Default 16v cylinder head or complete engine wanted

Hi all

I’m desperately needing a 16v cylinder head or even a complete engine which would be suitable for or to replace my Volvo Penta AQ171C marine engine which I understand to be the B230 block

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated

Thank you

Nick

Default aq171c

I will have a aq171c head for sale shortly. As you know they all suffer from exhaust port corrosion but this one will all sorted. and freshly refurbed. I can even deliver it to York as my brother in law lives there.

The valve seat on number 4 cylinder has self destructed. The engine had only ran for one minute after a used head from the US was installed

Fantastic, very interested - what sort of money are you looking for and when would it be available?

Many thanks

yeah that's the one, if you find another engine and you have spare a aq171 rear thrust crank and pz camshafts available let me know

sorry to hear about your troubles, is that down to the port corrosion that i keep hearing about on these heads?

Thanks
