  Volvo Cars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo until 1998, when it was acquired by the Ford Motor Company and placed in its Premier Automotive Group.
The Volvo design team invented both the 'safety cage' and 'crumple zone' concept, where passengers are protected in a strong, encircling frame and the energy of a crash is absorbed by destruction of the bonnet or boot of the car.
In the early 1970s, Volvo acquired the passenger car division of the Dutch company DAF, and marketed their small cars as Volvos before releasing the Dutch-built Volvo 340, which went on to be one of the biggest-selling cars in the UK market in the 1980s.

Although the B20A engine (delivering 82 hp DIN at 4 700 r/min) was still fitted in one of the 240 versions (the B20B with twin SU carburettors having disappeared for good), all of the other 240s were fitted with a new four-cylinder unit the B21-with an overhead belt-driven camshaft.
Originally, Volvo had plans to develop a new family of engines consisting of a four-cylinder version and a V8, an approach which would have enabled a series of common components to be used in both types.
A diesel engine was as important addition to the Volvo range since diesel cars represented one of the fastest growing segments of the European market.

 Chronology of Volvo Engine Development   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The design of this engine was unusual in that the block was assembled from a number of inter-connected pieces, vice the single cast block that is most common to the automotive industry.
Volvo's search for a modular series of engines ended with the development of 4-, 5-, and 6-cylinder designs -- the lineage of which can be traced back to the B6304 engine.

 European Touring Car Championship
The Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA) disqualified Volvo, because the 240 on Anderstorp was driving on unleaded standard petrol with an octane rate of 99, while on Zeltweg the car was competing with a prohibited size of the fuel tank and an illegal dashboard.
The rules of the FISA were the reason why Volvo retreated from the championship two weeks after the last race on Estoril in 1986.
The Group A 240 Turbo is a car with 270-330 (1984), 340 (1985) or 340-350 (1986) brake horsepower, delivered by a B21 engine with a Garret exhaust turbo, Volvo’s own intercooler, a patented Volvo water injection and an inhouse electronic ignition system.

A: The redline for a B230 engine is 6000 rpm, after which time fuel and spark is cut to avoid over-revving (note that the engine can still be over-revved during a downshift, though).
Buy a tired engine or cheap parts and you'll end up spending more in the long run or (and this is the really bad part) shoveling disintegrated bits of engine block off of turn #1.
Volvo does not recommend *against* using synthetic oils, but stipulates that they *must* meet the same quality standards as their recommended conventional lubes.

I am having trouble trying to figure which engine this is, as there are no stickers on it anymore.
The B18/20 is a older pushrod engine and the B21 is an overhead cam engine.
The 125 was installed with no front engine mount like the AQ130 but many of the other overhead cam engines like the AQ140 use a front engine mount.

 Older engine pics
If your considering converting a normally aspirated engine to turbo power, the engine block assembly from a B21A or B23A carburetor motor is a good choice as it already features lower compression pistons.
If the engine is dissasembled, an option is to drill a large hole through the block and insert an oil return tube.
Due to approx 15 deg engine angle, a turbo oil drain line needs to be positioned as high up as possible so oil has an unrestricted flow back to the sump, not trying the impossible of bubbling through below the sump oil level.

 Engine-SealsBeltsVent1
Volvo developed a damper assembly that fits onto exhaust cam that was retrofitted to 92's (if it was being taken to a dealer AND the technical service bulletin was performed) and was factory-fitted to 93's that allowed the 21mm wide belt to last 30K due to less cyclic loading on belt.
It is not as difficult as the belt on the 2.3 ltr 4 cyl engine.
A normal byproduct of a normal engine operation is "blow-by", or a slight leakage of combustion gases by the piston rings and into the crankcase.

 B21 Engine FAQs
But closer inspection revealed that we had merely forgotten to tighten the bolt that had been holding the fan clutch, and the pulley was sliding around on the shaft.
The belt will still be loose until you turn the engine over, but after the pulley has turned a few times the AC belt should be tight.
I dunno what the oil spec is for your engine at this time of year where you live, but I'd err to the heavy side if the manual gives you two choices, i.e., if the manual says both 15-40 and 20-50 are the right weights for your weather, I'd pick the 20-50.

 Volvo B21 Engine Tips
My own problem was that the mechanical fuel pump started to dribble 'gunge' out of the small (drain?) hole on the lower part of the pump casting.
I had visions of diaphragm failure slowly leaking petrol into the sump, but it was only engine oil being blown out by pressure which in turn was caused by a clogged flame trap up on the cam cover.
I admit I preferred the 144 except for the 244GL's overdrive, sunroof, height-adjustable leather seats and the (RHD) driver's footwell vent.

I was attempting to tell you we are not very Volvo literate here and we have no idea what the B230F engine is or the differences between it and the B21.
Granted, The Stahl headers look awesome, but I'm not fully engine literate so I don't know if the B21 header would have bolted up to the B230 but from the pic it looks like it does.
I also went with Unitek since Mike explained to me all the different header options that work with different engine combos and I wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting.
