The new DIG-T 117 PS features a number of technical innovations which allow it to deliver a spirited performance while maintaining high fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. These include:

14. Rancho Machine went through our 853 heads, cleaned them up, and surfaced them just enough so we would be assured of a good head gasket seal.

My 2000 Volvo S60 saloon at 86,000 miles has developed a throttle hesitation when being driven at all times, engine hot or cold. When out of gear the engine revs freely. The hesitation is brief when applying throttle, but is worrying as it gives the feeling the engine is stalling and feels is not safe to drive. Once the engine picks up, it accelerates normally. This hesitation happens at all speed levels when applying throttle. Have you any advice as what may be the cause please?   

1. Millions of LS engines have been produced, which means that parts are easy to find and pretty easy on the wallet. The “economy of scale” also helps lower the cost of new LS parts like this 5.3L GM block from Summit Racing. It priced out right around $300, which makes it one of the best deals around.
