In this video I installed the head on a Volvo with an inline 5 motor. This directly applies to the Volvo 850 and Volvo S70, V70 cars built before 1999. You would have had the head removed for the following reasons:
- Head gasket replacement, blown head gasket, over heated motor.
- Replace bent valves.
- Replace burnt valves.
- Replace valve stem seals.
- Replace a damaged head.

Easily the BEST Volvo 5 cylinder head and cam carrier installation video out there.
thanks for watching and sharing.
Hey man. Your videos help me out a lot. I'm a decent mechanic. But I've never messed with a 5cyl or a volvo. I appreciate the time you took to share your knowledge and experience man.
You are welcome
@@RobertDIY so many great comments. no trhread lock. gasket orientation. torque process. much thx! what do you think of GASKET SEALERS like KSEAL or STEEL SEAL rather than a full head seal replacement?
I pay for Alldata and not a bit of info on these European cars. Thank you for the cam alignment info. Save me a lot of headache. You're a good man. Thank You.
+Rocker Pat you are welcome.
Robert DIY .....I love your vids Rob....but ibhave a question I accidently put a coolant line on a vacuum line and now I have coolant all thru the system.I started it 5 times it was cranking but had white smoke...so we unhooked everything and put the line where they need to be and now the car won't start...could that be from coolant in the engine and how would I fix the problem or is the engine gone???
@@bigyanko360 Unless you rebuild engines it sounds like you might have done yourself in.
Coolant in cylinders, possibly. Crank engine with plugs out to eject the coolant.. Add a capful of oil to help seal and crank again. Replace plugs, start car. Better than giving up.
Those little tips and suggestions are very helpful. Nicely done videos. You give a DIY guy like me confidence. Taking time, taking care, and paying attention to details make the job go well.
Thanks Robert, you have a pleasant teaching style.
Glad to help, thanks for sharing.
Totally invaluable instruction Robert! You are an angel mechanic of TH-cam. I'll spare you the whole story but I have a Volvo V50 that ingested the serpentine belt into the timing belt area causing it to skip time (~20 degrees!) and resulting in 20 bent valves. Taking this thing apart and putting it back together would not have been possible without your detailed and easy to follow tutorials. Thank you!
I hope you seen the P1 video.
Thanks for watching and sharing.
Wow, great video! I'm now at the stage of reinstallation of a Volvo 850 head in a renault safrane which has almost no tech details from renault and it's slightly modified from the volvo variant. Your video has been incredibly helpful. I appreciate your tip on the hydraullic lifters too - pressing the middle bit while in oil - invaluable.
Thanks for watching
After watching your videos and reading your instructions I was able to replace a burnt head gasket on my v70(learned my lesson, no hot piping a turbo) I appreciate you taking to time to put this info up.
Good deal. Glad they helped.
Wow! I'm a gal with only a bit of experience on auto repair but this video is so good, if I had the right set up, I just may be able to do it! I love how meticulous you are because that's one of the first lessons I'm learning is that to fix things correctly, you have to have PATIENCE. I think that's the reason we acquired our 2000 Volvo v40?! I need to work on my patience! LOL
LOL Thanks for watching.
Me and my 850 appreciate your video's! Thank you!
+Don From Mpls you are welcome.
Just noting: 135° is actually halfway between 90 and 180.
Compass heading of perfect SE.
The heater hose/ ptc fix is still working wonders, btw.
I have burnt ~1 qt in 6000 miles and she just ticked to over 282k miles.
Love the vids and am considering replacing my gal's 5 speed N/A head gasket.
My only prior twin cam head experience was on the 1988 16v GTi.. she still fires right up.
Good deal.
Really nice video, and step by step explanation, just really fills like you making career out of it.
Thanks for watching

When I am doing My final torque I always paint a spot on the 12 O'clock position The I adjust to the 5:30 position to set up My 130° degree AND if you have to do multiple torque steps the paint keeps you orientated in case you get called away or distracted while torquing your cylinder head the paint is a good backup.
I don't get distracted when torquing down a cylinder head.
@@RobertDIY for someone who works at a shop AND gets constant distraction from customers and pH calls or drops tool's or even bosses and coworkers or just things that happen The paint on the bolts let's you know where you left off AND I have seen techs loose their spot AND go to tighten up a bolt that it has had its final pass and strip out the threads especially when you're doing a torque angel.
Thanks for all the excellent videos Robert. I'm an experienced backyard mechanic and use the videos for any tips and as a recon if you will for the job I'm about to do.
Bought a $300 850 T5 wagon not running a couple of months ago, suspected blown head gasket. Sure enough my diagnosis was confirmed when I got the car home and put the compression tester on the engine. Fortunately, no obvious failures, just a tired old gasket someone had been nursing with head gasket in a bottle.
Just treated the old girl to a machined head, all new gaskets and seals on the top end and all new timing components.
Now I have an oil cooler line to replace and the exhaust manifold has to come off to be machined, it's to warped to seal and I plain forgot to check if it was flat before I bolted it to the head. The engine did fire up and run very well, just sounded like a tractor.
You guys in the states are lucky when working on the back of the head and exhaust, your brake booster is on the other side of the firewall. On right hand drive cars, the booster and master cylinder is right in the middle of the cam cover! I resort to removing the front two cross member bolts and rotating the cross member down at the front about six inches or so. Provides just enough clearance to get the manifold out from behind the head.
Ouch! I recently learned that exhaust manifolds can be warped. Yikes! These head gaskets just don't wear out, they blow because people fail to keep coolant, etc in them.
95 850 with 330k miles and still going strong. Probably gonna do this and a timing kit soon!
cool
Thank you again for taking the time to put this vid together! really helpful and full of great tips! Cheers.
You are welcome
Maybe I missed it, but I dont recall anywhere in these prep, removal, or install videos, anything about the fact that the head and valve cover are machined together to match for the cams. You must use the valve cover for the head you are installing, or the cams can bind/gall/break ect. I guess the video assumes you will reinstall the head you removed, which is fair enough. But this small bit of info wouldve been invaluable for me to avoid having to now grind a cam journal and cam...
th-cam.com/video/pYuszsm9v1c/w-d-xo.html
What did you do with the cam cover?
@@RobertDIY i had a head warp from over heat. Replaced the head with a good straight one from a pull yard, had it cleaned and resurfaced. I used the valve cover from my old warped head, as it was level, and didnt know they are meant to be kept together. I was able to go back to the pull yard and get the valve cover for this head, but I dont know if its too late for it. The cam journal has a pretty good gouge in it, and the cam has aluminum stuck to it.
Going to try to use some 800/2000 grit sandpaper and time to polish the almunium off the cam, and get the high spot burrs out of the heads cam journal, and try with the correct valve cover. And test for bent valves, of course. Worst case, I go find *another* head and valve cover(probably the cams too), and redo the job again.
Clean the metal off of the cam. I would get another head.
Looks like to me you know cars and how to service them right. I liked your video sir, very good training video.
Thanks for watching.
It's a W pattern same as tractor engine,which a Volvo is a cousin,that's why they last up to 450,000 to 550,000 if you service them to the TEE!!
Nice
This Helped a lot buddy😥 I'm a Audi and BMW Tech with a Customer with the same Car lol..and had a massive oil leak on the Cover...missions man lol
thanks for watching.
@@RobertDIY Rob you wouldn't Believe The condition of this motor..every single nut and bolt was incorrect and stripped..all the way thought. Don't get me started on the electrical side..every single cable is stripped open and covered in oil.
Advised the customer to let it go..
I have put my hands on my Volvo many times following your videos, pcv valve, and what not, I just pulled the head took it to the machine shop and next week I'm expecting to install the head and fire up hopefully, I had all I take valves bent and I'm hoping with your amazing videos to get the car started again omgPlease let me know how to align the valves on s70 , God bless. And never quit posting your cool videos, cheers
+DIEGO SOSA-DIAS this video shows how. Did you remove the cam sprockets?
Robert DIY yes I did, was wondering if you see.the marks on the end where distributor goes like the video you showed, however you didn't mention Volvo s70 that was my concern..
th-cam.com/video/3CTNiKlgdFA/w-d-xo.html
Very good video, thanks. I know it takes longer to explain things but was very well done and helpful
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yea loved ur video helped explain alot to me without how most try to look more intelligent using technical words time u figure out what their saying u forgot half what they tring to explain!Need more videos with u showing how to get it done without tring to win a Oscar!😂
I understand. Some people spend to much time trying to sound smart.
Huh. Didn't know what those angle gauges are for, Thanks for the free lesson.
Happy to help!
7:47 I used a Pringles can cover, drilled a hole in mid of it, measured the angles on paper with some algebra which then used to paint dots on that plastic cover then used a zip tie around my socket and cut the tail of it to be about an inch long so it would work as the indicator between those dots on that plastic Pringles Chips cover----
Ufff.... to tighten those head bolts down on my mothers Opel which had a blown head gasket. And has worked for atleast the past 4 years since.
Interesting
Nice to see someone who knows what they are doing. The dental floss is a great idea.
Thanks for watching.
Working on mine today and through the weekend. Thanks for making this video. Great information and tips!
you are welcome.
Your prices are reasonable. I was told my head gasket repair will be $1500 in my Volvo s40
If you do it yourself.
I'll watch it again and again. thanks
You are welcome
Yo Robert Sir, I really appreciate your tutorial quite detail. I have to reassemble all parts together while I'm not the guy who disassemble it... LOL😂😂.
Anyway thanks bro👍👍
ouch
@@RobertDIY Can I contact you? Just in case I've confusing with the assembly.... This is my first time to handle european car.. please🙏
Old but gold
Thanks for watching
That was a new head gasket, right? It sounded like you might have been re-using when you said it was partly warped. But first-class tute man, 110% 🤩
Absolutely new.
@@RobertDIY Silly question, really. Thanks for the confirmation.
Robert, first of all, you're the man. Been watching your videos since like 2015-16 or so when I got my first Volvo S70. I appreciate all the work you do for us.
Here's my question - 2001 S80 I6 2.9, Combustion into Coolant Head Gasket leak. So I'm going to replace Gasket.
Can I just remove the entire head and go for the gasket alone, or is there any reason I should expect to have to disassemble the entire head, and rebuild it? I've checked out the links, they really helped demonstrating how to get it done, but I would prefer to avoid the entire teardown and rebuild if it's not absolutely necessary.
If it has to be done, or if you'd recommend the whole disassembly then I'll make it happen. Just wanted to double check before I dig into anything.
I believe in doing the minimum. Have the head resurfaced install good parts.
Hey Robert this us another Robert. Ur info. Is very valuable. Keep Up the great informing videos. THANKS ALOT.
You bet
I love your videos, thank you for putting in the effort to film your wrenching
Thanks for watching!
From the UK Robert, outstanding my man
thanks for watching.
Did you hone your cylinders while you had the head off. If not, why?
Do you repack the grease in the wheel hubs when you change a CV axle?
Dam good video robert, watched it to the end, and i dont own a volvo lol :-D.
Yes i imagine you would have to be gentle with the engine at first start up, a gentle warm up and smooth pottering type drive has got to be better than stressing the engine.
What do you do to check your beam torque wrench, put a calculated weight on the handle and check for the same foot/pound reading perhaps?
Check it? I didn't know it ever needed to be checked. Yikes! I have always been concerned about the spring loaded ones that you have to dial in.
Both types "should" be checked regularly. In the real world, very few DIY'ers have this done. Back when I worked as a contractor in a military shop environment, we sent our multimeters and torque wrenches to be checked and calibrated as needed. A quick way to see if your wrench is close would be to put a known good weight on the end of the wrench (other end is mounted to a bench vice) and see if the reading matches (or if the wrench 'clicks' if you have a click-type). Try it with different weights within the range of your torque wrench.
I'll take it in to be replaced tomorrow. lol
Need to do a PSA on that.
Sorry i didnt think it would bother you, im sure its ok :-(
Great video!!! Glad I found you. I have an 04 xc70 2.5T
Cool
Oh god that looks like a lot of work. I may have to do this job and I never did it before.. Do you recommend a more experince person does it or help or just dive in and do it and learn as you go.
Dive in.
Hello Robert and thank you for wonderful movies! Regards. Arne from Norway.
Thank you for watching.
Comprehensive and clear video. Thanks
You're welcome!
FANTASTIC video, as always, Robert!! 16 thumbs down? WTF?
Lazy people not wanting to do the work. lol
Hello, I would like you to help me with some information: the oil meter rod of my car (Volvo V40 2002) is made of plastic and it broke in half, leaving one half inside. I would like to know if it ends up in the crankcase? Is it advisable to move the car like this? If it can cause serious damage? Your guidance would be of great help to me, please 😢
Keep driving until you purchase another one. Just the stick. Then pull the entire tube and you will be able to get the broken piece out of the tube or it will be sticking out of the oil pan hole where you took the tube loose.
I overtightened some of the head bolts by a few degrees due to the angle gauge being inaccurate. Will this be a problem?
No
Got a 98 volvo v70 t5 I've changed connecting bearings ,hydraulic lifters and still has a tick it's not a knock tick
post a video of the sound.
Hello,
I have a problem on the Volvo 136kw engine, the acceleration is weak at the start, it has trouble starting and when the engine heats up well everything works correctly. I want to know why the starting acceleration is slow and if there is a solution to fix the problem?
Bring it by and I'll check it out.
Hi robert , I removed the head and I checked for warpage , the head is warped so ill send it to the shop , however the engine block showed around 0.08 mm warpage in the middle between cylinders , is this normal ? The manual does not specify any limitations for the engine block , it does not ask to check it at all !
Not good. You should have that made true as well. You can ask a real mechanic or the machine shop but I think the limit is 0.035. If they have to take to much off the head, taken some off of the block, it may make everything out of its proper limits. So you'll either need a head spacer or replace the engine.
Amazing quality thank you
You are welcome
Amazing job, great video. Thank you for making this.
you are welcome.
The website says 15 inch-pounds for the cover torque but it should be 150 inch-pounds.
ok
Awesome!
We are looking at pulling the head on our 96 R, but it is mainly for lifter noise. Do you have a recommendation on higher quality parts?
I do not.
My craftsman socket, craftsman adapter, and angle gauge is a little short to reaching the head bolt. Any suggestions?
Deeper socket. I have a socket just for those head bolts.
The number on the distributor cap does not correspond to the cylinder number, but to the firing order. :)
Cylinder numbers.
Thanks for an awesome video!
The lifters has a small hole, and so does the head where the lifters are installed, are you supposed to line those holes up with each other?
Nope.
Hey robbert. Iam helping a buddy to replace a headgasket. We reinstalled the camcover and cams. But when i rotate the cams, the intake cam is VERY hard to rotate. Exhoust side i rotated by hand, but the intake cam i needed a hammer (with wood inbetween so no scratchs). Is this normal or do i need to take the camcover off again? (This is the 10 valve 2.0 s70 from 1998)
Did you use assembly lube?
Whats up Robert hope you're well, just wanted to ask theres no need to retorque head bolts for these engines? Ive heard on some volvo engines you have to run the engine to operating temp, and then retorque the headbolts.
Wherever you read that information reported as hateful speech.
@@RobertDIY haha sounds good sir!
Thanks alot Robert, i have a 1996 Volvo 960. I had a major oil leak at the head cover ,now i need put new sealant and reinstall the valve cover the problem is that valve cover can't seal completely on the cylinders head due the Cams are slightly sticking out, do you have any tips on how to reinstall the valve cover correctly, thanks brother.
did you watch the video?
Robert thank you for your videos, i am a retire person from the car industry yet found a 97 850 SW and started restoring as best a could did a complete sustention and is ready to a full paint job to me is a matter of joy yet the engine with a compression even of 210 your recommended test for head failure did not pass any other advise apart of the emission
test??
I don't understand what you are saying.
Hey Robert, so I'm reading that the cam cover bolts should be 15inch lbs, 13ft lbs, 15ft lbs, and 10ft lbs..... which one is right ? Really don't want to snap a cam or strip any bolts :/
If you want to follow me, read what I suggest in the comments section. I don't have control over what other people post...
Hi Robert, head is installed but when I was filling coolant I noticed it was leaking from the coolant tube above the exhaust manifold (the one on the head). I tightend it and broke the bottom bolt. Any idea how to fix that ?
I guess you need to remove the exhaust manifold and go from there.
@@RobertDIY I think I need to remove the coolant inlet pipe
@@RobertDIY guess I'm gone have to pull the head again
Pulled the head and did it properly this time. The car is running now, thanx Robert for your information, it was very helpful
Hi Robert, greetings. What brand do you recommend for replace the gasket head set for a Volvo 850 1993 GLT

Hi Robert, i have a question.
Have a V40 from 2002 so with NON hydraulic lifters.
I drive LPG now for 200.000 km with no problems. 2.0 liter engine 4 cilinder non turbo.
If i want to check the valve clearance i need a special tool to clamp the camshaft in the hearing bedding.
Do you now the Volvo nummer of the tool?
Love your video.s you are a good mechanic
I do not.
Robert, in your infinite experiences with these P80s,
how often is is just a head gasket?
how often is it a head gasket and head?
how often is the block warped?
Just curious... Hope all is good, brother!
+BlastReadingSeries 95% of the time it is the head. Four % of the time it is the head & block. One % of the time it is the gasket only.
Man, thanks for these hard facts. This is a job to take with the utmost certainty! Hope all is good man!
If I wanted to do a RN turbo swap (straight turbo tube newer ver.) to a 97 850 non turbo transmission in car, which models should I pull the engine from?
One built after 1998.
thanks for the video mr. volvo professor.i have a question.do we need to retourque the head bolts?after a certain kms?
No.
Hi robert, i have done a majority of the small jobs on my old vovlo s70t5 98 including oil change, pcv, heater core ect with the help of your videos. my next tasks are to be timing belt and water pump, is it worth changing the gasket and doing the top end rebuild at this time? the engine is only on 105000 miles but i feel this car has maybe had a harder life than most as the pcv was full to the brim.I read that i would need a "harmonic balance puller" to do this job but something tells me the advice came from a volvo tech, your veiw on this?
Huh? I have NEVER pulled a harmonic balancer on one of these cars. My car has 340,000 on the engine and it has NEVER been cracked. Do the timing belt and water pump and keep driving.
I'm having trouble getting the lifters to compress. what would you recommend to compress them. only one compresses. the rest seem to stop against something instead of getting progressively harder to push as you squeeze them.
+Justin Page I don't have a solution, I have never done it.
Hi robert, my 850 t5r is having a ticking/clicking sound coming from the top of the motor. Should I go ahead and buy a whole new lifter set? Have you ever heard of it being because of some oil pan seals? You seem very experienced with these cars and I would very much appreciate your opinion. I am going to be doing a headgasket/pcv/timing belt replacement coming up this week and I'm wondering if i should put it all back together and see if the clicking persists before replacing any lifters. Thank you for any info and opinion you can share with me :)
I have heard some say that oil pan seals cause lifter tick. I would check oil pressure before I drop the oil pan. The older 850's have older style lifters that are prone to failure. You can get newer lifters, I would get them made for '98 cars. New or used should be fine.
If I could do this inside a shaded garage I would attempt it. But I just couldn't bear the hot California sun long enough to get it done, unless I took a month! By then there would be a half cup of sand and dust covering it.
you have to do it early and cover it with a towel or something.
Hi Robert. Question:
How do you get your camshaft head so clean? The aluminium is so shiny like a new part. Do you use som kind of acid? No aceton could remove the miscoloring at my sylinder top and camshafttop like your results shows in your videos. Du you wanna share the secret with us viewers? Please? 😉
A shop did it. Probably painted it after the vat dip.
If only I had the tools, and the space to put them. I too would be able to service my 2002 V70 Volvo 2.4 Thx Bobert
My car is loaded down with stuff.
I have a blown head gasket on a 01 Volvo v70 xc awd is it a tough job
lol Yes.
Brother, you have taken me from, I haven't even changed my own oil to almost done reassembling my engine after doing some valve work and replacing the head gasket, so much thanks. I took apart more hoses and electrical plugs than was required to accommodate the lack of tools i started with. I dont know where a lot of the extra pieces go, I've been looking through your videos and am having trouble finding one that talks about the peripheral parts. My Haynes manual doesn't have many pictures and I've been on matthewsvolvosite a good amount looking. Any suggestions? Thanks again, ~Mike
Go to my website and contact me from there.
I know it's a bit late to help you, but maybe this will help other guys... I always take a LOT of pictures with my cell phone as I go along taking apart connectors, hoses, and other stuff. Then later when i put the stuff back together and I forget something, I can look at my pictures and figure it where stuff is supposed to go.
Hello Robert, great explanatory video. I have a v70 that has just had a head gasket replaced by a garage. Unfortunately now there's an oil leak from the mystery hole (not the PCV... the hole with two threaded holes beside) between cylinders 2 and 3! I think that they did not do the anaerobic sealant correctly in that area. Do you know what this the purpose of this hole? In your nice and clear video it can be seem that the hole matches one in the lower head... where does it go from there? Thanks!
The hole to nowhere. Used on '94 turbo cars. Not sealed properly. Hopefully they didn't bend the cover. Take it back.
Thanks Robert! Yup... she's going back today. So the oil is leaking out of the gallery and up into the hole and the bottom of the hole terminates in the lower head.
Hello again, at time 25:09, what is that connection called on the other end of the intake manifold. And, what does it do. That connection on my car was originally broke when I stripped my engine down. Was wondering what it is and it's function. I have to replace it now.
It's a vacuum nipple. It simply gives another port for vacuum to be connected to. If your plug is missing, I'd just get another manifold.
Thanks Robert, this video is very helpful. Manov
you are welcome.
Hey Robert im having an issue reinstalling the cam cover. i pulled it to swap in na cams with new seals. somehow its hangin up in the back right hand corner by the engine mount. what could be causing this? I have the cams facing straight up for the moment and ive moved the sam seals alittle to make sure they where not hanging up on that
+Detriuch Calhoun you need to watch the video again or call me.
Question! Hopefully you have an answer. I have a 1998 Volvo S70 T5 (2.3L 5cyl Turbo). Just recently the camshaft sensor went out, got chewed and grinded up. Wasn't sure why it happened but it knocked off the magnetic reader piece on the old one and did the same exact thing to the brand new one I just put in! I'm lost as to why it has now destroyed 2 camshaft sensors in a day
Cam or crank sensors?
I wish you were in california,man great video .
Thanks for watching
good afternoon I have a volvo 960 2.9l the chore of time broke I put it together but I can not get the engine time does not have marks on the camshafts could you help me thank you very much

Curious, on another site it said to torque head to 20,then 60 ft. lbs and then use 130 degree dial? I have a 2.5T, so is this why you used different ft. lbs.
I do what the instructions say.
Hey Robert, looking for any vids of exhaust manifold removal on the twin turbo, do you have any available? Thank you, great videos by the way
No I do not.
Hi,
thanks for this helpful information
Please I just need to know if is it MANDATORY to use a new bolts or can i use my old ones s8nce i can't find them in my region.
People do reuse cylinder head bolts. Those people are much braver than I.
@@RobertDIY I will check them first for any damage or elongation , if i find them all good , i will reuse it
@@ahmedabou-zeid2542 🤦🏾♂️
@@RobertDIY 😅😅
First thanks for your response ,
Really , Is the official repair procedurs mention that these bolts are non reusable parts and must be replaced !?
The reason for my question is that cyl. Head bolts aren't available in stores in egypt and I must wait for about month to recieve ordered kit from any supplier outside my country.
On the cam cover I have a 96 850 with the 2.4 when I tighten the cam cover the cams lock in place and will not move in the cover now if I loosen all the bolts and just barely snug down it's fine any suggestions
Did you put assembly grease on the cams?
Robert, I noticed you only applied anaerobic gasket sealant on the cover of the head. It's not necessary to apply between the block and head? I am about to put it back together but spring break with family has prolonged this fun task. P.S. Thanks again in advance from me and my Volvo 850 turbo brick wagon.
Probably too late, but you can use a head gasket tack spray to help seal the head gasket to the block and head. Only use anaerobic sealant between the head and cam cover.
just do what I show.
Hey Robert, is the rear cam alignment the same on the 05 2.5T? Redid the cam seals and I’m getting a cam correlation code. Runs drives good, no pings, ticks, knocks… I’ve tried retiming it three times and ever time the the rear of the cams is misaligned I’ve had to twist the exhaust cam 30 ish degrees to line up to the intake to get the locking tool on. Even the first time I did it it was off, but there were no codes before I did the seals. My only thought is the cams themselves ha e shifted and are out of alignment, the cam gears are dead on. Thank you’.
With crank in TDC
sounds like you are doing everything wrong.

I've got a 2007 s40 t5 that jumped time. Where is the cheapest and best place to buy new valves?
I have no idea. I usually get a used replacement head. Besides that, those cars have solid lifters and are extremely complicated when it comes to doing a valve job. Not sure if you want to get into that.
If you use the lock pin on the crank number 1 piston will be tdc corect
I have no idea. you can pull the head, install the lock pin and let us know.

But yore TH-cam Chanel is about volvo engines make one . Then show US. I need to know.
I appreciate your attention to detail, I’m needing to replace my head gasket so this is good information to know. Do you have a video explaining how to remove the head? I’ll dive into your channel right now and look for myself but I’m asking in case I can’t find it, thanks for the detail!

Yes
@@RobertDIY thanks a lot, saving me a lot of time and money
Hey have you ever tried the blue german polyurethane called Rhizoplast for your VC gasket? Its purpose is same as silicone, just has a higher and lower temp resistance. Going to try it for mine. I used it in place for the throttle body gasket and seems to work well.

Wow Robert... I love the quality of your work! I've got a 95 940 Turbo wagon with 210K on it and it still purrs like a kitten. It's time for a timing belt change and at the same time, I'm gonna replace water pump and belt tensioner and replace the cam seals and maybe crank seals up front. Do you have any vids on this motor? 2.3L fuel injected 8V Turbo Single over head... I guess it's what's called the red block engine. Thanks my friend.
It should have an I4 engine. I have not done that video yet, probably in about 30 days.
These are very simple and reliable engines, easy to do all that work on them.
If it purrs like a kitten, think yourself lucky! They usually sound like tractors.
I had a 90 740 turbo wagon, I really miss it.
Hello my friend, my name is Fabio, i'm from Brazil, this procedure is the same to the volvo 850 20v non turbo? the position of camshaft numbers is the same? thank you and god bless you ** sorry for my english, i'm learning to speak

Hi there:)
In my audi a4 b6 2001y 1.8t i need to clean lifters.
When i drain oil and clean spring Inside lifter the next step should be to add oil inside lifter or engine refill it automaticly???
And when I put back lifters again into engine I should wait 30-60 min before start engine? (I hear that it can damage engine if I didnt wait 30 or more minutes) waiting for answer:)
I really don't know about the issue you are asking about. However, if it has hydraulic lifters like my Volvo has, and the lifters are not functioning properly, it is better to replace them. Never heard of cleaning the lifters. As for the process, it would be best to follow the manufacturers repair manual.
On my car I simply soak them in oil. If I do pump them up with oil I just put everything together and start the engine. It will take me longer than 30 minutes to get the engine together enough to start it after placing the lifters in.
hi, good morning.
i do not know who to ask the following, thats why i am bothering you. i have a xc70 2003 2.3T, engine is damage the cuetion is: the 2004 engine 2.4 non turbo fits in my xc70 2003 2.3T using my intake and
exhust ?
greetings from TJ. MEXICO.
I would only swap in a turbo engine.
Would it be ok to remove cylinder head to clean? I would just need new gaskets right
If you want to do it again.
Hello Robert and thank you for wonderful movies! Have any questions shown you can help? Fixes a Volvo B5204T5 engine that has had registry breakdowns due to faulty water pump. How should I check to make sure all settings of camshafts / crankshaft / VVT unit? What is firing order of this engine? Maybe you have a movie with explanations for this? Have a good day Robert!Regards. Arne from Norway.
Hi Arne, if the engine jumped time, the valves are damaged. Please don't waste any more time doing anything short of pulling the cylinder head for valve/head replacement.
