- 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.
You're living the dream 😍
Great little video! Makes me look forward when my 16v redblock time will come!
Can't wait to see more!

Thanks!
Holy crap man YESSS!! I applaud you for your attention to detail. I can't imagine how much work went into the filming and editing alone.
Thanks! Yeah, filming and editing easily triples the time it takes to get stuff done.
At this rate I might as well stick a good ol red block in my car 😂
Stoked to see some progress on it, Tyler!
To be fair, my success rate with red blocks is 0/1 so far…
Really cool project! I'm building an 8v turbo redblock for my yellow 77 244 with around the same power goals. Looking forward to the next episode!
Nice! I love the early 240s. Next episode should be a good one, just collecting parts.
The slow tedious process. That thing looks great though!
Thanks Dean! I figured if you can get so much work done on that yellow 142, along with having like 39 other cars, I should be able to at least put an engine in mine…
@@tfrasca142 its a struggle as you know but little bites at a time is all it takes. This video makes me want to dig out my “extra cam” B230.
Exited to see the process as I'm studying an auto mechanic course and will be doing this in a couple weeks!
good job!! looks like a great build!
Thanks! I'm still waiting on a few more parts to bolt the head on, but hopefully those show up and we can continue soon.
Just a tip - The oil plug on the front by the water pump is unfiltered oil, i recommend a filter on you oil feed line 😁
Ah, I didn’t think of that. Thanks!
.047 - .018' = .019'. Danger danger! You need .04' per 1000rpm squish minimum, 0.05' is safer so you need at least 0.032' for 8000rpm. I'd be looking at a thicker cometic hg to get the clearance given the 16v likes to rev.
Ok this is good info! So you’re saying I’m at risk of the piston hitting the head itself, not even just the valves?
Also, I assume you mean .004-.005 per 1000 rpm, right?
Also also, it looks like the math is wrong. .047-.018=.029. That's still not enough for 8k given your formula, but at least it's closer to being safe for 7k. Seems like I should be looking at an MLS gasket around .5? Sorry for the rapid fire replies, just trying to figure this out. Would you use stock bolts with an MLS gasket? I don't want to use the ARP studs I have, as I've heard they lose clamp load over time because the washers dig into the aluminum head surface, and they don't have the right elasticity for aluminum expansion.
@@tfrasca142 yeah sorry. It's still very close. You should use a dial guage to measure the difference too.
@@tfrasca142 and I've not heard about issues with head studs. They offer superior clamping so it's a no brainer to use.
