Hello linc,

You do'nt have to worry about the crank, I have seen forged cranks pulled to 9,300Rpmīs (hardened and balanced, but in all other aspects OEM).

But an advice would be to use the late B230 rods, (grind the journals to that size(and if you want, use the extra 5mm stroke that is possible with that)).

Those rods, correctly prepared, can certainly take the "heat".

Note: bearing spin isīnt a known Volvo problem as far as I know.
