Guardian1974 · Nov 15th, 2018, 22:36

Hi, I'm looking for a Volvo 960, 3L Pre Facelift engine. REG: 1992
Car is too good to break so just trying to get it up and running again.
Any help is much appreciated.
Just the bare engine would do.

No the cam belt has snapped, tried fixing it but best option is to replace engine
according to my mechanic.

If the pistons only have marks from teh valves but no chipping then I would just change the head. Less work than a full engine swap

I should have a spare head about

Ridiculous price - considering you can buy a whole car for £700.
