Killed Valkyrie's heart: boiled it up and poured cold water in. YES, I DO KNOW IT WAS #*^%$ FAULT OF MINE but I was under stress. Nevertheless I did hear the 'click' then and now there's cream in oil. Took the head off and headgasket is ok. So it's either crack in the block or in the head or in both of them. Going to try pressure test.
Since C900 are pretty rare here (~ 50-100 for the whole Moscow) the only source for engine blocks appears to be used 9K's blocks (B202: 2L pre-M93). If it's only about starter plate and chain cover then it's not a big deal. Relatively not a big deal, comparing to 3 tranny services (the 3rd one was superfluous, it was found out to be the front mount being loosen) and other stuff carried out.

P.S.
EPC lists C900 and 9K blocks (even naked) under different p/numbers. If they're the same then why that?
And... I feel I'm really tired with all that stuff. I do love C900 but it should not be the primary car and especially daily driver here: every second fix requires intl order. Time to give it up. 9K, uh?
