Re: Volvo 240 vs. Renault Alliance (R-9) 200 1988

Well, the engine stopped oiling last summer so all the rod bearings spun and smeared onto the crank. It threw it's Renault water pump too, but that got replaced. The crank was reground and new bearings installed, and voila, back just like new.

Try finding a Renault water pump... it isn't easy. The funny thing is that AMC used to be located 30 miles from here... Alliances were plentiful. Not even the parts yards have any of them left, and even on the streets of Kenosha, WI, home of AMC, there are very few of them. Mostly the first-run Jeep Cherokees and still a few 4wd Eagle station wagons with the indestructable 4.3L inline 6. But no Alliances. They are long dead. Which is too bad. I could've used lawn mower parts for cheaper than the landscape store was offering, but no luck.
