I see FCP is back ordered on Genuine Volvo Head Gaskets and EEuro want $71.67 for them.
So, I guess I will go with a head gasket from Elring or Victor Reinz. Does anyone have thoughts on which one is better? The price is about the same.
I am amazed once again at the beautiful cylinder condition on this B230 NA engine with 235K miles on it. There is virtually no ridge on the cylinders. It has had Mobil 1 oil for the last 137K miles which may have helped keep them in good condition but it may just be the great design of the engine.
