Getting near the end of the C70 stripping, not much left to salvage at this point !

windshield cracked when I almost had it removed

Picked up the cylinder head from the machine shop.
It looks brand new!

Looking at the parts drawing, I don't see a way to remove much other than the glass without taking the cassette out which unfortunately means the headliner too. If you go onto the Volvo OE parts sites with their parts layout you can see what I mean. Not great but you can see from this drawing from a...

Has anyone else been following FCPs 850 project on YouTube? They just fitted a custom ITB intake that has individual throttles for each cylinder and it looks and sounds sick!



They start it up around 18:40

I just replaced the worn armrest cover and wanted to pass along my results. I bought a cover on eBay for $26 (search for Center Console Armrest Cover Leather Synthetic for Volvo S70/V70/C70 93-01 Beige). You remove the arm rest, take it apart, pull the old cover off (glued around the edges), and the...

Le Mans is coming......... Ferrari wins pole for the first time since 1973. However, there is known to be sandbagging so that you don’t show your cards too soon.

So now I'm curious. Part of the point of " mass production " is standardization of parts, so why would factory engines have 3 different sizes, or weights, of pistons ? Different engines, sure. But if we're just talking about the B5234...... https://www.speed-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t...

There is a range for good parts during machining. They're not all the same. I've never been involved with grading within that range, but I've heard of it before with engines/cylinders.

It is a common practice of better engine design to sort pistons by size (diameter). Even the best machine practices will produce a small variation in size. By sorting and matching the engine gets a better, more uniform fit of piston in bores. Citroen may have been the first to do this. Honda was doi...
