The head gasket only needs replacement if it starts to leak - which is not unheard of with this model. Be sure to get the *new* torque specs from the TSB that Saab put out if you replace the head gasket. >Second question is a hint for a good "do it yourself book" of this saab. www.alldatadiy.com is a great resource although it is missing some particulars in some areas. I think you need it to get the TSB information. Haynes publishes a book for this car. I think I heard a rumor that Bentley ? publishes one, but they are not known on my side of the Atlantic. Bob
