The heads been steam cleaned, covered in oven cleaner then steam cleaned and gone over with a wire brush.
![]() ![]() Next thing to do is to get the injector holes pluged and welded then I`ll get it skimmed. Once skimmed I`ll be porting the head ready to have the valves lapped in. Just need to locate a "H" or "K" cam.

I'm watching with interest, waiting to see how the wheels turn out. Did you try the fronts with the rim flipped on the center ? I did consider doing that on my 940 but decided to keep the new wheels standard and get stupidly expensive spacers !
Are you anywhere near Andover ? Last edited by Steve940estate; Jan 16th, 2015 at 09:47. |

No I didn`t try flipping the front centres, I moved the centres back so I did`t have to run wheel spacers as I`m not a great believer in them.
The rears came back from banded steel wheels today, They where collected on Monday and delivered back today, fantastic service ![]() ![]() Job for this weekend is to prime and spray them. I work just outside Andover and live in Romsey.

That looks brilliant. When I tried my wheels on the back it looked like there would be enough clearance to leave the center and get them banded like you have.
I wondered about flipping the centers over so you get the whole inset outwards but didn't want to cut my wheels up to experiment, just wondered if you tried it. I think they would have ended up too wide. Look forward to seeing them painted and tyres fitted. |

http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=222113 Arntz... You do not happen to have some pics when fitting this fuelpump? Did you use only the original fuel filter in the engine bay? Last edited by skidje; Jan 20th, 2015 at 19:25. |

Looks good i may have to get you to make up some adjust plates for the 940.
Pity you haven't fitted a threaded tensioner of the strutbrace, but looks very professional. |
