Bought 940 GLE w/ some problems. 900 1991

The main problem with the car is that the head is in the trunk ;)

Just picked up a 240k 91 940 that bent some valves when the timing belt failed. The p/o had the head fully rebuilt and it looks like an EXCELLENT rebuild job. For the price I got it for, I probably couldn't have even gotten just the head rebuilt!

I just have some generally 940 questions, like general things to look out for on these cars other then the obvious belt failure problem. I'd like it to get running and reliable if at all possible before I even think of putting a small block in it.. which is what I *really* wanted the car for anyway.

Any and all advice is appreciated.
