1989 760 turbo rebuild

posted by  someone claiming to be Bryan on  Mon Jun 27 19:28 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello all,
My 760 blew a head gasket,B230FT, (200,000) and need to rebuild the Garret turbo while I have it apart. I need a good recommendation for a turbo rebuilder in So Cal that someone has used and have at least had on the car for 1 year. I have heard of a few guys having them rebuilt and have them fail in less than 1 year. I also need a good machine shop for the head,surfacing,valve grind etc. Should I replace the exhaust valves due to metal fatigue? Has anyone ported this head for more breathability or just leave it as Volvo manufactured it?

Thanks
Bryan 1990 240 270,000, 1989 760
