Default Another valve

I have a 245 GL 1989 bought new. Converted to LPG 125k

The first engine (B200E) lasted 496k miles. One valve replaced 350k miles

I put in a second hand engine ( B230E). Did'nt know its history, but just to give my Volvo man time to rebuild a other B230 engine as I could not find anybody to bore out the 200 to 230!

The B230 engine blew a valve at 20k after fitting. Head refurbed. I was asked if I wanted new insterts, I said no as all heads were hard. Mistake, I have compression down on two cylinders only after about 10k.

Time to get it sorted again and get FLASH TUBE.....Ordered!
