Thanks a million for confirming the boost gauge issue i will run the hard plastic lines in the near future I am guessing that the last owner replaced the cluster with a HPT cluster like you did. I have the dipstick tubes in place for both the oil and trannny but i went to a volvo junk yard and asked...

Yea Kcodyir, I love it LPT4life! Do you have a boost gauge and Does your boost gauge still work? Another project that i have put on hold is fixing my boost gauge which is permanently stuck a little past neutral. I've read somewhere that this model does not have a boost gauge, i'm thinking either i r...

That Low Pressure Turbo from my original engine got rebuild and put back in. I didn't mention it because i haven't had any real problems except the one line that took me ages to properly secure from around the air intake area to the bottom of the newly rebuilt 13G Turbo. When I really think about it...

Update! Finally got her working ok not quite perfect yet My ex-Mechanic knows nothing about Volvo's although he claimed to. Maybe he was a Volvo Truck mechanic and the skills don't transfer well. It took him over a month to get the car to start, and there were several issues. I wish i would have jus...

My Mechanic is almost done with the swap and I feel real bad because the wiring harnesses where in his words "totally different" one had 8 wires and the other had 9. Just in case anyone has this question in the future.

OK, so my mechanic has the subframe out and already replaced the new engine and attached it to the tranny. I'm real bad with a camera sorry about the photos, Thanks for the advice. I ended up having to buy new axles because mine where shot but the o2 censor was fine before and should hold up 1.jpg 2...

Yes sir,

I ordered a complete timing belt kit, Rear Main Seal, PCV, oil pan liquid gasket and o-rings.

Rebuilt the Turbo and bought some replacement studs for the exhaust manifold.

I will pick it up this Sunday or next and post photos!

Thank you for your comments and suggestions onboard refueling vapor recovery, has nothing to do with engine. Transitional low emissions vehicle, does have to do with some equipment fitted to engine, secondary air pump system in this case. The 97 GLT and 98 GLT are the same engine as Erik said so dro...

I have no clue why I have poured so much money into my 1997 850 GLT ,but I just might be able to drive it again with some help from a kind soul or two. it is my fault that she threw a rod though so i guess i'd feel guilty if i junk here when it wasn't her fault. I got a salvaged engine and while wor...

-Thank You very much!

Hope u find ur leak!
