cool.

flush the cooling system and watch it closely. That crap floating in there could be oil and you might need to retorque the headbolts.

LOL...where are you at? There are lots of independent saab specialists. If oyu do it yourself it's not really a flush...you'll just run water thorugh it.

There are no stupid questions. It's just sometimes diy is not the best way. A cooling system flush is one of those things which is best done by a pro with the proper equipment.
