Volvo engines are not so bulletproof. More power and toasted exaust valves.. new D13 engines got many cyl. head issued. Wanna fix engine?

may be becouse we use russian fuel with sulfur, but we had some D12D cyl. head issues and many D13 engines with toasted valves.
Ok, about D16G/H, 750HP version is available now. With SCR. And Volvo engeneers say they can easily build D16 E6 adding twin EGR -

They had a first race last weekend, worked quite well, was very responsive, 3 bar boost almost immediately but still needs more development, especially more rpm to get wider power range. They estimated between 800-900 hp, propably going to dyno it this week. -
The problem I have had with the FH16 engine in heavy haul is that the head overheats.
I have seen this many times and it is expensive to repair.
A simple fix we do here is to replace the undersized air filter with a 18 inch unit and remove the restrictive exhaust silencer and replace with a free flow unit.
This works great and improves response and fuel usage. -
bad exaust valves and damaged head is the usual D16G problem, especially if driver keeps low engine speed with high torque
