My 2K viggen has 139K miles on it's clock. Hast stage III+ mods according to genuine saab and has seend a few track days,
For the last week or so it seemed like it was acting not normal, seemed to be retarding boost a bit with partial throttle runs.
Today I was sitting in a parking lot talking on my phone for several minutes. After around a minute the car would shake violently for a second then all was OK. After another minutue or so it did the same thing which repeated maybe a handful of times. Then It made another funky noise, shook then smoke poured out of the engine compartment. I turned the car off and couldn't see where it was coming from. Started the car up and it was fine.... checked the oil and there was a bunch of white milky stuff on the dipstick thus my guess is headgasket.
I drove the car back to my garage and parked it..... does this sound like the headgasket? From what I saw the coolant looks fine and the car behaved fine on the 2 or so mile drive home. no smoke is coming out the tailpipe.....
thanks
