Volvo Parts
I am looking for a reconditioned cylinder head and various gaskets. (for volvo 343)
I have tried a few places on the internet without luck. Does anyone know a good supplier that I could try? Also does anyone know of a company in the south east (prefrably surrey) where I could get a head skimmed? Any suggestions would be great. Cheers |

RE: Volvo Parts
You may find it difficult to find a supplier of a complete head, I doubt they would get much demand.
If your head is salvagable, then a skim (any engineering works), clean, valve grind and new seals should work wonders. Otherwise find a similar one on the scrap yard, it should be ok, but watch out for rusted in studs for water pump etc. Euro car parts should be able to supply a head gasket kit. You do find that car places are run by old men who don't know what the internet is. Try yellow pages (www.yell.com). 1.7s are a but more troublesome than 1.4s, so exersise extra care and hear it running first if its a 1.7. |

RE: Volvo Parts
Orlando engineering in Eversley near Fleet (off M3) can probably advise you as he is a 340 specialist
