I wrote a week ago with some indications that I had a blown head gasket.
Well, that was the case. Head Gasket replacementment at my local Saab repair shop, $1068.00. Ouch. Better than the $1500-$1800 estimate I got from another shop!
The mechanic said the bottom right (looking at the engine) head bolt was finger tight! Anyway 77,000 miles and I'm on the road agian waiting for my next failure.
