It's a long story, but here goes. This started out with a blown head gasket on the '89 turbo. I pulled the head and replaced the gasket. Normally, I would've simply replaced the head, but no this time I checked the timing and found it to be off. I put the flywheel at TDC and rotated the cams to the marks.
When I fired the engine up, the pistons smashed into the valves destroying the engine and the head. It turns out that someone had put a 9000 flywheel on this 900 which totally changed the timing.
It's an otherwise good car that I use in the winter in order to keep my '91 turbo convert off the salted roads we get around here.
