Two questions.

Are any listers aware of where in Canada I may purchase a set of rod bolts for my B20, other than at Volvo? The outfit in Prince George that is rebuilding my engine asked me if I could find a set.

Also, I will be putting new piston and rings in the old girl. The block has had a previous rebore of .030 over, and needs to be redone. The rebuilder has a set of Mahle .060 over and a set of Chev .060 over, miles apart in price. Two local Volvo hotrodders have strongly endorsed the use of the Chev sets, having had very good experience with that choice in their own engines. I am however not clear as to what advantage, other than price, that the Chev sets present. Do any listers have experience in this matter that they might care to share?
Thanks
JD
