I went to the junkyard for the first time, found lots of 5 cyl volvos to pick over. Maybe 20-30 cars.

If the cam seals leak you have to lock the shafts from the back end with the other locking tool. You can get it a LOT cheaper on amazon $50. https://www.amazon.com/EWK-Locking-Crankshaft-Camshaft-Alignment/dp/B00H9WYGNE/ref=pd_cp_236_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00H9WYGNE&pd_rd_r=RDSM6ADWBWT374...

If it is a failed cam seal, do the toothed wheels only go on in one position so you can realign your marks? Ahh, ok, now I see your confusion... No, the sprockets are not "keyed" to the camshaft, they can spin freely if the sprocket bolt is not tightened to approx 83 ftlbs. Thats why you'...

Robert's video is the same 5 cyl engine, same TB and tensioner proceedure. Sounds like you located the leak. I changed both my cam seals, I still don't know which one was leaking. If you don't know for certain when the TB was done, I'd change everything. Seals (not crank seal) TB, water pump, TB ten...

Got mine on Amazon for $90.
Just be sure it ships from us, not china.

Hello, I have oil leak on a right side of the engine. Hard to tell where. I have just taken out the plug from the VVT wheel and found out there is a lot of oil. Is it normal that there is oil or it is indicating that the hub is leaking? The cam seals can leak if crankcase has pos pressure instead o...

Bumping this back up because I finally got a chance to dive into this job. Just got everything uncovered - haven't even started the real cam seal job. My garage is cold and I'm taking my time. My experiences and questions so far, which might help someone down the road - 1. The airbox to turbo hose ...

my bad... that's not the speaker (thank god, since it is riveted in). Oh bad news for me - my front door passenger side speaker sounds blown, was hoping to easily replace it when I finally dig in to investigate why my window on the same door will no longer go down. How is the process to remove the ...
