engine failure at 88K- worn/wavy cylinder walls V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Wormy J on  Sun Sep 26 10:45 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My friend has had his 2000 V70 since it was new.It now has 88,000 miles on it. It has been using oil for the past two months at the rate of 2 quarts per 3000 miles. Last week it failed to start. The shop did a compression test and found no compression ( or very little). After pulling the head the cylinder walls are wavy with no visable cross hatching. Any idea what may have caused this? Is this a common faliure? The shop and I tend to agree that the fix is a new short block as it is probably to severe to bore oversize.
