Engine Woes

I recently purchased a 1989 900 SPG, which promptly blew a hose on the highway and overheated badly. Since then, the fuel economy has been dropping steadily, coupled with a very distinct aroma of gas in the oil. I have replaced the fuel regulator, cleaned and checked the injectors, replaced most of the ignition system, fuwl filter, etc., but to no avail. Both myself and my local Saab mechanic are stumped. The compression is good, and it idles and boosts/accelerates well, but is now down to 16-19 MPG, no matter what the circumstances. Has anyone had a similar problem ??? We are now looking at doing a blow-back test on the engine, and possibly changing the cylinder head gasket, but it would be nice to get a clearer picture of whats going on before I tear the engine appart. Thanks !!!!
