engine questions
I'm looking at an 850 turbo wagon with 5sp manual. It's being auctioned off real cheap. The engine doesn't run however. Explanations are that it overheated badly. Owner says no compression on any of the cylinders.
What kind of damage can I expect internally? Would it just be a blown gasket and maybe rings (I'm guessing if all clyinders have no compression)? What else can get destroyed by over heating? I'm just trying to figure out worst case scenarios and maybe best case.
The car is going super cheap so even if the motor can't be fixed, the rest of the volvo is worth more than a couple hundred in parts. A motor around here isn't that expensive either. I'd like to fix it if its not a huge expensive undertaking but I'm trying to figure out what are the possibilities of damage.
Thanks
