Yeah, I just saved a D24 powered Silver '83 245 at Volvos Only where I work.
The owner noticed huge puddles of oil under her car but didn't add any to the engine. I told her she needed to check the engine oil every couple days. Her engine ran strong started right up in cold weather and was only 192k old. front main seal went out... The timing belt was soaked in oil and about to snap but she siezed up the motor saving the head for me.
Anyways, I replaced that D24 with my old D24 from my yellow wagon. It had been sitting in a barn for almost a year. Shoved it in and Fired it right up! I was amazed because when I ran that motor I always had a hell of a time starting it. I thought low compression... Well yeah... So before I put it in, I soaked the cylinders in ATF and did a quick valve adjustment. I say quick because I need to go back in there and adjust them further as I didn't have enough of the thinner shims. Man, such a solid running engine that one. Its for sale at Volvos Only now. Rich wants 1950$ for it. Its a good price!
