I was at our local dealer picking up some parts over lunch--service manager said they just had 1996 960 wagon come in with a bad engine (idler failed, timing belt jumped, etc.). The mech working on the car said that the crank turns only 90 degrees, with a "solid clunk" (mechanical interference) at each end.
Car looks pretty clean and straight (metallic sand biege, light leather interior). I've heard that the 960 is a good candidate for a V8 motor (my only experience is with my old 245).
Not sure what the owner will be asking for it, but seems likely to work through the dealership.
This is an "FYI" only--I have no interest in the car (my wife would shoot me if I started one more project)--all of the standard disclaimers apply.
Let me know and I can put you in touch with the service mgr . . .
Best regards,
Steve A-
