I have a stuck valve and no compression in cylinder 3. I can get another 87 Max for $100, but do not see it feesable to swap engines.

I will not be parting this car out, however I may purchase the $100 Max to part out.

Anyway, I will be getting a 99 Volvo S70 GLT loaded by the end of the week with $800 trade-in from the Max.

 

Aw sorry to hear your Max is no more.

Your sideways Homer will forever be missed.

 

That sucks man, either way good luck the volvo. They are pretty nice cars despite thier size. I have a 97 960 Sedan, and they are really nice...especially for long trips and what not.

Yeah my mom had a 1995 850 GLT. They are great cars for road trips and all. Have fun! Sorry about your max.

 

Let me know if you wind up with a decent fuel pump from the parts car and a power window switch bank from the driver's door.

Sorry to see anyone's max die. That is why I am trying to get mine going again.

thought:

why not get a cylindar head from a $100 parts car and swap just that...seems worth it to me if thats the only major thing wrong and when you do it it would be easy to get a new timing belt on....just a thought

 

try fixing it, but if it gives you more problems, just get rid of it and get another max!

 

I already put $1500 in parts and shop time into the car. It's a great old car that no one has. I do not have the knowledge or time to fix the engine myself. The shop quoted me $1200 for engine work.
