Hey folks, I'm having a bit of trouble getting my 1994 Saab 900SE 2.0T back and running. It blew a head gasket in Burgaw when my wife and I were coming back from Wilmington, NC so we had to have it towed from there to Cary, NC (a $275 bill, joy!). I replaced the head gasket, but it's running like garbage. I tested the DIC by swapping another known good DIC with this one and still had the same problem, checked compression (105-115 across which seems low but it has 148k miles on it), checked timing TWICE, and it's still running poorly.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what's wrong? Also, does anyone know of a good shop that could diagnose and maybe fix it. If it's something to do with the head not being set right, then I will just take the head of a check everything again. I don't believe any valves are bent because the timing was taken care of, but it's always a possibility. Does anyone have any suggestions or possibilites on what could be wrong.

Thanks,
Stephen B.
