I am going to DIY my headgasket and most likely turbo, 1999 9-5 2.3 auto 178K ish miles and have a few ?? I couldn't find answers in posts for..
Eeuroparts has complete headgasket kit, Elring.. has anyone had good/bad experience with this brand gaskets? It includes cam cover gasket, I recently replaced it 3 months ago, should it be replaced again? said was elring on euparts but when got it was in genuine saab package?
Also recently replaced head bolts with newest saab version from euparts, tried retourque, lasted well for about 4 months, got me through winter but loosing coolant again and smoke from dipstick and exhaust.. can these stretch bolts be reused once or must I spring for new $50 set?
If turbo is toast, think will do Mitsubishi swap.. saw good info on posts here for help with that..
Just installed WIS last night, sweet..
While all this is apart and stuff is accessible, what are the recommended upgrades/replacement for parts either just for access or for turbo related that won't break the bank..
Other suggestions for this project??
Many thanks for all the help I have received from you all from my previous posts and ?????
