I just returned to the Saab world after a 5 year hiatus--one last b-engine water pump failure in a very inopportune location temporarily soured my love affair w/ my 99. This time I found an '88 turbo (135k miles) w/ a bit of deferred maintainance, but right away it's time to replace the head gasket. Any recommendations for what else might need work while I'm in there? Haven't worked on an H engine before, nor a turbo and only minimal info regarding this one's prior condition. It's all terribly intriguing. The sleek little beast sounds like it's also got one valve lifter (either #2 or #3 intake) that's not working, the tick doesn't ever stop. Any pointers on how to find the culprit? Is it a result of the head gasket? Looking forward to really getting this one oout on the road. Thanks---Dan
