- Getting Rosalie the Volvo 740 to a point where we can turn the key and see if she'll run. I finish off installing the 240 block and 940 cylinder head, timing belt and encounter issues with the exhaust manifold not fitting and no oil pressure light on the dash...

Very nice to hear it run! Never imagined that parts of a car I bought for 800 euros, got another life in Germany. I literally rescued that car from a field in the west of the netherlands. Roll on old blue ;)
It's great to see spare parts live on in other cars isn't it!
You can absolutely paint that engine while it’s in the bay. I did the same on my most recent video. Especially with the exhaust and intake out of the way and tape off appropriately. It’ll come out jice
Thanks, good to know!
Another one saved!
(All other issues ignored for now…) She runs!
Top work that man.
Thanks buddy!
Sorry that I forgot to change the oil pressure sender. Thought I've already done it. Thanks for sharing your great skills.
No problem man, I didn't expect an oil pressure sensor to be included 😃
Wooo!!!! I admire your adventurous spirit and diligence to classic Volvos!!
Hey Sledge, great rebuild, the motor sounds healthy , u will have this Rosy Volvo rolling down the road in no time!😉
Thanks Charles, sounded well didn't it!
Great Job. Lovely to hear She is alive again. I have a 1996 Volvo 940 LPT Turbo Auto estate (B230FK) that I have owned for 5 years now. Paid £250 for it with 8 months UK MOT. No major issues. Runs well and has 207,000 miles, so run in. My works Van. Far from mint but still put's a smile on my face, as has character. May one day fit a MBC. Look forward to seeing Rosalie out driving.
That's really great, such a bonus when you can get so much car for so little money. I had a '95 SE LPT in the UK, really nice. Never did get chance to fit an MBC but it's definitely worth it!
I love old Volvos.
Great content... Congrats from Brazil. 👍🏼 👍🏼
Greetings! Thanks for watching!
Great job. Easiest way to paint a block once installed, is to buy some engine enamel and use a rag suitably formed to paint with. Paint can be wiped on not just brushed on. . Don’t forget to wear gloves . Lol. It is not like the nooks and crannies are visible to critic comment, once auxiliaries are installed,
That's true, thanks mate
That’s great work once again. Never seen a manifold warped by over heating.
Me neither, was very surprised!
Good old fashioned greasy hard work! Keep up the good work looks like fun
Thanks, it really was!
Back to life! Congrats!
Cheers!
Great, She's running again!
Good work and nice vid!
Thanks!
Happy days! Sounds nice
Yeah it does!
Runs good, sounds great!
Congrats!
Cheers!
Oh man this was an awesome revival! I’ve always wanted to hear a 240 without an exhaust manifold and it sounds quite awesome although quite loud as well. Congrats on getting it running!
Thanks, glad I could provide! It was way louder than I expected
Yeaahhhhhh she’s alive 😀 . Good job bro.
Thanks man!
Congrats! Such a relief it is actually running. Your "It's a red block, it'll probably idle like sh.t anyway"... LMAO. Rosalie gets such good care from you guys, just wonderful. My own Sweede got some TLC today just before the rain :-) of course but that's driveway tinkering.
Thanks! She's coming together! Yeah, I can't moan about that garage, being out of the elements is the most important thing
@@Involvod Absolutely and would love a garage as well
Excellent to see it fired up! Once you have it all wrapped up it'll be interesting to see if the severe overheating did anything to the catalytic converter. It would be fascinating to know just how hot the old engine got.
That's a very good point, will have to keep an eye on that!!
@@Involvod It's probably unlikely since Volvo used decent-sized honeycomb-type cats but the prior engine seems to have REALLLLLLLLY gotten hot. Seemingly the exhaust manifold got so hot to possibly be glowing for it be to warped that much.
So yeah, the exhaust temperatures were probably even beyond what Volvo had torture tested the B21/B23/B230 to so the post-treatment function of the cat could have been affected.
Wow, it runs!! Happy to see it coming to life again.
Thanks! Me too
Awesome, you did it! 😃
Thanks mate! Next video we'll get her on the road
Great to see it run! I always thought the turbo exhaust was the difficult one but seems I was mistaken...
I think all exhausts are a pain I'm really not a fan of working on them 😅
Great work!
Thanks!
Congratulations :)
Thanks Paul!
Top job, just watched this on Patreon haha. God I love the sound of the red block. I need another in my life. I loved how she fired up straightaway! Great video fella.
Thanks mate! Great aren't they!
Brilliant vid, well done 👍
Thanks Rick!
Well done Sledge, I knew that you would do it. Not long now until Rosalie is back on the road.
Thanks! Getting real close now 😃
Undo engine mounts it will give you wriggle room to move the engine to connect manifold. Always wanted to use the phrase. “ If Muhammad won’t go the the mountain, the Mountain will go to Mohammed “ lol.
Kudos for your persistence, Sledge! Great job.
Thanks Frank!
Well done, great to hear it run. Weird issue on exhaust manifold, not had one distort, must have been massive over temps.
Surface of the Sun temps! Lol!
Thanks, yeah I was very surprised, didn't think that would happen!
@@Involvod Not a real problem. It's just more 'content', Sledge! Lol :)
Congrats on firing it up! Love the tracktor sound! So good to watch you doing your thing! Another one resqued😀
Thanks mate! 😃 Another brick on the road, almost!
so nice to hear the engine run even with no exhaust!
Yeah it was great!!
Great job!
Thanks!
Great job! (Both the work and your editing)
I bet you were happy to finally hear it run. I know it is a bit stressful to turn the key when you're that far into a project.
I look forward to the engine bay cleaning video! I love watching dirty old cars come out clean. Ammo NYC has gotten me hooked a few times on these types of videos. Haha.
Thanks man! I'm looking forward to it too, especially on a white engine bay it will look so different!
Jobb well done! 😀
Thanks 😃
Nice one Cyril, nice one son!
TIME 12:13 YES!
You see. I told you. You can do it mate 👍👍😀
Thanks mate I appreciate the support!
@@Involvod thank you for the lovely video,s mate! And no problem👍
It runssss. 💪💪💪
That head looks gorgeous. Hope the wife's hand/finger is better. Been fixing cars since I was 15 i know the feeling.
P.S. Nice diesel lol
Thanks yeah she's doing alright now, lost a nail 🤢 But it's growing back 😄
@@Involvod Ouch, I've done that but only broke s tiny bit. My worst injury was needle nose pliers to put rear brake springs in, slipped and hit me in the eye went thru my eye lid. No damage, headache for 3 days.
@@bluej511 I remember you telling me about that, it's a dangerous game that's for sure
Well now I know what a redblock without a manifold sounds like!
Pretty good i'd say!
Better than all those straight-piped Vauxhall corsas and fiestas, that’s for sure 😅
Here's to bring able to afford a bigger garage. 🤞🤞Keep on truckin'.
Thanks man, really appreciate that 🙏👍
Прекрасная работа, мне на 530 92 года на днях сняли 0.21мм, завтра повезу ставить на мотор. Следж, а ты посмотрел какой вал тебе достался в голове 97года? После 95го выпуск атмосферных версий прекратили(230F c 530 с М валом 117 сил слабым в 93году снят с производства, 230FB(FD G D) c 531 самыми продутыми каналами и великолепным вх3 валом на 135-140 сил в 95м сняли с конвеера. Остались турбо версии 230FK GK FT с 530 головами на Т валу, а установив с них на обычную атмосферную голову у тебя снизится динамика, так как турбины продували 530ю и Т вал был нормален, но для атмосферного мотора, своими силами втягивающего и выталкивающего поршнями воздух этого будет недостаточно. Для атмосферных версий в будущем подыскивай 531 гбц или же вх3 вал с нее, он и в турбо залетает на ура, верха хорошие мотор крутят.
I didn't check the camshaft number, but thanks that's good to know! Good luck with yours, it's a great feeling when they fire up and run well!
@@Involvod Самый слабый вал это М(b230F), самый отличный это V, хорошие низы и отличные верха (стоял в мехвпрысковых версиях 230Е, стоковый каджет гораздо больше мощности выдает чем инжектор, в том числе из за большего ресивера впускного, 1 литр против 0.5 воздуха у инжектора), но его просто так не поставить без разрезной шестерни, потмоу что перекрытия отличаются. Еще имеется тот самый легендарный vx3 вал с 531 голов b230FB, у него верха отличные, но низа похуже чем V, самый оптимальный вариант для атмосферника, на турбо тоже на раскрутку подходит. Также есть нечасто встречаемый А вал, стоял помоему на карбюраторных версиях b230К и b230A, у него низа хорошие, но он не крутится особо, для турбо не подойдет, на атмосфере хорош. И напоследок тот самый Т вал с турбовых моторов ранней и поздней генерации, средний вал, не знаю ничего выдающегося, просто затычка видимо чтоб он был, турбина делает основную работу.
У тебя он как раз и стоит сейчас, я поэтому и написал много много букв как Лев Толстой в "Войне и Мире" чтоб объяснить тебе эти нюансы и в последующей эксплуатации расписной белоснежки с Т валом на атмосферном моторе узнать как себя он ведет на атмо, 99% если никто в ту голову 97 года не лазил менять что то там стоит Т вал потому что в 97 атмо версий уже не делали.
Thanks, I'll see how it performs, I also heard about the VX3 camshaft in the 531 set up only performing well at higher RPM, I don't think many people are aware of this!
As a recent 940 owner this channel is a goldmine, what's that blue book you refer to for the torque settings?
Thanks! Sorry for the delay in responding, it's a Haynes manual :)
@@Involvod No worries, I have a haynes manual but it's a newer paperback, so I thought it might have been a special service manual or something similar
Look at you with all the Volvo speciality tools. Your no longer a bodge job mechanic like the rest of us.
😄 Losing the USP. I'm going to give them away 🤣
@@Involvod I’ll take them
Were all the exhaust manifolds and cylinder heads the same or could the 940 parts be different?
That's what I thought too, but I checked and the only difference was with or without turbo. She must have just cooked!
Great content, how's the missus's hand ?
Thanks! It's okay, she lost a nail but it's growing back 😅🤢

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!
