I would very much like to see the analysis.
BTW I am a retired metallurgist/materials engineer and have done a lot of failure analysis on
oilfield and petroleum processing equipment as well as a variety of military aircraft and engines.
My experience with Volvo blocks indicates that they seem a lot less likely to develop a ridge at the top
of the cylinder. When I tore my first B30 engine down with 204,000 miles of fairly abusive driving
there was less than 0.005" of cylinder wear in the worst place, and no measurable wear on the crank.
I still have the block. Maybe I should knock a chunk off it for analysis before I scrap it out.
Any suggestions where to send it?
