so,
gasket #1 (original) leaked at 90K
gasket #2 (replacement) leaked at 187K
gasket #3 (current) leaked after installation.
I'd compr check ea hole, and leak down on #1 to see what's leaking where, assuming the leak is a compression leak?
fan switch can be tested, replace t-stat if not new.
peak into rad inlet with small mechanic's mirror ... look for any crusty build-up on tube flat inlets. best flush is prestone superclean ... tedious. always use distilled water.
use Saab gasket, unless someone says another is as good. Block and head must be flat, no dips, and surfaces surgically clean and no flaws.
I recall progressive torque up, and final x/4 turn type procedure. Make sure all head fasteners thread smoothly, lightly oiled.
