple of hours of time.  I've seen three rebuilds of these engines and it's usually a matter of a couple of valves which are around $10 each...plus new headgaskets and timing belt/tensioneer of course

do you a good source for these parts?

Roto -> RE: 1999 9-5 Turbo (11/6/2007 6:51:50 PM)

absolutely.

www.eeuroparts.com has always been good with communication and timely shipping.

Thanks for all the help I will let you know how it all turns out
