Great series. I'll probably have to do this eventually on my 2002 V70 non-turbo B5244S, it was my father's car and I want to make it last a long time. Thanks for giving us a view of head removal on these inline-5 Swedish engines.
Robinson..I own 2 Volvo and work on a regular basis and their not pron to head gasket failure , the turbo is water cooled and im betting its bad..the coolant test sowed no leak down ...Dye the coolant and run for 50 mi and pull exhaust off turbo and hit with a black light...My XC90 has 1 bad turbo and uses 1qt of A/F a month...not enough loss to warrant a $800 turbo..

Well done , ding0925 has an interesting theory, how would the coolant get in the head bolt from the turbo ? Look forward to part 3. Fantastic camera detail.
Hey great videos!! I have a question.. at 5:36 minutes you mention about locking the cams in place when removing the upper portion of the head. How important is it to do this and can you provide me with any tips on how to do so? I am going to be doing a head gasket on a 2.4t Volvo S60 2001 next week. I have only done head gaskets on GM V6 engines that are easier to work on. Thanks!
I know Volvos do have interference engines, so for example if the timing belt isn't set up correctly or you forget to lock the cams when you remove the belt that very well can cause internal engine damage.
I wonder if the block is cracked in the area were the head bolt was milky at #1 cylinder?. Whoever carried out the previous head gasket replacement may not have cleaned the bolt hole and hydraulically locked it during the head bolt torque down.
i was thinking the samething or was some coolant down in the bolt hole, he put oil on the threads and thos 2 mixed, could send u in the rong direction, im sure we will know the answer soon.
I think you said leakage past exhaust valves between 3 and 5 cylinder I think this is a gasket leak. The bolt from number 1 piston could be block a threads.
Good stuff, im a computer guy thinking about redoing a headgasket so this is very informative for me
The mystery continues. Thanks for posting. I eagerly await to see the results from the machine shop.

I just started to look at this video today. I will be looking at it again. So far it's a good head repair video. thanks robinsonauto.

Can't wait till part 3 :D
will having it tested be pretty expensive? It would be pretty cool to see that test you were explaining... maybe in a future video??

I meaned to say at the threads in the engine block were that bolt came from.

Do I have to remove pulley before taking Valve cover off?
Very informative-well done
Hi does coolant pressure test reveals any leak in pressure
I think you said leakage past exhaust valves between 3 and 5 cylinder I think this is a gasket leak. The bolt from number 1 piston could be block a threads.
Did you check the oil cooler or did I miss that? Sorry I know this is old.
Cracked head around were that bolt is. Leak around gasket were that bolt is. Like I said earlier leak coming from block were that bolt came from.
Great stuff!
Have tou thought since the head has just recently been replaced. That could mean the block is cracked
At the end of this video you were talking about magni-fluxing the head. This head is aluminum and magni-flux will not work on non ferrous metal..
16:39 I think you mean a three step Dye penetrate inspection and not Magnaflux.
Thanks for the vid
Where is part 1?????
Can you say water again?
this guy sounds like will farrels step brother in step brothers
if its a turbo a seal must be broken on the turbo
