Ultra rare 2.5ltr cross bolt blocks

Postby MFaulks » Sun Feb 21, 2010 1:42 pm

Out of interest, as we seem to be into how many of, and following the recent trend in the press.. how long before we run out of X.. and I've eaten all my jelly babies, I wondered how may of the ultra rare (no longer growing on tress) 2.5ltr turbo cross bolt blocks are around / left, and where are they? Does anybody actually know how many were originally produced, would be very interesting to know?

If you don’t know the differences, then you probably better off that way before getting pulled into the murky world of the PRV, and getting absorbed in to the collective…

From what I know, one resides with me, and previously scraped one.

Clee?

And, any others in the club or lurking on the periphery?

Thanks, so on the Volvo side that will be the 760 /780 only then.
Do you have a number for the head gaskets for the later engines on 91 bore, did they have the revised water flow control and steam holes?
