A head gasket job isn't that huge, once you get into it. It sounds worse than it really is. The main thing is getting the cams aligned, but if you are using the same chain, then just mark your cam gears and chain really well. The bottom chain cannot drop off of the sprocket due to the guide they put on it, so no need to worry about that. Also, make sure you have your head shaved to make sure it's flat. Make sure your block surface is both clean and dry before lowering the head back onto it. Use the anerobic sealant on everything else and don't worry when it doesn't dry.....it's not suppose to. Do a search on this site as there are step-by-step instructions on how to do it.
Good luck. When you're finished, you'll know much more about what makes a Saab tick.
