Brake Problems!

I have a 1991 Volvo 740 GLE (N/A). My front brakes are sticking. The conditions that it happens in are: 1. Under any de-acceleration. 2. Use of the brakes. Also whenever they stick I have to smack the brake pedal hard to release them. After I release the brake pedal it comes up slowly and makes a po...

Re: Whats the Best way to get more?

REALLY?!? With all the "experts" on here no one has any idea what to do to my motor to make my B230F faster? Maybe I'm on the wrong Forum!

AQ171C Crank and Heads on B230F

I read that the AQ171C is a B230F motor in essance, but with DOHC and with 2.5L instead of 2.3L
How can I make it work on my car?
1991 745GLE 215k

I'm trying to build my car as cheaply as possible with as many parts as I can get off other cars.
Any help is definitely appreciated.

Re: Whats the Best way to get more?

I've been looking at a couple things and I found something interesting. Volvo penta motor AQ171C is supposed to be a 2.5L B230. With a 16v head and a different crank. Does anybody know anything about this? If I can swap parts? How do I get mine to a 2.5L?

Whats the Best way to get more?

I have a 1991 740Gle. I love the car and see its potential but I hate that it is gutless right now. What are the best things to do to my motor/car (B230) to give it some power and drivability? I frequently drive paved and non paved narrow mountian roads and if I can do this right I'd want to enter i...

I need tool advice

I have a 1991 740. My front Crank and Intermediate shaft seals need to be replaced. Last time I took of my balancer it cost me a 120+ bucks for a new crank time gear because I broke the key. I was able to torque it down right this time because some one had a chain wrench. But now I don't have access...
