This may be the end of the line for my '85 900S with 210K miles ... please post your opinions they are greatly appreciated!!
The car overheated and a hose came off, not realizing this I drove it a short distance the next day with no coolant. During the course of this drive, about 5 miles into it at about 50 mph, the car started to misfire and overheated. The car would not restart even after cooling down and adding coolant. The plugs were fouled with antifreeze. My mechanic says it will cost me about $1000 to do the head gasket and rebuild the cylinder head. I don't know if there were cracks or valve damage but the episode didn't seem overly violent or prolonged ...
Should I take off the head and put a new gasket and plugs myself and see if it revives her, or should I send her out to pasture???????
Thanks,
KevinOD
