The $450 Volvo S60 Flip Is FINISHED *Cam Seal REPLACEMENT*
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2019
- The 2001 Volvo S60 2.4t is finished! I bought this car for $450 just before the police towed it away for not having a tag. A few weeks later and a little over $1,000 in parts and it's ready to hit the road again with new front struts, PCV system, cam seals, timing belt, battery, headlight wipers, and a fresh oil change. All that's left is to sell it (but I enjoy driving it so it may hang around for awhile)!

the elec starter WILL bend the valve stems if its out of time by more than 2 teeth.
Valve faces are hardened but stems are not.
Rotate the engine twice BY HAND ONLY, then recheck to make sure the timing marks still align, if so... then and only then, attach the battery terminals and crank it. You may think the cams are locked so they can't move, true but the crank can move.
slow down, you're doing good work.
Good job all in all.
Oil filter tip--crack it loose, then use a gallon Ziplock bag to cover the filter while you remove it. Once the filter is off, zip up the bag, toss the whole thing, and you're done. Without the used engine oil running down your arm.
Except on this car, you replace the filter element and re-use the housing :P
Yup, but the Volvo is a cartridge filter... gotta remove the element, clean the housing, replace the o-ring, then put it all back. 😂
And less things to throw in the garbage.
Me -: Will definitely use that in the future when applicable!!😀🍻
Definitely good advice that I will use.
Those 5 cyclinder turbo volvos are super fun! I have an '06 XC70 and its a blast to drive. Also the volume dial does work 😏
1:55 if you were lucky, the coolant level sensor didn't broke this time when you pulled on the wire. But it will the next time: always disconnect the sensor connector first before lifting the reservoir. Remember to mark the gears as shown, so many people removed the gears without marking, lost the timing and could not place them back correctly
Great save, " keep it, sell it, pass it on, do what ever you" nice video thanks.👍👍👍👍👍
That radio control that you mentioned at the end reminds me of the old school headlight switch that also adjusted the dash lights from the 1970's and prior. The cooper coil can be cleaned a bit but really, a whole bunch of fast twists back and forth usually got it somewhat working again.
I like to see a car refreshened like you did this one. Some owners just don't want to spend any money to keep a car maintained thus it becomes unreliable and it's life gets shortened. This one should run fine for a long time to come - like, a new lease on life.
This will help me when I go to do mine on the 850 someday. Great video. More Volvo videos welcome.
Gabe doing all the work while JR keeps saying "WE" are doing this and that. Everyone needs a Good Buddy like John Ross!
get this man a supervisor position
I'd say the work on this one was dead even 💪
@@WatchJRGo Filming is hard work. I'm just supporting our veterans, JR. When is Gabe getting his own Channel?
Gabe is a great guy .
Hey, Old Guy here again. Please open the garage door before starting engines. I shudder watching you all breathe carbon monoxide.
That's brave to verify that everything's OK by cranking it on the starter! Better to pull the plugs and wind it over by hand for a couple of turns using a socket and wrench on the bolt on the crank pulley, then check the timing marks still line-up and tension/tensioner is still good.
If you're just changing the belt and not the seals, you don't need the cam-lock tool. You can release the tension in the cam pulleys before you remove the timing belt by winding everything 90° past the timing marks then winding back to the timing marks.
This is probably the best video on these Volvo cam sprockets. Thanks
I loved this video. My favorite videos are where you take a car that needs help and breathe new life into it. They make me think that I could do that too with a little help from friends.
Jeff Cold: 😉🍻
You are killing the title game in the intros! Absolutely love them.
Glad you basically saved her I’m sure she would of ended up at the junkyard in the next couple years if you didn’t fix all the problems
CrazedSymptoms:😉🍻
You talk like this piece of shit has a Vagina !
Excellent instructive video, without getting too technical.
Thanks! Mostly wanted to cover how to re-time the VVT pulley, the rest of it was pretty standard stuff 🍻
I'd like to see a timer in the background to see exactly how much time you guys spend on these projects. Please.
Hours and hours, probably a good 5 or 6 on each day we worked on it 😬
Adis Dervić: Oh so many!
@@WatchJRGo That's not bad considering what was done.
These guys know what they’re doing, and they show correct diagnosis and successful outcomes, I haven’t seen any disasters, but they happen when purchasing cars to flip.
walter kersting: 😉🍻
can't get over it. Everytime I see you I think of "The Outfield" "Posion" and all the 80's lol..
If I see them I think of Hall & Oates. 😁
Your S60 looked so good to me that I thought it was the much later version! The paintwork and the interior seemed to be in excellent condition too. We have a 2001 S60 since 2012 (256,000 km on the clock) and it was losing engine oil last week and our local repair garage put 4 liters in to get us home (24km) The repair cost 1,200 zloty (About $300) here in Poland, mostly labour for the new camshaft seals and engine oil as well as a new timing belt. I was most happy to pay after watching your video! That was definitely not a job for me! Although in my youth, I had a Ford 1600E that I had to take the engine out as the clutch, flywheel starter ring had become detached, in one day, including taking the bus from Abingdon to Oxford in England to an Engineering workshop and waiting for them to shrink it back on for me! (I had a Nylon double block hoist on a scaffold pipe across my garage while standing on the wings over the engine bay) Thanks for an absorbing and enjoyable video that convinced me it was not a DIY job for me! I can only imagine that your S60 has great acceleration? As ours will beat an Audi or BMW away from traffic lights any day on the original clutch!
$300 is a great deal for all that work, wish I was in Poland!
Took you awhile to edit and post this video. That’s what you get when you stay up all night on a marathon live chat lol. Nice live by the way!
Great job guys. When your ready to sell let me know. That would be a great first car for my daughter.
With bottom mounted filter. As long as the oil cap is off you can take a screw awl or other pointy thing and poke a hole in the filter and let it drain out the bottom on the center. You can smack it with you palm and it usually goes right through. Way less mess. Also works for side mounted stuff without getting a ton of oil on the motor.
Great video! I paid my mechanic to do my cam seals when they started leaking lol. Cool to see how it’s done.
Logan Abner:😉🍻
Great job you guys and great video. I have had a passion for Volvos since the early '80s. My sister bought her first it was an 81 2 door 240 dl. Mother of pearl white with tan leather, manual 5 speed with a push-button overdrive. That thing was solid. I would like to know when you sell the s60 although I have really been looking for an s80 V8. See one of those to flip let me know if you don't tackle it. Love the videos JR! Goodbye to that day job you will do much better @ this full time, Good for you!
Well done Gabe!!!!
Phillip Claridge: Thank you!😉🍻
Thank for the guidance. I am currently doing my PVC on my 2001 V70 CC. Nasty job. Plus the car was "molested" before I got it. Been sorting out problems for a few months. People should go to prison for what they do to cars. Every time I would start it the throttle body would blow off the air hose. Sure hope all the PVC helps that problem. I think I need a little extra Swedish vodka before I take on take on the timing belt. I used to work on 911 engines and timing those cams was easier. Better access to the work area. I got the parts from FCP Euro, and those people are great. Glad I found you, FCP told me about you.
A very nice, informational job on the Volvo, gentlemen - & a shout out to #FCPEuro for providing parts & sponsorship for the video.
And at no time did I break a sweat watching :)
Gabe - you've GOT to tell us where you get the pop culture tees! Inquiring fans(well, maybe just me) want to know! Coolness factor: 12/10
chemxfan: One of the locations is “Inkfidel.com”
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 Thank you - I'll check them out.
Wowza, you guys made that look so easy! I've done the PVC (oil trap) job myself but, that whole cam seal variable timing part scared me from attempting... Thanks for sharing and I agree, you should have kept that car. My wife's 2004 S60 2.5t has been a great car and it just hit 200k miles. Maybe if I watch this a few times and find the one you guys watched I'll attempt replacing the timing belt.
Best Quote! "Let's send it man"
I never ever ever want to work on a Volvo. Hats off to you two gentlemen.
You know what’s harder to work on than a Volvo ? That Audi in his garage lol
Pops Smith:😂🤣
a nice car again, with some money, love and some time. Enjoy.
Good video! Maybe a bit off-topic, but I saw some guys on the internet replace the messy oil cartridge on a Mazda 2.3L (as on the 5) with the adapter from a 2.0L (as on a 3) and then, you never have to spill oil everywhere
That old seal still looked good, I bet you could have slipped a screwdriver behind the cam pulley and popped it back in. But you did the right thing and you know everything is perfect now.
They really did just looked like they popped out, might as well replace them since I had the parts 💯
Nice job JR and Gabe
_Ketosucks: Thanks!😉🍻
Such a clean car now, great job y'all.
Korium:😉🍻
Great video Jr. Gabe and you are the best.
Rob Canadianguy:😉🍻
Great job guys.
Nice. On bottom mounted oil filters I punch a hole in the outer skin on the bottom to let the oil drain out a bit and I don't get my hands covered in oil. There will be some oil in the center of the filter so you still have to be careful and just pour the remaining oil in the filter out. Much less messier, lol. Thanks for sharing.
Kevin Johnson: that would work for standard filters. This is a cartridge filter. Thank you for your comment!😉🍻
For anybody doing this or replacing the timing belt, use a 30mm socket on the crank pully and turn the engine over in reverse rotation 1 full revolution followed by 2 revolutions in normal running pattern. Then check the timing marks on the cams and crank. Cranking the engine with the plugs removed while using the starter could but will almost certainly cause damage to the valves. Doing it by hand will immediately tell you if there is any interference. This is the method stated in Vida. The information source Volvo techs use. And it won't set any erroneous codes
correct ! don't crank with the starter after changing the timing belt.
I know how you feel, just spent 4 hours trying to remove a jammed bendix gear from the flywheel of jag xk 140 starter motor, no room at all for tools and hands, so good when you finally succeed
Bucks Gas Garage:🥳🥳
Was a long time Volvo owner until I bought an S80 back in 2000 brand new for close to $40k. The historical bullet proof Volvo reliability was soon discovered to not be true of the S80. Two and a half years later with the end of warranty fast approaching I had to beg to get $14000 trade in on this finicky, miserable to maintain beast. Went Honda and never looked back. Your $450 is about what it was worth, you’d spend much much more at Volvo dealer for the work you did.
Awesome work fellas!!!
Nice job guys
Prolific Invention: 😉🍻
The rear styling is very nice but dated now. My mother bought one new and it was amazing to drive, quick, crisp handling and it has an especially tight turning radius. Whoever gets that one will be very lucky.
In ten years she wants her old Volvo back, worth $ times more and more reliable than her current Volvo!!
Nice job from start to finish 👍
I remember learning that oil drain plug trick from MCM long time ago.
Gabe’s shirt too funny. Space invaders meets dr. Who.
Erik Stenberg: 😉🍻
Gabe where did you get it, it’s awesome!
Josh Ortgies: I wish I could remember.
I just bought a 2001 Volvo S60 with 259k miles.
Almost all of the work was done at the Volvo dealership. You guys work so clean. Can I bring it to you guys for a diagnostic/hookup!? Please!?!?!?!!
Awesome job fellas well done
Stacy Dornan: Thank you!😉🍻
I was just wondering if JR and Gabe are schooled mechanics,you 2 guys rock
Gabe's shirt. 10/10!
Adam Leask:😁🍻
1. As a BMW owner, I need that CEL wall art.
2. My parents had an 04 S60 2.5t they bought new. Front tires rubbed the fender liners until the dealer adjusted the steering bump stops which made the horrible turning circle even WORSE.
3. Wish I was coming to Petit this year so I could meet you. Used to go every year since I’m only 2.5 hours south.
As always thanks for the great content - know you work hard.
Mark Craddock: Hi Mark! Send us a message through one of our contacts on the “About” page and we’ll get you in touch with Josh, who made the wall art.
Glad you are enjoying the content!! Cheers, friend!😉🍻
Never been this early
It's 6:16am and I am watching JRGo
Nice its 8:21 am for me
It was 8:15pm when I received notification.
I'm not a fan of fwd cars because of the lack of room for activities like this. Good job guys, cool shirt Gabe. I always manage to drop the drain plug in the bucket, but im not the smartest person.
demonchild 74:😂🍻
I have just the words for you when you resume work on the Audi: "Komm, wir machen was am Auto", sagte er. "Wird spaßig!", sagte er.
Andy Pre: LOL! Thanks!😉🍻
@ 2:46 Josh just chillin in the background
I'm likely late to the party, but congratulations on the Jackstands, after so many people commented on earlier videos, where you didn't have them.
MrOnemanop: 😂🤣😉🍻
You could have made life easier by removing the ECU box lid, & mid section - easy to do , just a couple of clips . Also it is not essential to remove the crank pulley , as there is a small guard that sits just under/behind the crank pulley, 2 or 3 M6 bolts to take out , can be a bit tricky, this enables the cam belt to be carefully fed through the narrow gap.
After fitting a new cam belt on any car you should turn the engine by hand 720 degrees to see if the timing marks still line up - NOT with the starter motor.
One final point - I didn't notice any axle stands under the car - I do hope you used them, NEVER rely solely on a jack to hold a car up when you are getting underneath it.
21:48 jack stands visible.
Your Volvo is from the last days of Ford ownership, nowadays Volvo belongs to a Chinese consortium Geely also makes cars, but with an big cash injection by Geely, Volvo is truelly back to where it use to be in years before, Geely also acquired controlling share of Proton Malaysia car company who indirect owns Lotus, Woow so I am really looking forward what comes out of this joint venture
P2 platform cars were finished all design work before Ford
@@reallyhappenings5597 we just got a few fomoco parts on our p2 cars, like my 05 s60R. The washer pump is fomoco, lol
I did this on my old s60 t5 and it was challenging.
Use the steering wheel volume buttons and it doesn't matter if it fails😀
Keep up the good work!
Hey, I bought a 2003 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD for 800 bucks a couple months ago. They guy sold it because he was into GM and Chevy type cars, it has 175k miles. I have a decent oil leak I have to put oil in my car often. I think I traced it to a bad oil gasket seal on my turbo oil return line, and the cam shaft seals, but I also have oil spraying onto my charge pipe in the front of the car and can’t find where that oil is coming from. I’ve went to pick n pull yards and all the other cars I took parts from had that same oil/sludge solid build up on the charge pipe in the front by the dip stick. So far I replaced all o rings, like oil dip stick, oil fill cap. I also recently got a check engine like, it’s an evap code p2407. I got in touch with someone at IPD and they explained it could be a break in one of my hoses, I visually already repaired 3 broken hoses but I still have the light and my car is idling rougher now. My mechanic is swamped with work so it’s just me trying to figure shit out now, I’m doing pretty good. The oil change showed so much carbon build up and the couple after had a little less but still sludge and build up in the filter. I ran an engine flush all that and now my 5th oil change I get used oil wayyy less sludge. I did the glove test on the oil fill cap and it didn’t Inflate it, it sucked in, which means my pvc is still good, but I’ve noticed a ton of oil and sludge caked all around my pvc box under the manifold. What is my next steps? Should I just do all my cam seals and pvc? Or is there something else I’m not seeing. The oil leak shows under the passenger fender and cover the control arm area and all down under the power steering/coolant area. Any advice will be awesome! I use AutoHausAZ, FCPeuro, and IPD if I need to buy new parts, if not I get it from pick n pull I try to save money also! Great video! I’ve been watching your channel for about a year now and never saw this video until I started doing research on my car and your video popped up!!!
18:55 LoL if you want to check that nothing hits valves you should turn the crank slowly by hand! not with a 1000ft lbs starter..
Yeah, I wanted to face palm that. Just did the timing kit on my V70R last weekend.
I spun it over before that, it's just more awkward to show laying under the car with a big ratchet 😂
@@WatchJRGo that's the awkwardness we love ;)

Hello from Sweden! 🇸🇪
In Sweden Volvos are very expensive. The S60 is a good car and it will last for many more years with the right owner. 🙂
I drive one here in Cape Town
Hard to get parts for it though but awesome car

Cool. I did the same thing w 2 bottles of lucas oil stop leak on my 06 s40.
Top job fella!

Thank you for your service to our country.
judsonr1: Thank you for being an American worth fighting for.
Don’t know if that’s true; pretty sure you’ve never spoken to my wife. All those who choose to serve, including my son in the Navy, have my respect and gratitude. If you’re ever in Northern Colorado I’d be proud to buy you a pint or two; and while you’re here I have a 1970 240Z with a seized motor, and a 1970 Beetle that overheats after about seven miles.
judsonr1: 😂🤣
I’d be happy to take you up on it!
Huge fan of both cars as well!😉
We’ll be building my daughter’s ‘73 Super beetle on the channel at some point.
Concerning your overheating, have you checked the doghouse oil cooler?
You and Gabe make a great team. I truly hope that you can make a living from YT and flipping cars...
do you think there's some profit in this car?
@@Nebbia_affaraccimiei now there is especially with a parts sponsor

johnny smit: Thanks for your comment, but I must disagree with your premise. This isn’t being unproductive by any stretch. Affordable reliable vehicles are being returned to the market and others are able to learn from the documentation of the repairs made. It’s a positive impact all around.
Cheers, friend. 😉🍻
It's crazy how I did all this work to my 04 volvo s60 2.5t and I sold it now but I wonder if that owner still has her running. 220,000 miles and was still running strong 60 miles every day.

best seats ever...
Volvo for life
Disconnecting the coils wont cause the pistons to not hit the valves if it was wrong, should hand crank the with a ratchet so you can feel it if a valve does hit without causing damage the starter spins it so quickly one rotation would ruin the valves if it was wrong
precisely
Justin Hovey: Agreed. We did not show hand cranking on this one. However it was accomplished prior to engaging the starter.
I bought an s60
2.4 with 200k miles.It's a great car.
Gabe is Awesome ...Hi Gabe!!
chris simpson:😀
One of my s80s is on its original belt at 140k miles, still looks perfect when I had the cover off to do the thermostat, I'm gonna risk it for a while!
But why risk grenading the engine?
very bad idea
A bicycle seat post used as a small breaker bar(slid over ratchet handle) would prevent those busted knuckles.
Man I have the identical car year and model, and need the timing belt done and PCV too. I wish you lived close to Seattle, I would pay you to help me do these jobs, I could probably do them my self but 2 people is always better.
