Hi guys, Long story short, I blew the head gasket on my 89 c900 Aero Turbo. I didn't know what had happened but I believe the engine is hydro-locked (Massive clunk when tried to turn over, and then just wouldn't turn at all) I have a 88 c900 EMS 2.0 N/A with low KMs and a very nice gearbox...

okay before you guys yell at me for putting this in the mods section.... here's the deal. Last night I popped the hood and tightened up my BSR optiflow intake (sometimes it slides off the tubing). I woke up this morning, backed out the car from the garage and everything was fine...
