The sages at Saab Central told me how to check quickly whether the head gasket had failed… pull each spark plug and shine a flash light into the hole to inspect the top of the piston. If coolant is getting in there, the piston will be washed and clean looking. Otherwise it will be dirty like the inside of a motor.

I did that, and all of the pistons were dirty. So what does that tell me? I’ve still got escaping coolant, that SEEMS to be getting out through the exhaust. Check out my videos.
