Best Engines for 900

"6 cylinder reputaion is mainly based on the 760 PRV v6"

There were some significant problems with the early I-6. The alumnium alloy from which the blocks are made was prone to oxidation, exacerbated by using certain types of anti-freeze. The result for many owners of these cars was a block that hemorrhaged anti-freeze.

If memory serves, Volvo replaced quite a few engines in early 960s. I believe that the problem had been abated by the '94 or '95 model year, but you can check the FAQ for a more accurate account.
