Yao, while I appreciate your tremendous help on this board, I am offended by your saying I did not do a good job replacing the gasket. I did everything carefully and by the specs, including torques. I have been working on Saabs for 17 years and although I don't know everything about them, I do all my own repairs. I have replaced several other Saab head gaskets.
If you have any other ideas, I would appreciate them. I'm thinking that for some reason, I don't have a good oil film coating the piston walls, at least enough to provide good compression. That is why it went up to 145 when I added some oil. There wasn't scoreing on the cylinders when I had my head off. I am going to get some oil in the cylinders and see what happens.
