Cylinder Head Replacement Project – With Photos
djm850 » Well, this Saturday makes 4 weeks into the job. While I’d imagine it could be done by a volvo mechanic in probably 2-3 days, I’m traveling 30 miles to a friend’s shop where the car is, as well as I like to be thorough and rarely rush things like this. I posted a few questions within other topics here and appreciate the responses.
Timeline: I completed the teardown in about 10 hours. Shipped out the head to Cylinder-Heads.com in Clearwater for rebuild and I just got it back today. In the meantime, I disassembled the intake manifold and completely cleaned it including the throttle body, cleaned up the injectors (replacing both O-rings and seats), sandblasted the exhaust manifold, and have 3 piston tops still to clean before reinstallation (which I hope to begin this weekend). Here are some pics from along the way.

Hi Matt, I just installed a reconditioned cylinder head to my S40 Volvo 2000 T2 Auto, changed cam shaft sensor,all the gaskets,o-rings etc.,new spark plugs,bleed coolant and tried two different timing settings but still I am unable to get the engine to start. Definitely there’s a spark,petrol is feeding but still unable to start this car?It cranks when I turn the key but it seems there is missing that it does not come to live? Would you have a clue what I am missing in here?
I will greatly appreciate any advise from your side. Thanks
