Unplug the VVT and use the head in a 1998 V70-XC70 1998

I don't know what happens if you 'unplug it', never tried that. All I know is that the computer goes nuts and the engine runs terrible - that could be a combination of the ECU and the VVT trying to control timing.

If you remove the VVT and the cam sprocket, replaced by the sprocket from the 98, that 'might' work. I don't know if the cam lobes are machined differently between the years.

Finding an automotive engineer or technical mechanic is in the works.
