Yes I did it I warped it by overheating so it can not be machined.
This is my project car and it is almost finished but this has halted my joy for now.
I am in search of the cylinder head or another car, will discuss any options.
I do have a line here in NH locally for one but putting all my irons I can in the fire, so to speak.
non-turbo, Single overhead cam
2.3 L, 230 F engine with dist on the head.
Any questions or if you want POICs please ask!
If there is a good one out there please let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help.

 

I went to Maine this weekend and picked up this part from a great man I met who is also a Volvo lover and saves parts from scrapped vehicles. Such a treasure trove.
I got an inside plastic piece for my 740 as well. He has a lot of them coming and going from his place.
A gold mine for me.

 

Took it to the machine shop. They reported no cracks it pressure tested well, it needs about 1 sheet of papers thickness milled off of it and it needs a valve job so I am very pleased to report it will be ready early next week to install.
So excited I haven't driven it since April!!! I got it's vanity plates too GLDBRIK!!!
