"I am curious to find out if my engine is a aq130 a,b,c or d. Is there any EASY way to tell what it is? I think that it is the second motor in the boat and it has b20 stamped on it. It has a 270 outdrive, two solex carbs if that helps. It runs great at 90 psi....anyone?!?!?!?"

"I was just reviewing past postings and found one from June 25 2006 where el showed where the brass nameplate is. Found it, aq130c/270. Does anyone know why this runs great at 90 psi when it should have to be at 170-200 psi?!?!?! Thanks"

"Aaron, 170-200 psi would be acceptable for 'New' motors. I've just been looking for info also on the AQ130D (mine has a case of water in the oil! Still troubleshooting) and I've discovered some news to me about it. It seems that the "D" /280 was made mostly for the U.S. market, and according to the SELOC '68-91 Stern Drives book, had a CR of 9.5:1 (thus the high numbers for PSI you quoted)[the volvo flyer says 9.0:1]. I'll guess the reason is because 102 Octane Rating gas was easy available here in those days ('75-77). If yours is running nicely at 90 - why complain. An "E" model ('73-74) was produced for the U.S. market and Europa racers (auto) with CR 10.4:1 (and with intake valves 11.6% bigger than 'D'), but who wants to be mixing fuels to get the higher Octane in order to keep from 'pinging' & engine damage? Most autos these days are running around CR 8.5:1 (the "B" model had 8.4:1 per SELOC).
Good luck with yours."

"Carlos,

First, try to find


"Carlos,

First, try to find the brass plate riveted to the engine block that has engraved the model of your engine. Check this link to find out where to look for it:

The important thing is to verify that you have an AQ130 engine (a B20, 130 HP Volvo Penta). If this is the case, either of the three pumps at the top right of this link will work:

"I rebuilt my AQ130D myself and it kept blowing out the felt seal on the timing chain cover around the crankshaft end. I was told it was because I honed out the cylinders instead of boring them. I had it professonly rebuilt and 1 year later the seal is leaking again. Does anyone know of a fix or mod for this? Thanks, Mike"
