2001 V70 T5 Rebuild engine

[Cerutti]

Hello folks.

Let me ask you another little help, if possible, of course

I need to buy some parts to rebuild my engine, according to the garage, it got broken due a fuel injector problem that caused it to throw too much petrol on the cylinder and it screwed up few (expensive) parts. I have two doubts.

First: Some of the codes they provided me, match cars like v40 (on the piston rings for example). Are the parts number provided correct?
Second: Can I find non OEM parts with some reliable quality? The prices for the parts are really out of my budget.

Situation's overview
To machine the engine cylinders and crackshaft, parts and service, I will have to pay around 8000 USD, which is indeed out of this world...
I didn't find any T5s in scrapyards around here, also, Volvo brought around 60 units of my car here. S60 is a bit more common, but not in scrapyards (I'm searching for parts since February).

What options you guys would take in this scenario? I thought about buy another engine in US or Sweden, but as I'm in good old Brazil, import taxes will be 61% over product + shipping.

I wouldn't go that route. Try finding another engine anywhere in the country. Shipping included you'll end up cheaper. Or sell for parts and buy another car.

Engine gasket set can be sourced from FCP Euro in a non OEM brand such as ELRING.
Around $135.

You would require the sump o ring set as a separate item:
Around $14

Also a set of injector seals also from FCP Euro
Around $70

For bearings use a company called Glyco. They've been making engine bearings since long before I was a kid; over 50 years.
Around $200 for main & conrod bearings.

Piston rings from a company called Hastings. Look at their online catalogue.
Around $150

Fuel injectors of course buy genuine Bosch however you can source used ones from eBay or USA dismantlers.
Around $150 for the set

Conrods look on eBay for some forged examples for Volvo. I've also seen some nice forged conrods on AliExpress for about $60 each for T5s

As far as machining find a place that will do the job and then find someone else who can help you to assemble at a lower rate. I can't see anywhere near $8,000 even with 61% duties.

Have you considered assembling it yourself? It's a great way to achieve a quality engine and learn about them.

Thank you very much Mike

I would love to build it myself, but I live in a 50 square meters apartment with a tight parking spot :-/

I will try to find a cheaper place anyway. I don't have such amount of money hehehe

Used engines, with approximately 100,000 miles on them, can be purchased in the U.S. for around $1200-1300 US. Add shipping and that outrageous tariff and you would have about $2500 total in it???? That might be way cheaper than trying to rebuild your existing engine. Given the cost and the logistics hassle, might it not be more practical to scrap the car and buy something else - and not one that only 60 units were imported? (I don't know what a decent used car would cost in your locale.)

What happened to your engine? Did the cylinder flood with fuel and bend the rod when you cranked it over?
