i had a bad spell with mine, too.
She ran really great for 4 years with no problems, but then all of a sudden it was everything at once.
Head gasket went.
Water pump went.
Bad ground shorted out DME (which also took away my PowerProm priveleges for awhile).
Then the unthinkable... timing belt/cam failure.
I considered parting her out... but decided to have the engine inspected just to see what the damage was. "only" one bent valve. I decided to stick with her and have her repaired.
I am glad I did.
