most of what you say keith is good advice but other stuff just aint right, the manifolds for one are the exact same, ive broken enough and changed enough manifolds to know, and as gavin said his 850 engine is a t3 type
as you are able to stick volvo data up, put some up that tells us about these strengthened engines
Sorry merc but your not reading correctly!
If you look at the Vadis chart for 850 model you will see that even as late as 1997 an 850 T5 from Volvo did not fit the B5234T3 engine from the factory, that was for `97 V70 only.
So don`t Lol as your T3 engine must of been put in as a replacement which is also why you say in your previous post that your rods are fine on 20psi and so are mine as well because of the T3 engine. Plain 850 rods bend........period.

Never bent any rods with my old 850 engine and that was running 320bhp and was heavily abused.

960kg,Our old 850 T5 had the B5234T3 engine fitted when it was bought new.
But it was a 97 model year.
Just been looking at a old volvo microfische and the part numbers for the connecting rod looks like it only changed in 2001 onwards upto then thay all had the same rod part number, 1270483

Our 1997 c70 engine t5 pre me7 had the same manifold as the 850 t5 ive heard lots of talk over the years that 850r v70r rods are stonger but still havent seen any comparison not to say they arnt but u till the proof in the pudding is actually shown its iust speculation
