Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Over the years I've done a few TB's on 240's and 740's, also one on a Porsche 951 and a Porsche 928s. The job doesn't intimidate me at all... but I'm almost 60 now. Rolling around on the ground in Minnesota-- it was sunny and 32 -- was just more stress than my body liked. And it was one of those day...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

The timing belt is installed, and I think it's right.

Re: Is it possible to remove the engine of an S70 out the top, without removing the CV axles first?

The engine is out. I had to remove the axles. There was no way it was going to come otherwise.

90 degrees and humid here in Minnesota. It took me about 4 hours.

I lost 3.6 lbs. in that time.

I think I need to hydrate.
