At 430,000 with dead cylinder: Rebuild or replace with a used motor (or a remanufactured one?) 850 1996

Hi Hugh,

Yes, I think you are approaching this endeavor in a correct way.

In my rummaging around on the board there has been a lot of references made towards an outfit down in Atlanta, Georgia called; http://www.voluparts.com/

A few Bricksters have dealt with them and from what I read, the words are giving favorable results across the whole spectrum of Volvo cars models?
Mostly itโ€™s for hard to find tiny parts of a last resort nature. The place might be huge and into recovery and recycling?

Put them on your list to check out.
Ring their bell and talk personally with them and feel them out.
I have not had any dealings with them but I keep registering up posts in my memory, on different tabs on the Brickboard and have no idea how much business they do?

Maybe they can offer you more options beyond our way of thinking?
You know in the way of a heads used or even rebuilders of engines.
Even kick-in the idea of a complete replacement unit, wheel to wheel.
A lot less hours of labor that way!
The Bolt-In-FWD designs were ripe for the manufacturers. Why not for you, since the rest of the car is great!

Itโ€™s just a thought fir another good engine setup, to take care of, for 2-300,000 miles? ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘
