That is why we stress knowing the maintenance history. Sorry to hear your bad news. It is a real pain to fix, worse than your S90.

It might be cheaper to find a used engine and do a swap than trying to 'repair' the head. But the T6 engines do have a history of blowing headgaskets, so repairing your engine might just be worthwile, just a tad expensive. When you remove the head, inspect the piston crowns for damage. I suggest if the crown has a dent, just throw the engine out and look for a donor engine.
