Volvo V-6 POS Engine. I had the displeasure of fixing one after it got overheated and warped the heads.
The Head bolts are Stretch & Degree Torqued. They want the entire set replaced after taken apart. The car was a trade in at the Grey Market Euro Import Dealer I worked for. The cheap bastide owner wouldn’t pay for new bolts. I told him NO WARRANTY on My work and it will be in a Legal Document if I put the old ones back in.
Coddled together off shelf parts pile to make the POS. Robbed GM,Volvo,British brakes,BOSCH and LUCAS (Prince of darkness) wiring and I forget what else..
I’m thankful that I only had to work on that one, one time.
