Bert, I guess I have a lot more faith in the toughness of the redblock. My 1980 245 M46 has seen and sees redline on a regular basis - now with 300k on the clock. I've owned it since 124k and it's had an oil change every 5k or so with Castrol GTX since then. It shows oil pressure immediately on start up - no rod clatter or any other untoward noises (except for the obvious lack of effective hushers). The ability to really use the motor to full advantage is one of the reasons I've stuck with (not exclusively) Volvos these past 43 years. -- Dave
