Where to get cam swap done? 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be dschwied on  Mon May 10 04:35 CST 2004 [RELATED]


I'm thinking about putting a VX cam into my '92 240.

I don't have the time to do it myself, so I'm trying to decide what kind of shop to go to. I have a choice of the dealer or a private "Swedishmotors" Volvo + Saab place.

Dealer: Good 240 mechanic, and I have been very satisfied with past work. However
I doubt that they do very many cams. Would they be more likely to screw it up if they're "out of practice" or is cam work pretty standard?
Also, I'm not sure if a dealer would do this "aftermarket" job anyway.


Swedishmotors: I have been there before, and was impressed with the shop and the service manager, a bit less so with the mechanic. I assume they're more experienced with this kind of thing.

Any advice?
