    B18 and B20 heads 44mm valves?

    Can anyone shed some light on these heads I was given in a recent 122 purchase? The one marked 2TBG clearly has bigger valves. Outside of that I?m a newb with these heads.

    Welp this recent 244 I purchase has decided to finally leave my high and dry today... Driving on the freeway, I noticed the SRS and ABS lights came on, after taking my exit at a lower speed the car started to drive poorly, fuel cut out and rough idle. I decided to pull over to look at a few...

    240 M45 Gearbox - Identify part and rebuild question

    Upon draining my M45 I was greeted by a part that belongs elsewhere. Can anybody identify this part and what it does/serves? Also, it appears the 1st gear baulk ring and its retainer clip has come free, can this be repaired without removing the Mainshaft and pinions?

    Vol242vo's 1980 Cali White 1 Owner 242

    I guess I would consider this my 'once in a lifetime' find and thanks to the help of Patrick (Patrickstar) for notifying me about this 242 for sale locally. With all of the time spent on my last '80 Beige 242 I had no intentions on replacing it, it's a great car and I tackled all of the rust it...

    Found 2 Gems at the junkyard today

    Normally I don't go to the junkyard when the inventory only indicates a couple of 700s as far as Volvos to pick from. Today I was looking for a replacement door for my Tahoe. Being a Volvo addict, I couldn't possibly ignore the 700s after making the trip over. I'm glad I did, as I walked by this...

    1980 B21 Vacuum Part

    Can I remove this capped line? I assume it?s part of the EGR system? My thoughts are since it?s already capped, by previous owner, I could trace it back to the intake manifold and plug it there, thus getting rid of unnecessary crap.

    Welded Diff - Want to replace, what?s the best method

    I wanted to see how the previous owner welded the rear diff and upon opening it open it looks like complete garbage...not going for anything but stock at the moment. What makes the best sense as far as getting this back to the way it was? Replace the entire axle/rear from a donor or yank the...

    Zinc coat or nickel - Suspension Components

    Would love to hear your input, what holds up better, longer with regular daily use. I?ve read Zinc penetrates better as far as small pin holes or imperfections but nickel is more durable... Anybody have some of Ben?s parts that have seen some use? How is the finish holding up?

    Wheel offset fitment question

    I'm looking to put 16x8 GTA wheels on my 242. I've found in searching you can run 25mm adapters all around with the fronts et0 and the rears et15. Curious if I could run 4 'front' wheels with the zero offset (and wider lips)and not hit anything up front with thick enough adapters?
