I went through the exact same routine as Vincent. It worked for about 20k mi, but eventually the headgasket (already suspect on my '99) went out in spectacular fashion. All hands suspect that the engine's attempt to compress water probably did not help the notorious loose head bolt situation.
I eventually replaced the entire engine with a low mileage unit from scrap. I've since had to replace the pulleys and the ac condensor as well.
Now at 90k miles, this is starting to get expensive!
My car's the black 99 9-3 in the customer's vehicles section, below.
