I had a great picture to attach to it but a flock of chickens flew by and got my attention. Here you go...

Abscate, that wouldn't happen to be a driveshaft with 3 u-joints for an V70XC, would it? If it is, I want one! See driveshaft on the left.

CIK7, have you checked compression and cylinder leak down on this engine? That can tell a lot about the wear and reduced performance because of high miles.
