Hi, I am willing to buy an engine (probably a high compression electronic fuel injected 8V B230/16V B234) for my 360 from a junkyard. I had an unsuccessful search to know where to find the manufacturing date stamped on the engine block and/or the engine code. The only clue that I have is that a 3 di...

Great info jtbo :D ! I am now searching for all the possibilities to do this swap correctly and whithout any problem. So I want to prepare everything (buy the engine and all other stuff needed ...) before next summer to be able to finish it at the end of the summer... Electronics is not a problem fo...

Excellent idea mate...thanks a lot jtbo for your help...I really appreciated :D Before I go for the B234, I have some questions that have been already answered in other topics for the B230 Engines but here I believe that it is different for the B234... 1- Can my B19E oil sump fit the B234 ? 2- Do my...

I didn't find the answer for the main question...I don't think someone has used a HIGH compression engine before... "I will go fo an electronic fuel injected 2.3 litre HIGH compression engine without Turbo...which engine is the appropriate one to use (engine code/compression/bhp/torque) ?" Thanks vo...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help :D Problem solved...the engine is running again with new exhaust gaskets :D Concerning the engine swap, I think that I will go fo an electronic fuel injected 2.3 litre HIGH compression engine without Turbo...which engine is the appropriate one to use (engin...

Thanks a lot "Ride_on" for your reply :D It seems that this plug is designed to pull out of the cylinder head if the water freezes in the engine... I have purchased the plug from my Volvo dealer :D Oh yeh they do have one ! :lol: I drilled a hole in the fitted plug...put in a screwdriver...and pulle...

Hi guys, I have found a water leakage in the cylinder head of my B19E under the spark plug 2 and between the first two exhaust tubes... Is it a cap that I can change ? How can I fix that ? Do I have to weld it ? Sorry to bother you but I can't use my car anymore :cry: until I get this issue fixed :o...

Cheked the manual and it should be open at 92°C (B19E)...I'll check the fitted one...like you said, it should be the wrong number... Is there any problem if the engine runs cooler :oops: ??? As far as I remember I changed the gauge temperature sensor with one that has this volvo part number : 460191...

Anyone has an idea about this ???

Any suggestions guys ???

I have the same question about the teperature gauge...

Hi all maniacs ;) After one week of immobilisation, I checked the water level in my water box and noticed that it was empty...so I filled it up and cheked for all the pipes...nothing...so I looked at the water pump and saw this suspicious brown color on the casing...from where could escape the water...

Hi all,
I have these two connectors in my engine bay and I wanted to know for what application do we use them normally ???
Thanks for any info
David

Okey...i'll begin searching for these "glycol mounts"...
But if I do not find ones in a good condition (since the 360s are very very rare over here)...Is there any other alternatives ? Like fitting some mounts from more common volvo's (200,700,900 series) ?!
Cheers
David.

No problem... So you are saying that the better mounts that can fit my B19E are these "glycol mounts" and they also replace the role of the mini shock... On which cars (engines) these mounts were initially fitted ??? Can I find some new ones ??? And if not, how do I inspect used ones to see if they ...
