Mrs. Involvoed is quite a trooper.
She is!
This video makes me feel much more confident if I ever have to swap the engine in my 740
It took quite alot longer to get it in and mated to the gearbox than I showed, but not many people would watch for that long 😂 They are nice to do though, all the room in the engine bay is lovely
@@Involvod think I need to start looking for a b200ft tbh
Man, you get more done with a screwdriver and a hammer than I do with a garage full of tools! Always amazing!
You know what they say about necessity being the mother of invention 🤣 Thanks man
First!!
The best part about pulling a motor is stress testing all the things that don't want to separate.
Haha yeah, always forget something eh
Miss Involvo is lovely! I hope her thumb heals quickly. You both did amazing work!
Thanks! Yeah, a bruise and no feeling for a few days but now she's back to normal!
Kudos to Mrs Involvo'd. Such a pinch to a finger can easily knock you out with pain.
She helped you lift that engine at least twice. She's a nice person, and she clearly likes the tinkering too. Such women are pure gold.
Hope her thumb heals well.
Great work, especially in those circumstances with the ample means you have.
She totally is! Thanks 😃
I've got to hand it to both of you. Sheer determination won the day on that job!
Thanks! 😃
Good effort getting the new block back in 👍 I hope Mrs Involvo'ds thumb is ok, I know full well how much that bloody hurts.
Thanks for showing us the condition of the old head in the last video.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
Bl--dy Hell mate...injuring Miss Involv'd...That proved you need more space in your wee garage there, but you knew that ages ago. It's amazing how well you did, and your apprentice was massive help. I am now perhaps the only person in Vancouver, perhaps Canada that is sporting an Inovol'd sticker on my 04 XC 70...Looks superb...Press on man.
Yeah agreed, she was great! Thanks for the order, there's quite a few stickers that have gone to Canada but definitely not on any XC 70s as far as I know 😃 Glad you're happy with it!
I’m glad you say that you clean the engine later. It was giving me anxiety seeing it go in all filthy. 😂
Yeah in all the excitement I didn't realised until the edit how rough it looked, especially with the sunlight hitting it, I knew some people would not be impressed with me leaving it like that 🤣
Bro, I feel the pain replacing the engine. Pulled my out a few days ago. But with tranny 😉
Thank you for sharing this content with us.
I think that's what I'll do next time! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Nice! Pulling out a redblock together, now that's proper couples therapy. Feel the pain working in a limited space, been working all weekend on the 2 and the 9 in my apt. building garage, makes me question my life choices for sure while crying googling pictures of shiny four-post lifts.
Haha but all the more rewarding when the job's done 😃
@@Involvod that's true, the suffering is half the fun.
5:28 In the future, use Gunk Engine Degreaser if you can find it nearby. It works wonders.
Nice work. These engine lifts can be a pain when the ground is not level
Thanks, yeah it's a bit like the pallet lifter that can't roll over a zip tie, those small wheels get stopped easily 😄
Thanks
Very generous! Thank you so much!
Super job, so nice to see the two of you joining forces (literally) to move the new engine. But poor Miss Involvo'd!!!!! Hope she's feeling better now. As to bay cleaning, I always do that manually over a period of time, whenever I get access and have the energy. This prevents water getting where it would normally never get during use.
Thanks! I know what you mean, also every time I've cleaned an old Volvo engine bay I've had misfires and hesitation for a short while after!
You're a better man than me Gunga Din. Narrow spaced garage. One day crane hire, so old engine out, new engine in in one day. Brave effort.
But you did have a lovely assistant with a hearty laugh who didn't mind getting bodily injured in the process. I also noted what Miss Involvo'd was wearing. A little bit up market for an engine swap I think. I hope your thumb gets better and he doesn't work you too hard. Cheers.
Thanks! 😃
Sugar soap, which is environmentally ok, and a kitchen hard bristles dish washing brush will remove most of the crap in engine bay. . Lining up the splines in the clutch housing to the gear box is usually the biggest problem. I was surprised that it went in without a spanner on the crankshaft to wiggle it back and forth. Great Job.
Thanks! That's a good point, will have to remember that tip for the future!
Nice job working togerher! My 940 has a new headgasket and timmingbelt service done. Ready for a +4000 km camper trip this august.
Very nice, it gives you confidence to do a long journey 👍
i swear everytime something happens to my car i get to watch you fix the problem. bout to swap a new b230 and tranny into my brick so watching the procedure like this is really helpful cause im probably going to have to do it the same way😂
I think you will have an easier time doing the engine and gearbox together, I think next time I'll try it that way! Good luck with it 👍
@@Involvod i’m going to try that. i don’t have to replace the transmission but im getting the new core with a transmission so i might as well save time and struggle to do both at once
Hey Sledge, great work swapping the block, pretty impressive doing that in such a tight space!🤨
Thanks Charles!
Well done to the both of you, especially in that restricted space and limited facilities! I love that miss InVolvo'd found a cushion for her head :-) Hope her thumb is better! Well done, I bet that was a struggle. At one point I thought there was an extra dowel that was stopping you mate the block and gearbox - I had that once took me 2 hrs to work out why they wouldn't go together!!!
Thanks, yeah they are tricky, I thought for a bit the clutch wasn't centred right, I used a tool but it wasn't the best so pretty much just eyeballed it in the end!
Not sure if it's your first engine swap but I can remember my first engine/gearbox lineup in the bay..... Not fun! Good job getting it in, hope Miss Involvo'd hand is okay!
I think this was my 2nd one, first being on a Vauxhall Corsa, this one was way more worth the effort 😃 Thanks!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Great video again! I've got much respect for you both! Looking forward to the next video
Really appreciate the support! 😉👍
I'm still early in this video, but where you're talking about cleaning the engine bay.
Look into CRC Degreaser. It's in a blue can and it's a spray and wipe method!
It works REALLY well and is a great option with no running water.
Thanks man, I have used CRC products before and it's good stuff! I'm keen to try out the degreaser
Great job you guys! So amazing to watch you work your way overcoming all the limits. What a duo! All the best to Beata and her thumb!
Thanks matey!
Hard days work there mate, and a cliff hanger :D
Thanks, yeah it's way too much stuff for one video, I'm already regretting promising we'll get it running in the next part 😃
I hope miss Ivolved is better and she is strong to help lift that engine out of the car
Use Dasty to clean the engine bay. With a cloth. That stuff really works. I use it to👍👍
Thanks, I'll check it out!
@@Involvod its great stuff 👍👍
Yes, you do need a big level area for an engine hoist. I tend to lower the engine to the floor, raise the car and drag the engine from underneath.
Ahh! Someone's thinking!
Man, what a huge project in a small area! I have to give you and Miss Involvo'd major props for getting this done in such a tight and narrow garage.
You both did great work. I know there's still a lot of work ahead, but you guys are doing great.
Best of luck and I can't wait for the next installment!
Thanks buddy I appreciate the support!
Very nice job! Especially considering the posibilities you've got. By the way You really don't have to salut the Swedish National Hymn - You just have to sing along "Du gamla du fria Du fjällhöga nord..." ;-)
Haha, good to know, thanks 😃
Отличная работа! Уложил пострадавшую женщину на бетон, когда рядом был 745 со сложенным полом))) Двигатель что ты поставил он же с 240(трамблер в блоке, не в голове) на них выбиты даты под опорной лапой со стороны пассажира. Если ты еще не собрал мотор - переставь помпу с вынутого - она явно недавно меняная и без шпилек под вентиллятор! Сцепление на вынутом моторе не Sachs классический или его незаводской заменитель Mecarm, похоже это редко встречающееся сцепление которое делали в Финляндии, интересно было бы рассмотреть(mecarm считается хуже sachs потому что жесткий прижим чересчур до ускоренного съедания металла маховика и корзины).
Вольво делали хорошую краску для редблоков, я свой блок отмывал растворителем через бутылку - спрей, можешь потратить пару литров и блок будет сиять красной краской без грязи и залежей масла)
Haha I tried but she couldn't make it! I definitely would like to swap the pumps over. I'm going to keep it as a head mounted distributor as I got a complete built up head from a 940, and save the block distributor and geared auxiliary shaft for another day I think
Great effort guys,get miss volvo a pair of gloves 👏 👍
Thanks, I realised after that she would have faired better with some hand protection, didn't notice at the time I was too carried away, would have gladly given her mine!
Engine swaps/jobs are SO satisfying. I've done that on a buddys 600whp Integra type R and on a shitload of crown vics. Always a blast. Catching up on that 5k subs mate. Congrats. Here's to 10k.
Yeah I agree, probably the most satisfying job so far. Thanks mate, getting there!
Did you hear me cheering from Scotland Sledge when the engine finally slotted into position - lol! You have so much work ahead of you but you can do it. I hope that Miss Involvo'd's thumb is now all better?
Haha thanks! Yeah she's okay now, took a few days!
5k! Nice job!
Cheers Devin!
can rent a a little IBC for a day or two, thousand litres of water in a cage theylll just drop it off outside the garage, can fix your water needs :D
That would certainly be enough! But I'd have to push the car down the slope out of the garage and if I cleaned the engine bay in the communal area the neighbours would probably all have heart attacks 😅
Cheap spray oven cleaner works great on engine bays
Thanks, I used that once before and it was amazing, problem is afterwards I read it can be really bad for aluminium and cause it to discolour and look terrible, I got lucky with mine I think because I rinsed it off quite quickly
Top work you two! I know what you mean about a filthy engine bay. I keep watching engine detailing videos and think how nice it would be being able to work on my 940 without getting covered in 30 years of accumulated oil and road film. Then I lift the bonnet and get overwhelmed by just how much work that’s going to take. Close the bonnet; worry about it another day 🤣
I’m assuming the “no cleaning at a car wash” is because of engine oil or other contaminants entering the ground water?
I know what you mean, the only time it's been easy to do was when I used oven cleaner, before learning that it's bad for aluminium. Yes because of the environmental thing they are super strict over here they don't want a drop of oil getting on the ground, so most car washes will say it's forbidden, with threats of police involvement etc
@@Involvod It’s not a bad thing really… and I’m there there are car washes where you can go that are less… stringent with the rules 😉😉😉
you actually dared to unbolt the bumper rathel than taken the shocks out with the bumper! I have had some many free spinning bumper bolts taht I usually just pop the shocks out since its easier and more likely to happen.
I was worried I'd have issues with it, especially the nuts on the side holding the skin on, one broke, the others were okay luckily 😅
🔥🔥
Great work as always both of you 👍👍. The water situation, I use a few 25 litre catering containers (eBay) filled up with water from the house and one of those cheap 12v water pump pressure washing kits (eBay again). Not perfect, far from it, but it does work ok enough to clean up a car, it might be worth considering at your lock up ?🤷♂
Thanks! That sounds like a good set up 👍
You have a good woman there all the birds were I am the only thing they can lift is a mobile phone and are feared to let it go lol .
😅 yeah she's definitely a keeper
No Matter how hard it is to work on Red Block Volvo? Its Better than a PT cruiser! LOL!
Good job! On the 122 you can pull out the gearbox attached, not sure on the 240…
This is a 740 but yes you can pull out engine of 240 with gearbox attached.
@@Juancheros oh yeah! I forgot this was a 740!
Thanks! I think next time I'll try it that way 👍
Veliki posao je to što radite
sons of anarchy hahaha nice
Hi Involvo'd, just wondering - don't you want to engage with a D24 powered brick someday? I'm aware of your channel description - just redblock 2/7/9, but why? The Audi/VW factor in them? :D I'd be interested nevertheless. Good content, keep it up mate!
Thanks! To be honest what puts me off is the issues the D24 can have in the Volvo cars, with the cooling system etc, I would still own one but where I am at the moment it would cost about 700 per year in taxes and I wouldn't be allowed to drive it in the city!
Do you have a yearly M.O.T . There same as the UK ?
Here they are every 2 years which is nice, but they are stricter. I thought the UK was going to do that also?
@@Involvod Still every year at the moment !
So why doesn't a Rover deserve a clean engine bay?
Use some degreaser and rags and then fluid film the creases. No point to repaint the engine bay on a car like this
That's my thoughts on it! Hopefully there's a proper restoration in her future, but I'll preserve it as best I can for now
No one will ask anything, you wash your engine.. this is just for the owner a ensurance to have no clame from the users wash the engine..., do not be that serious...
