Check back a week or two and you'll see the thread on my query to the board. My '92 900T 2.0 blew the head gasket on #1 cylinder, at the aft-end of the engine. No oil contamination, just pumped coolant thru the cylinder and out the exhaust (big 'ol cloud of steam!).
I have it all torn down, parts all cleaned, my new gaskets & seals arrived from eEurosports.com yesterday (fantastic supplier!), and I will start re-assembly today. Can't say it's been fun, but sure beats paying my indie $1000+ to do it. I'll have about $100 total in parts, fluids, etc.
These links will be helpful:

Good luck, and try to take your time; patience will pay!!!
