I am in need of a good engine block: a B280F block from a Volvo 780 Bertone or the Eagle 3.0 block would be great if someone has acquired one for a swap but didn't end up doing it. The few blocks...
Thanks, I figured as much. Seems any method of repair would cost more than it is worth with all things considered, so I'll have to look for a good block. Sucks because I sold a perfectly good block...
Have have two PRV blocks, both of which were left with coolant standing in them for an unknown amount of time. The coolant has eaten its way towards the cylinder liner as you can see in the photos. I...
Disregard this question. Upon further inspection today, some of the metal shims are broken, so it?s back to paper!
When I am ready to reinstall the liners, can anyone tell me if I am fine to reuse the steel liner seals/shims that were originally on the liners when I removed them and should I use hylomar on them?...
It would seem to me that all one would have to do is compare the weight of the new vs old.
Thanks for the insight fellas, I 'preciate it. Just dashes wants $2300 + shipping to restore the pad & glove box lid and while the money isn't a problem, the 4-5 month wait, is, and that is if I got...
Correct, looking for actual dash pad options. So I guess it is either Just Dashes, DMCH or recovering the damn thing again.
I've been out of the loop for some time, and since I've been installing some electronics under the dash, I feel now would be a good time to replace the pad since the covering I originally put on it,...
Wow....you do realize that lots of companies pay marketing agencies and this is the result of what the marketing agency did, and not Josh/DPI - who I'm sure have nothing better to do, right?, did...
A ring gear is $180 + shipping, then all the work to remove the old and install the new one and then balance. A refurbished flywheel is $300 so it might not make sense to go through all the ring...

You don't mention what the fluid level was when this happened. Yes, there are linkage adjustments that can be found in the manual. One thing that helps a lot is to replace all the bushings throughout...
Long shot I know, but I'm looking for a FPR from a Volvo B280F (1987-91 Volvo Bertone). Figured with conversion attempts someone might have one sitting around. I had mine rip on me so I installed my...
I'd take the spark plugs out and disconnect the coil. Then crank it over and see what happens with the oil. Without compression, it will spin faster and reduce the drain on the battery.
I used gasket shellac compound, as suggested in the CIS Rebuild PDF linked to post #2 of:

Unless it's 5% limo tint, leave it on. I think almost all cars today come factory tinted, and it does make a difference with heat (I used to live in Sierra Vista AZ), less UV on your interior when...
I see you've removed your eBay listing now. By the way, you can buy an entire 760 for under $1500 over here, $2100 (starting) over there (with 74KMI) so I'm not sure how an engine/transmission combo...
Don't do it. I drove my D daily for years, including winters, while living in upstate New York. The frame and everything bolted to it turned into garbage. The car was great in the snow, but terrible...
The transmission would be useless to us and the PRVs in the 760s are not drop in replacements for the DeLorean in that the lower crankcase needs to be changed. So a DeLorean owner buying your engine...
Did you try adjusting the pots to see if you can resolve the loss? (If not, see VR sensor section of your hardware manual for the procedure)

MAPP gas works wonderfully if you use it with a TurboTorch tip.
^Agreed^
80% of the people who see the car remember it "from that movie..." or it's "the Back to the Future car!", 5% know what it is from other experiences in their lives and 15% don't know what...
Take it out completely.
