The only definite symptom was oil smoke on engine start (cold or warm, no relation to how long it sat before restarting). I changed the turbo to eliminate that. At that point we couldn't think of any thing else we could do, so the head gasket was changed, head checked by machine shop and so on. The car usually ran about 1/4 up the gage, and it overheated mildly while stopped & idling. Nothing else. Visual inspection of the head gasket showed nothing obvious. Head gasket fixed it 2.5 years ago. '90 SPG, 186,000 miles. Vern
