I was wondering if anyone has an idea where you can find a decent head for this car what websites if any or if you or someone you know may have one, I am in Canada so as long as shipping doesn't kill me I'll buy from anywhere. I found two small cracks near the left cam where it joins with the cam gear. I doubt this is repairable, also has anyone here used the Victor Reinze gasket kits? How where they? And how was the quality?

Clearwater Cylinder Heads located in Florida has been very popular on this forum, although I have never used them.

I only use OEM Volvo for the head gasket and other gaskets.
