Engine replacement
Vincent Whipple via CarKB.com 13 April 2005 17:57:03
	I recently blew the engine in my 1987 760 Turbo. The turbo seemed to be working fine. What is the best replacement engine? What type of milage shoudl I be looking for in a used engine? How much should I look to spend? Can someone recommend a good inexpensive Volvo mechanic in the Louisville, KY area.

	It should have a B230FT engine. That is all that is available unless you want to swap out for a small-block Chevy or similar. Cheers, Peter.

They rarely completely blow, unless you overboosted and broke a rod. The engine from any 740 or 760 or 940 Turbo from '85 to '94 will drop in. Mileage shouldn't be a big issue if it's in good shape but I'd generally look for something under 200K or close to whatever is on the car already. Prices will be all over the map, I wouldn't pay more than $350 myself but that's just because that's what the local yard here charges for them.

	Thanks I think I did over boost it. There was a big whole in the side. Where can I find one of those $350 engines . -- Message posted via http://www.carkb.com

Pick A Part in Olympia, WA gets them occasionally. There's two Pull A Part yards in Lynnwood and Everett that fairly regularly get them but you have to pull them yourself there. As a bonus the engines are only $150 though, but the turbo is invariably gone already.

	I have recently purchased a second hand engine for my MG TF 52 reg ( the old one has failing head gasket!) it has only done 7000 miles as is perfect order. A local garage is telling me that the mechanical fitting of the replacement engine is easy but compled because of the diagnostics (electrics) etc systems. Can ayone advise if this is true or otherwise

	Isn't replacing the entire engine a bit much, just for a bad head gasket? I realize that we're talking about a mind-engined car here but still, it seems like overkill to me.... Dan D '65 MGB '76 MGB Central NJ USA

Yours is the first TF I've ever heard of to have a HGF! It used to be a common problem on the MGF before 2000 when they fitted plastic dowels to locate the head on the block. Post 2000 they went back to steel. I had HGF on my old 97 MGF the main dealer was quoting ВЈ1500+ but my local independent, who's been servicing my cars for years, Quoted me ВЈ500 all in. In the end the bill was ВЈ483 and that included all the parts, labour and a head skim. He also replaced the cam belt while he had the old one off. I was off the road 3 days. Head off on day one, take to whoever did the skim. Day two head is away for skim and pressure test, delivered back to garage just before closing. Day 3 head replaced and car returned. As you've already bought the engine I'd simply take the head off the new engine and put it on the old one with a new gasket set as there's unlikely to be any damage to the block, unless this failure is very different from the run of the mill failure. Why would you go to all the grief of swapping the whole unit? -- Regards Nick
