As suggested on the Brickboard and in the archives (mainly referring to 960s with block problems), I had my mechanic remove the intake manifold and put epoxy on the crack after grining it down. So far so good 1 week later.

As I mentioned before my wife loves this car and it is in great shape with approximately 180,000 miles, probably averaging less than $1000 per year in maintenance and repairs since we bought it in 1999, although this year I spent about $2000. I only do minor service myself like oil changes, tuneups and brakes. Still cold original AC, original transmission (flushed occassionally), quiet interior (rubber door seals good). It's the GLT (light pressure turbo) and I enjoy the acceleration when I get a chance to drive it. However I am more comfortable in the 240 and 940 seats which seem to be a little bigger and further from the steering wheel.
