Timing belt/Interference Motor
My timing belt snapped on my 1990 B230f engine. My mechanic advises that engine is now toast and requires head/valve replacement. He indicates that 95 % of all engines of this type are terminally damaged when this trauma occurs. Advice from the those who know. Help!

find a new mechanic. this one knows nothing of volvos.
the only 'interference' engine in the redblock lineup is the B234F DOHC 16V. ALL the rest are completely non-interference, and you just need a new timing belt (and tensioner, and probably should replace the engine seals if they haven't been done in awhile, ditto the water pump, as its all exposed when you're doing the timing belt).
