[DML] Re: PRV's -- DeLo vs Volvo vs Renault

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In all this discussion I forgot to mention one significant difference
among PRV's: each end user had its own gasket set. Only the castings
are basically identical. Peugeot and Renault are supposed to have much
sturdier head gaskets than Volvo. I'm guessing DeLo inherited the
weaker Volvo set, given the number of head gasket problems reported on
the List.

Renault also had it's own intake manifold O rings. Are square cross
section, not circular.
