Hat's off.

Tappets were in great shape, piston heads look good, no scoring. Looking at the valve heads you can see how bad the blow by was. Best place for milling the valves is busy for the next 2 weeks :( so I will be doing other things in the mean time like remove pistons and put in new rings! Yaaaaaay.

The Swede.

This is my 1967 Volvo 122S. She's beautiful. I bought her from a gentleman who didn't have the time nor patience to keep this car going. I was more than happy to give her a loving home.



The Volvo drove very well up until this last fall when she started getting really bad blow-by. Because I was attending school, I lacked the funds and time to start fixing her. It's a different story now...



The current plan is to start pulling the head tomorrow and begin replacing the piston rings.
