FYI, I have an extra '96 850 engine, from a manual transmission wagon, sitting in my garage.

It had about 90,000 miles on it when it suffered a ring failure. I usually work on my own cars but did not have the time or space to deal with the car at the time, so I had a local shop work on the engine. They replaced all the pistons and rings and various other things. Put the engine back in and about three months later it suffered from burned values. They had replaced the O2 sensors at the time of the rebuild and there was an erroneous listing for O2 sensors in the Bosh catalog for '96 manual transmissioned cars--so one of the sensors placed in the car was the incorrect sensor. A long-distance trip made short work of several of the valves. By then I had decided to take things into my own hands and purchased an engine from a boneyard and replaced my original engine myself.

The original, "rebuilt" engine has sat in my garage ever since. Except for the valves, I think it is perfectly usable shape.

If you are interested, let me know.

Ken
