What are the special features of a J block? I seem to remember something about oil injection, but I don't find anything about it on the brickboard. I spent about 20 minutes becasue I'm curious, not consumed with a need to know.
I've got a rebuilt 740 turbo (not by me, I was 15 when it happened) with a J block. The mechanic who rebuilt it couldn't find a used turbo block and so he reground the original. Driving 120 miles with no water will crack your block. It still drove to the mechanic's. Gotta love Volvos.

any help is appreciated.
