So, I'm pretty sure the Cb is dead. I blew a head gasket about...a month and a half ago, but at the same time, one of my hoses blew. So, we figured the car was runnin' like crap for awhile, cause a buncha anti-freeze was sucked through the intake, cause you can smell anti-freeze out the exhaust. well, about.....2 1/2 weeks ago, car seems to be suckin' anti-freeze pretty quick, and it start boggin' when it gets warm. Checked the oil, it was fine. No white spots, blah blah. Well, checked it Sunday. Looks like vanilla icing on my cap. Thick as hell. Car's tickin', but I couldn't tell, cause my exhaust is pretty damn loud. (no cat) So, pretty sure the block's cracked, and it's the end of that engine. 
But..the body of the car itself, is in tip-top shape, so...I'ma save a few bucks and drop a h22 in it, around Spring. 
Gotta few questions though. I'm sure there's already threads about the H22's and all, but...which is the most preferred? I have a 91' SE Automatic A6. I've read that the tranny will bolt on perfectly, engine will fit on the mounts already on the car, yaddah yaddah. Any sensor replacements? I know you gotta switch ecu's. Any reprogramming? If anyone could help me out on a walk through the installation, and the stuff I'd need to make a clean swop, and which H22 is preferred and not too difficult, that'd be awesome.
