VolvoT5 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Ok here's an update.You know when the dealership asks if you can come down so the tech can explain what happened that it can't be good!! Bottom line... I needs a new motor!! I'm going in tomorrow morning for the full explaination. jwm←Sorry to hear that, I've been through it recently too. Least you'll get something new or low mileage - it's not all bad news.I've got a spare motor in my garage just in case of a major failure. Next time I won't be without a car, just a quick swapout. I'm also amassing all the major components too, just in case. If you keep your old motor, strip and rebuild it - and do the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwmerrill Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Here's the deal. The motor is definitely shot... blown head gasket, warped head, and something you don't see every day, warped cylinder walls. That sucker got HOT!! I've already spoken to Terry at VMS and a motor will be on it's way shortly.jwm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Samco, I think I'm getting a new hose. jwm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
