I have enjoyed the sight for several weeks now, and have came to the point I need the help of the forum. I have done a search and read all the pertinent volvo postings.
I am having oil being pulled into the carbs at medium to high rpms.
History: Rebuilt this motor about eight years ago. Bored to .5mm oversize, new pistons, rings, bearings, swaopped to two solex downdraft carbs.
Performed two compressionm checks, hot and cold. Psi ranged from 155 to 175. Engine cranked and otherwise ran well. Headbolts were all tight, headgasket was good with no identifiable problems to my eye. Valves look in good condition.
My questions are, with compression this good, can the rings be worn out?
If the valve guides are bad, how can I tell this?
El Pescador suggested marinizing automotive motors in an effort to repower. I an not clear, but will A B20, B21, or B23 automotive engine work? If I was to ask for a motor at the wrecking yard what exactly would I ask for?
Thanks for you insight and help!!
