To all the regulars out there-particularly you KlausC. With regard to my 95 855 Turbo. I know that you guys have seen some of my questions about my blown head gasket and warped head over the past few months, and I thought you deserved an update. I finally spent the whole weekend getting it methodically back together and "It's Alive'!!! After being laid up in my garage for several months-mostly due to my procrastination,it feels good to have the 855 Turbo running and RUNNING GREAT I might add. I have forgotten how FAST this car runs! I also took this opportunity to replace the front engine mount which in hindsight has been thunking for like the past 200,000 miles. I had a dealer check out the mounts several years ago and they said it was fine. Therefore I assumed it couldn't be a bad mount-Not So... No more thunking now. The car now has 293,000 miles and she feels like she'll go for the 500,000 mile landmark. Surprisingly, with the head off, I could still see the crosshatch marks in all five cylinders-Mobil One Synthetic must work!

Well, the next project is my Son's '95 854 for the oil pump o-rings replacement. Thanks for all of your advice. I probably could have done it, but it would have been a lot more difficult...

Thanks,
