Hi there. I unfortunately made my engine toast in my 1998 V70 XC, (yeah its an V70 XC AWD,) as much as I said I wasn't going to. I'm presently in South Georgia (Tifton, to be exact... middle of nowhere mostly) and am attempting to locate a decent, used engine 'with a warranty' as I am NOwhere near given up on this car.. Yes, I was stupid, shouldnt have drove it with iffy water pump but oh well, now i"m making decent headway in arranging a new engine to go in. Key is satisfying the financier that its a RELIABLE used engine.

Any listings, anything with decent shipping, talk of a warranty... are welcome. Kind of like this one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-98-VOLVO-...ZW5vSP&vxp=mtr

Milkshake (mixed) oil.. Car won't fire but does crank.. That pretty much spells death for the engine, "Don't even bother trying to rebuild the engine just get another" - Or. Since the experts are here.. This is the best thing to be doing, LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ENGINE?
