i have a 95 960 wagon. i have 2 motors for it, one is a 93 out of my moms car, shhh, dont tell her, she just thinks the car runs quieter now.

both have bad head gaskets. right now the 93 motor is in the car adn the 95 is on the floor in the garage.
i just pulled the head off the 95 the other day. man what a pain with it not in the car.
here is my delima.
the cams, dual over head, ride on the top of the head, but instead of some type of journal that bolts them down, the top of the valve cover is machined for a precise fit that bolts them down. there is a sealant very similar to 574 that seals the machined part of the cover to the head.
first off, does anyone know for sure if these heads can or can not be resurfaced on the block side?

suppose the head was warped, like a bananna. that would mean the cam side is warped too right? and if the bottom was machined, when the head is put back on, the top will still be warped and could cause the cams to bind or wear sevearly, no?
would i be better of to clean up the head and try to put it back on without machining it?

i dont want to put a lot of money in the car, but otherwise, it is just junk.
i tried to part out my moms car and around here, ther volvo market is just not there.

gaskets and bolts are less than $200 on pelican, but a new head is, i think, at least $800, but i have not looked for one yet. i certainly dont want to put $1000 into the car.
