Got the head back today from the Machine shop. Done a good job with the valves etc and only £200 the lot including full gasket set. Beat that Mr Volvo!
Any how, had a word with the man that knows about the burnt valves etc. He said that it looks like the compression was too high with too much boost on the turbo, running slightly lean. So Mr volvo, Sorry to curse your engine so much, its not all your fault. Still should have produced the AQ145 with injection and turbo in the first place. If I can do it in the garden shed then with all the money you make on spares, you could do it in your lunch hour! Still wont buy another Volvo powered boat tho.
Smile. its only money!
