Cousing informed me of some poor sap selling a 1991 940 turbo. Ends up 2 hours later and 150 dollars and i drive (slowly) this bitch home : ). Has a dead cylinder (#2), oil leaks all over the place, and some valvetrain noise(not so bad).

someone was lazy and decided to never change #4 cylinder spark plug (different plug)

Sweet ------- grocery getter.

Everytime I see one of those, I think of the Volvo from one of Slo13's (?) video. The one where the brick drifts around the corner of the building

 

Cool ride.Fix the motor and reef the boost.I need to see some more of those videos of the Volvo those were ------- great.

 

damn valve seals were shot in that bitch ... you ganna rebuil or just buy a used motor
?

 

I expect to see videos of this thing getting sideways very soon

 

Trying to locate a compression tester(that works) and see where to go from there. I was hoping of doing plugs andvalve clearance tommorow but it turns out that these cars use shims instead of a adjusting screw on the valves : (. I will end up just getting it to start and stay on and just pass it on to some poor pancho who needs a ride, turning around a profit (500 or so).

 

5.0

 

Hell thats a nice car for $150 Change those plugs and try and tune it out a bit more and hopefully you'll have a top notch turbo Volvo!!

 

If i can get this car to run reliably (find why #2 is dead) i plan on keeping it, dumping the current crx and saving up. Either in the end buying a mint *** crx(under 80k) or some new car. Anyone have any tips on getting valves unstuck?

 

You suck REALLY BAD at taking pictures.

Good luck with her
