B5254 T2 Motor for sale

Location: Winston-Salem, NC $350 OBO.
Local pick up/delivery preferred, but willing to consider shipping.

Fits cars with a “59” as the 6th and 7th digits of VIN
2.5L 5 cylinder, dual variable valve timing, light pressure turbo motor
Motor was removed from a wrecked 2006 S60 T5 by the previous owner. Mileage is unknown.
The motor should be a drop in replacement for:
2003-2009 S60 2.5T, front or AWD
2003-2008 V70 2.5T, front or AWD
2003-2007 XC70 2.5T AWD
2003-2006 S80 2.5T
2003-2102 XC90 2.5T AWD

I purchased the motor as a package deal with a 2001 S60 T5. This motor is not a replacement for that car so I rebuilt the original motor.
The motor turns freely.
The motor should be considered a “short block” with all attached components needing to be transferred from another motor. However, the timing belt drive is present and will remain on the engine. There are a variety of parts that have been removed from the motor that I can likely include if needed. The turbo turns freely and is for sale as a separate item.

How many miles on the engine?

I can only make a guess at the mileage. The motor came with a car that I purchased. That car was taken off the road in 2013. The owner bought the motor intending to replace the motor in that car. He said the motor was in a 2006 that was rear ended and totaled. That car would have been on the road for 7 years at that time, say an average of 15,000 miles/year so maybe 105,000 miles?
Let me know if I can provide more detailed information or photos. If you are really interested, I may be able to do a compression test.
Thanks, John

Yes, send me the compression readings.

Well, a disappointing outcome to the test. I set up a leak down test. I am no expert on running this test. Even when I think I am at top dead center right on, when I apply the air pressure it always makes the engine turn. While holding the crank in place while applying the air I could develop pressure in cylinders 1, 2 and 4, but 3 and 5 leaked. 3 through an intake valve and 5 through an exhaust.
I don't know if this is a condition caused by the motor sitting and if it would improve if run. Having said that, I would figure that the head would need to be gone through before it was installed in a car. With the manifolds off you can see the valves, but I would doubt that you could improve the condition in anyway, but happy to try ideas.
Thanks for asking for the numbers, I would have hated to have misrepresented it's condition. And I certainly am glad to have not installed it in another car!
Free to a good home? Happy to help load it! Otherwise, it may be on the way to the junkyard.

Ok no problem! I’m still interested in the Engine! I’m located in Richmond Va

I have attached a few more photos.

Engine does turn over easily by hand, spark plugs look good and are Volvo branded.

Let me know if there is other information you need.
