Headbolt Replacement Follow-up

Well, i've finally done it.
After four one-hour periods between work and darkness, i've been able to complete the headbolt replacement.
My findings:
1) Engine was sludge free!
2) PCV nipple will break very easily, and Tulsa's Saab dealership (which is 99% Cadillac, 1% Saab in terms of support) doesn't keep it in stock.
3) #10 bolt was loose (and covered in coolant)
4) #7 & #8 were covered in oil, strangely.
5) The valve cover gasket can be a real pain to get back in place.
However, as far as I can tell after running her in the driveway for 10 min. - no more leaks!
Now to tackle the drooping exhaust / vacuum line problem....
