At 430,000 with dead cylinder: Rebuild or replace with a used motor (or a remanufactured one?) 850 1996

Phil,

You and me think alike. I did put a call into them as soon as I received the diagnosis of a possible burnt valve. I have purchased parts from Voluparts on multiple occasions. It has helped me obtain parts that Volvo doesn't sell anymore. I have spoke to Melvin, Jesse and Bill Eidson the owner on numerous occassions. Bill asked the phone when I called to see if he had any used 850 engines. Sadly he did not and told me I will be hard pressed to find one because of the number years that have passed and the fact I am limited to:late year 1995 850s, 1996-97 850s and 1998 S/V70s. So far, though I have not given up looking, he is right. The bulk of the 850 engines I have come across have north of 200,000 miles on them. But I have not given up.

Hugh
