. . . on the freeway. vehicle shut down. no attempts to restart. lots of steam and blown coolant hose. saab mechanic said it failed a "wet compression" test; has "bad rings" and "collapsed pistons". second saab mechanic (has not seen vehicle) states a "blown head" could have occured and the engine may be fine. what to do?
