Wow!

Without knowing compression specs. and other main details a lot of guessing is what you'll get. The smoke is the scary one. I'd want my money back from the ones playing process of elimination. Doesn't anyone test before they replace anymore. The fouling plugs and spewing smoke would make me: get a rebuilt engine, or get a 'good'(tested) used engine. And a dependable mechanic, one committed to Volvos.

If all else fails, add a can of compression.
