Cracked head, '83 turbo 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Sat Jun 23 11:39 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I may be looking for a replacement head to my '83 240 GLT (240K miles)and need advice where to look. The head should go to a B21FT. I understand that B21FT were only for '81-'83 turbo models. I had recently replaced the turbo and head. Immediately after the replacement, I noticed an overheating problem. Soon afterwards, it became apparent that the coolant was mixing with the crankcase oil. The shop that did the replacement recently went out of business, but I have been maintaining a positive dialogue as I follow his suggestions during the course of troubleshooting. The head he put on was a reman with a 12month/12000 mile warranty. I now have the car in another shop where the cracked head diagnosis was made. If I can't get another head through the warranty, I will be looking elsewhere either for a reman or salvage. Your advise would be welcomed. Thanks.
