Hi Dan;
Sounds to me like the Saab has a blown head gasket. Any time the =
engine gets hot enough to loose all it's coolant one can reasonably =
expect a blown head gasket and perhaps a warped head. I find your =
statements about your Rocc confusing. First you state that " the rocc =
didn't need anything" then you say "I want my rocc back, all it's faults =
seem so minor now"

Well, it's offical, drove the Saab to CO from NM and left the rocc =
there. I definitely got the bum end of the deal, the rocc didn't need =
anything, the saab needs work. The hydrolic clutch, which I now think =
were designed by the devil, just doesn't seem to disengage to shift. =
It's really bad when I have to shift often, otherwise it's ok. The fans =
died, making the car overheat and spew all it's coolant all over. I =
wired the fans to the headlights and figured I'd just drive with the =
lights on. Well, that didn't work, it promptly blew out the headlight. =
On top of that, I see occasional white clouds coming from my exhaust =
now, not constant, just sometimes. The timing and fuel mixtures are so =
screwed that the car pretty much sucks ass for power and speed. Ugh, I =
want my rocc back, all it's faults seem so minor now.
