I am in western Canada so Wisconsin is out of the picture lol

What abot if I were to install a running NON TURBO ? Would it still bolt right in? I know I would lose HP but for short term is that an option?

Thanks everyone. I will keep looking for a decent used engine, but in meantime I will try to see what happened here. I am going to assume right off that it is oil starvation. I had an oil light problem and fixed the PVC system. As soon as I fixed that I had a huge white smoke issue. I was taking the...

Well it happened. My engine is seized. I am wondering about what I should do. Firstly the car is a 98 Volvo V70 Wagon, Leather interior, Turbo, AWD with 5 spd :D What should I do??? 1- Haven't been able to find a used engine in my area 2- I have the skills and friends that I THINK I could do a basic...

Car is TOAST :? I put it all back together, started it up. No smoke YAY, but it was running like crap, almost like it was on 3 or 4 cylinders. I took it for a drive thinking I would clean it out from sitting. Engine stalled on me while driving on highway. It just died and of course all the dash ligh...

Thanks

I assume the right-angle turn is straight down. I will get a "bendy thing" to clean it out lol

Thank you very much

Mine is clean as far as I can reach my finger in (nothing like that picture) I am just wondering how big a hole it is between that hole an the other pic that jblackburn posted?

What have people been using to ensure that passage is clean? How big of a passage is it?

Ok so I am trying to ensure the PVC drain is actually clear. I can barely get a thin wire though the hole. How can I be sure it is clear. What size hole should there be? Does anyone have a view of the hole from the front of the engine?

Thank You I wish I would have checked that when I had the oil pan off, I scraped at it and blew some carb cleaner down it too. I was able to push the carb cleaner "straw" down a bit but not really easily. I have NO play in the turbo, not vertical or horizontal. But the turbo spins freely I...

The oil seperator only sucks in oil from blowby (from the turbo and top of the engine) and puts it back into the crankcase. Use a wire brush or something to clean out the holes in the block. I can't figure out how these holes are suppose to feel/look when clean. On the top one I can feel an indent ...

I am leaning more towards it being the turbo seals. The two main reasons are; 1- there was very little smoke prior to the oil light going on, as soon as I fixed the restricted oil flow it smokes horrible 2- the smoke did not smell sweet, it smelt "oily" I am still going to do a leakdown te...
