    High Quality parts? Why not OEM?

      oem is just fine with me, but where do i get oem parts other than a dealer? also, i'm no volvo expert, so how do i know if a manufacturer really is an oem supplier of volvo?

      thanks

        ALL Volvo dealers will only order you OEM engine parts, never aftermarket and the packaging will say "Volvo" and/or whoever really makes Volvos OEM parts.
        I wouldn't ever consider buying aftermarket engine parts for any imports.

        BTW, Unless you're very experienced at rebuilding engines, I wouldn't advise trying it yourself. With your Volvo engine, there are several costly, required Volvo special tools needed to assemble that engine correctly (IE: "by the book").

        You'ld be better seeking out a good used engine vs trying to rebuild yours IMHO.
