Will a b5244t3 (01+) swap in place of a b5244t (00)?
It seems the b5244t3's are more readily available (and cheaper) than the b5244t's. Would the b5244t3 from an 01+ work in a 00 v70 xc or are there variances that would cause issues?
My car has a snapped timing belt and hopefully later today I will know the extent of damage. I may just swap a low mileage head on to the current block (190k+) but if there is piston damage a motor swap seems more economical. Any and all info is appreciate fellas! |
It might you just need to make sure the new motor is not dual VVT.

Understood. The pistons had numerous indentations caused by the valves but nothing detrimental as far as I can tell. I used a polishing wheel on a right angle die grinder and took the sharp edges off. I then followed up with a wet sand (400 grit and wd-40).
The pistons cleaned up nicely. I don't expect any hot spots leading to preignition. I plan on picking up a used head and going that route. Wish me luck :) |
Good luck you should be fine!
