Nah that gasket was prob legit.

centason · Feb 17, 2015

Cylinder walls look good. That's a plus. Still a nice crosshatch.

i hogged the intake and exhaust out a little bit. didn't get too crazy though.

i got the head back today. opened the holes a little bit for moar flows. the machinist said everything checked out alright! i put the new head gasket on, head and cam torqued down, cleaned errthang. gotta do a couple odds and ends and itll be boosting soon!

Remember, this car is #rare. Don't treat it like ur jeep.

Manbeard · Feb 21, 2015

hahaha my goal with this car was to get it running, (eventually) put a bigger turbo on it, exhaust, suspension, and wheels and just drive it! in the mean time, after I get the 940 legal I'm fixing all the little piddly things in my jeep and selling it. then getting an xj or tj so I can still wheel but won't have a payment.

also. the Volvo runs and boosts now! got everything put back together now. gotta mess with ignition timing to get it exact (didnt have no timing light handy) but its ready! gonna see if I can throw it on the dyno at work to get a baseline and to see if its close or better than the stock 162hp rating it got from the factory. I'm excited

Xj! Xj! Xj! Xj!

Especially seeing as they're nowhere near as rusty down there.

Ignition timing is not adjustable on LH2,4 cars, at least not by turning the distributor. If it runs, the timing is correct.

did not know that! thank you, you are a gentleman and a scholar!

slow240 · Feb 21, 2015

yeah if its not running right, you have another issue. but if it seems to be running well, get a wideband in there and turn up the boost!
