I have a 99 V70R. I just took out the motor cause I was going to do pistons and rods. Well my friend has a 99 T5. His car has 250k so he wanted my motor and I would rebuild his. I am just wondering if anyone knows if there is any diffrence between the 2. I dont want to give him my nice motor if my head is better or something.

there is no difference, but I would recommend rebuilding your motor...it's not crucial, but I know I feel better tearing into a motor that I've driven on and know the condition and treatment of.

'00R is the only year that the R engine is different from the T-5. 2.4 vs. 2.3, balanced internals, 19t and green injectors.
