Yes that's the car.

Injectors were last checked May 2007 143,000 miles, apparently got the OK.

Valve adjustment: Records show head gasket replaced May 2008 158,xxx miles. Repair invoice calls out $475 sublet "Machine Shop Rebuild Cylinder Head," hopefully this included valve adjust. New HG looks to be a 3-notch fiber type, invoice shows new bolts. Retorqued 1200 miles later. Is it worthwhile checking the valves again, approx. 15,000 miles later? Can the VC gasket be reused? Previous valve adjusts: May 2007, 140,000 miles, Nov 2003, 85,xxx miles, Oct 2006 65,000 miles, Jan. 1989 33,xxx miles, Mar. 1987, 17,xxx miles.

GPs are a matched set, as far as brand/pn: Bosch 0250 201 032, but different ages. #1,2,3 are brand new, #5,6 replaced May 2000, 65,xxx miles. GP #4 (along w/ #1,2,3) was replaced Nov 1997, 58,xxx miles. Given that #4 currently tests OK, could it still have eroded to the point it is affecting compression?

Compression tested recently June 2009, 170,xxx miles.
385 400 455 380 400 395, might be worthwhile pulling GP #4 just to see if there is correlation there.

Found a local source for the vac pump mount o-ring, ($2, seems reasonable enough, we'll see if it's the correct shape) Larrys Volvo, pass right by it to/from my daughter's school.
