    740 Looking for a Brick-competent shop to do Valve Adjustment

    I have a '92 745T with 192k on the clock, and a clackety valvetrain under about 1200 RPM. Already done a little research on valve adjustment. IPD rents the shim kit, but no tools, and I'd rather not improvise there if I can help it. Between accurately measuring the shims, installing new...

    740 Coolant hard lines / heater return lines?

    The goal is to replace the coolant hard lines that run along the block of my '92 740T, since they were rusted through and bypassed prior to my ownership of the car.

    940 Buying a turbo wagon with a slipping transmission... what to do?

    I'm a noob here, so be gentle. Subaru guy, but my dad has always been into Volvos. His automatic 92(?) wagon has a slipping transmission, so I was considering taking it off his hands before he sells it to his mechanic friend for a grand. I'm starting off my research into a manual swap (m47?)...
