Building a Volvo B230 16-Valve Turbo Engine: Part 1
I think this is technically the second episode of what I hope will be a cohesive series about my Volvo 142 Turbo project. In this video, we'll assemble the B230 bottom end that I've had in my garage for a couple years. It's getting lots of shiny, upgraded parts that should make for a durable path to a 400 horsepower Volvo.

PROJECT INTRO: Resurrecting My 16-Valve Turbo Volvo 142
มุมมอง 1.8Kหลายเดือนก่อน
After letting it sit for nearly 5 years, I'm jumping back into my favorite project car. In this video, I'll give you a brief history of my 1968 Volvo 142, and start the process of swapping the engine.

A Little Snow Will Change a Trail
มุมมอง 2.4K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've made a couple videos of this trail for the channel, but never in the snow. This is just a short video of a trip up to the top in my Discovery. Hopefully the forecast is accurate and we get some real snow soon. If and when that happens, I'll go do my best to get stuck.
Discovery in the Woods
มุมมอง 3.9K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Shannon and I checked out a new zone in Lane Country, Oregon. Finding some rocks to slide around on was cool, but finding dozens of bottles and cans was not. People need to do better. Anyway, these trails (tracks if you're Australian) weren't bad, but I'd say they were close to the limit of what I'd want to do with 33" tires. I guess the Disco needs 40s...

    Hey mate, imo I used hd flanges for a couple years and found they chewed out splines on standard cvs because they are a harder material. I recently rebuilt the whole front end hub to hub and decided to go back to standard flanges as they are easier to replace. I find the genuine rubber caps have never cracked or come off for me. Just food for thought, love all your videos and how you make them keep up the great work 👍

    Im sure its a troll, BUT :) the split washers is a locking washer tha is designed to bite int the contact surface and henc locks it in place. if you place to the contact surface, it will bit into that surface and ruin the pain/powder coating. So thats why there is a flat washer for it to bite into. :)

      As far as the radius arms themselves are concerned, I have no complaints at all. They seem plenty strong enough for me. I do think that 6 degrees MAY have been too much, because now with the 4" lift, I get a slight vibration coming from the front under acceleration.

    Great vid, a quick mention on the "silicone" we prefer to use gasket sealer. We have found, at least here in Africa, with loads of water crossing the "paper" gaskets seem to seep. And looking at the state of you, they looked quite good. So maybe it was gasket sealer. Top tip. keep them well sealed and well-greased. That will extend the life of the shafts and members.

    You asked for critique on welding so I’m really nit picking for this comment and I’m 100% not hating because it’s awesome seeing supporting mods being done. I personally wouldn’t blow cold air on that weld, I’d let it cool down slowly in its own time. You’ll probably be okay, but quickly cooling welded metal can cause brittleness and fractures.
