[DMCForum] PRV-3



Forgot to mention: last 100 miles or so from SEDOC were surely made on
3 cylinders, based on engine temp (spark plugs become amazingly cool
after they melt & stop firing) and lack of
whatever-you-call-spontaneous-combustion sound. Yet car was far from
limping. Bit slower from stop light but passed people effortlessly on
road. Fuel economy shot to pieces (11-12 MPG). Odd firing sequence
(passenger bank every other terminal) is probably only way I was able
to get away with it.

Think PRV gets a bum rap. Am very impressed myself. Disregard HP --
let's talk torque. On  all 6 cylinders car has no problem accelerating
UPHILL even with A/C compressor engaged (4th gear). Did it many times
this weekend. "Internal" water pipe not exactly the brightest idea,
but will live with it over what some of my fellow highway travelers
must have  under their hoods. Why else would they ALL start bottom of
hill at 75 and fade to specks in mirror by the top? 

Oh, from Volvo manuals: PRV looks totally out of place in conventional
front engine layout. Think it's the U pipes. Might look OK turned
around...
