Typical failure when poor quality coolant is used over a long period of time. It is pretty do-able. Look to www.saabnet.com under FAQ and the C900 BB also at www.townsendimports.com there is a lot of good information about head gaskets and also http://www.twinsaabs.com/ under DIY headgasket. I just did this in Dec on my '92 C900T. It probably failed due to corrosion of the head gasket near CYL #1. Not too tough, actually, if you have done a head gasket before. Make sure that you use Mercedes coolant after you put it back together. You get it at the MB dealer or the Chrysler dealer.
