Saving Kiloran's 940
Following on from Kiloran's thread where his engine has been diagnosed as toast he has employed me to save his 940!
The plan was originally for me to use a B230ET bottom end and source a 530 cylinder head from ebay etc to build up a 2.3 to replace the dead B200F. However when I mulled it over there would be issues with insurance, DVLA & blanking the turbo oil drain so I decided to have a look on ebay to see what was out there and there was a B200F for sale with a link to a video showing it running smoothly so he bought it and got it delivered to me. So the plan is for me to replace all the gaskets, seals and belts then once the engine is all done we will get the 940 transported to me and I'll swap the engines over. I've ordered all the bits I will need from Volvo... hopefully, we shall see what surprises it holds for me. The only bits that aren't Volvo are the air filter, NGK spark plugs, coolant and oil. Some gaskets and seals are coming from GCP so will be around 2 weeks before they arrive.
