I also think 435 hp is too much for the design and block capacity...




What do you think is enough from this block then? I have 350s' and I'm starting to wonder.

Currently, 'Houston - has a problem' with a bearing failure which Volvo say is a 'one off' and not heard of before on D6. This is at the drive plate end damaging the bell housing but not the leg U/J. Had problems getting parts from Sweden because that had not supplied them before for D6 which sort of confirms their surprise at this problem.

For the record, Volvo have been extrmely helpful on this, constant liaison and really pulling their fingers out to help, parts arrive on Monday! They couldn't have done more, so a big thank you there.

Starting to get worried... I rubbed my eyes this morning and saw nothing but Bloo dots. Does this mean something?
