So I ask this question as in the process of lapping my valves into my head I seem to have made things worse than what I started with.

With out going into details, I went to one of the local PNP today and pulled a used head off of a 2006 S60 2.4T

Its casting number is 1001837007.

The casting number off of my 2007 XC70 is 1001837009.

To my eye the heads look the same, the valve covers look the same, and the CAMs and VVT both look identical.

I'm trying to do my due diligence, but I'm leaning very much to cleaning this new head up and just slapping it on and calling it done!

Any one out here with a good reason why I should not do this, and why?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

    Except for the year difference, I don't see any problem. You are closer than I am, and probably have better eyes. Try a 'dry' fit without the gasket and make sure the oil/coolant channels line up with the block.

      KlausC,

      I haven't done a dry fit yet, but I wanted to correct something from the OP.

      I did more research last night and the head comes out of a Volvo 2006 S60 2.5T, not a 2.4T. If you trust Wikipedia, and I'm going to on this one, then it states that there was not a 2.4T made in 2006 for the S60.

      Now with that knowledge, I can safely conclude that the engine in both cars is the B5254T2!

      Circling back to your suggestion, I had both heads on the bench and the oil and coolant channels do line up so that too confirms that this is a good fit.

      Time to get this beast back up and running!

      Thanks for everything.

      Matt
