Prostar and Volvo

[smorgan87]

Got another vote here on the cm871 powered prostar. Just be saving for the inframe as that its on the last qtr of its life. The 871's problem areas are the valvetrain and injector cam wear on engines that havent uhmm been africanized properly due to excess soot and roller width. Turbo. Vg rings can be funny but not funny haha so do a turbo inspection to include checking vg range of travel. I recommend doing a cylinder cutout test and cylinder performance test to see how those injectors are doing as that the cans and excess backpressure hide the symptoms.of a bad injector or timing/metering actuator. U just get crap mpg and until u run a buncha test or demandate it u don't know wtf causes it. The egr systems are prone to clogging up with soot because well thats what happens when ur engine eats its own crap, so again. Demandate or an egr tune up. Rawze actually has a prty in depth vidyo of a pre purchase inspection. Id siggest watchin it.
