1994 940 overheated and now coolant mixing w oil

Post by Cutterrr »

This is my first post on this site. I recently let a friend borrow my car to pick up her son and that same day I was fixing a friends car and I needed a hose clamp so I took one off my Volvo and forgot so the car overheated really bad so the next day I looked at the oil and it was milky. I ordered a new gasket and put everything back together and in still getting coolant in my oil. I have a new head but it’s off a 2004 940 turbo wagon and my 940 is non turbo, will that head work on mine cuz I’m pretty sure thr head I warped.

Ooof, that’s a cruel punishment for a good deed.

Usually turbo heads and non turbo are quite different. I’m not familiar with the 940 engine line though.
