Saab 9000 head gasket write-up? Posted by skibumm100 [Email] ![]() ![]() |
I think I know the answer to this one but it can't hurt to ask. Is there a complete, step-by-step write up on changing the head gaskets on the Saab 9000 2.3L? I've got a copy of the Townsend 900 16V write up and snippets of posts regarding the 9000 HG job but it sure would be handy to have a write-up specifically for the 9000 2.3L turbo. I also have a set of factory manuals for the early pre-91 9000 but the procedure in the factory manual is even less detailed than the other stuff. I just started digging into the 97 CSE engine and spent more time removing some of the parts than I would have liked. It's all the little tricks to getting things like the coolant reservoir out that are frustrating. I should have started dictating my procedure to a voice recorder for posterity. Granted it's not rocket science but I hate wasting time. Everythings off the front of the engine, intake side is next. I might try to write this thing up. Too bad I'm this far along. Maybe I can post it for comment to see if I missed anything.
