So I bought a 98 V70 with bent valves and I wanted to fix it right without spending and arm and a leg on parts. Factory valves are $90 each and the valves at the local parts stores are $15-25. That's a HUGE difference in price and I'm worried that the aftermarket parts won't hold up. Anybody have any experience with this? I would love to save hundreds of bucks on the valves if I can but I don't want to have to tear back into this thing 6 months down the road. Any feedback good or bad will be much appreciated.

 

I have heard that it doesn't matter as long as they fit. Sorry to say but I hope to never have to find out. I would feel safer getting aftermarket valves from www.iPdUSA.com, FCP or some other Volvo parts supplier.
