Engine Compatability? 850 1997

The engine in my 97 850 just failed. I had the 2.4 Turbo, B5254T.

Will a B5344T fit in my car? (2002 S60)

    Engine Compatability? 850 1997

    If a valve dropped or there is some other head problem, just replace the head.

    If you spun a bearing due to low oil pressure, then you should get a new engine.

    If you wish to get another 2.4L light turbo, 1997 is the easiest. The 2002 will not go with your 4 speed tranny and the vacuum lines are completely different, as is the VVT.

    You could find another 2.4L block and put your head (refurbished) on it.
