Volvo 164E - catastrophic engine failure :( 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be cdu on  Tue Jul 29 11:31 CST 2014 [RELATED]

What's actually wrong with the motor? "Badly Broken" is a hard claim to believe.

Worn out cams, sure, I could believe that. That's an easy fix -- drain the oil, yank the lifters, get a new cam.

Broken cam gear, that's also totally easy to believe -- it is a wear item. If the shop doesn't realize the cam gear is just a big fiber gear, they may think it is a serious thing that it is broken.

Did you drive the car for a couple years with a broken front pulley damper?

These redblock motors are seriously hard to break. I want to see a picture of a broken crank or a connecting rod sticking out of the side of the block.
