Also, if the head is cracked, how much should I expect to pay to >have it fixed, or should I bother? > Just had it done on my 150K mile '88 9000 here in UK. Luckily the head wasn't damaged so it was a straight gasket change, new head bolts, engine flush etc. I had some other bits done as well but as a guess the head part of the work was about £300, I don't have the invoice with me so I have been pessimistic and this should be treated as a max cost The car now runs beautifully - thank goodness!
