[DML] Re: Welding the head (domestic Volvo replacements)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

I envisioned domestic replacements. Overwhelming majority over here
were 240/740 series (with turbo 4), but 6 cylinders can be found --
sometimes on eBay.

BTW: did Volvo B28F use valve covers embossed with name, as on 4
cylinder, or are they plain like ours? Black painted embossed covers
look sharp enough to consider replacing.
