531 head

Post by 360beast » 25 Jul 2014 09:58 am

Anybody interested in a 531 head?

111k miles
Came from a running 1987 760 tic
£170

Also have the rest of the B230ET parts available including a professionally sonic cleaned and honed B230 block which has been in storage for 18 months £50

Can deliver in West Midlands area for cost of petrol and I'm going to London end of November so can deliver parts then but would be collection from the airport at 6:30am :lol:

Garrett t3 sold
Complete bottom end Thododd has first refusal

The only bits that could be of any real use that are left are the 531 head and inlet manifold however there might be a few bits left just let me kniw and I'll see what's there.

There is someone interested in the head though, I'll add photos of it tomorrow as I didn't get a chance to dig it out today.

Now that it's in the light I'd say the valve stem seals need replacing and the exhaust valves are all diferent colours due to the spark plug gaps being way off.

Some of the pictures seem too big so are cut off.

If I'd have stayed in NZ it would be in my 360 already :lol:

You never know you might find one over there and hope they don't know what it is :)

Someone said the lean exhaust valve has had it and looks open, thoughts?

Any interest in the head? Have one offer a bit less than I want but still reasonable, one person doing a lot of talking but no offer yet so will be sold in a couple days if I don't get a better offer.

Thanks for looking.

So the 1987 B230ET spent 26 years in New Zealand and will now live on scattered across England.

All parts sold :D

531 head available again, £145 needs new valves but the face looks fine to me.

All valves open and close as they should, A cam still in head.

perhaps whoever buys it this time will actually pay for it.

Why does it need new valves? Unless theyre bent, a clean and reseat should sort them out...... it needs a good going over though

I thought the same Thomas but the self proclaimed experts on Volvo OC forum have said differently so I've put that mainly to stop their constant whining.

:lol: imagine the postage for this one Logan
