87240gl Quiestion is does 531 from a b230ft head work on on a b200e from a 360glt i know the blocks and everything are the same but is the combustion chambers the same? Thanks :)
87240gl Obviously.. was hoping to find out so i could order headgasket kit prior, i think il just put the b230 in. Cheers
Anthony A 530 head is likely the best solution and commonly available. As Nicko says, the combustion chamber is the reason: 530 combustion chamber 92 mm wide. 531 94mm. Double checks: - ensure valves do not hit the smaller cylinder bore of B200. - With Head gasket (B200) ensure both oil and cooling ports align with 530 etc and are not partially blocked, modify gasket a little.
Anthony Dauntless;56664 wroteIt should fit and work fine, but won't be ideal. I'd just throw in a B230. Or even a 16V B234F
Philia_Bear The 360 wants a B254 penta motor more then any other Volvo High reving and low torque is ideal for the life of the M47 trans
