Re: Volvo Penta AQ 130 camshaft

Volvo Penta AQ 130 camshaft

hi Alacrity,

as ever with any engine i buy, its always a full strip and rebuild then run it, i prefer to know that the engine is as new before i put to sea, bit daft to my mind to just check carbs, change box oil and then use, lives depend on these things.
