copper can be annealed with a propane torch.

Probably cracked head or just head gasket You can’t move ECM units in Volvo’s after 1998 Ok, would my ecm work with any of the 2.5T Volvo's? My u-pull now has 5 2.5t's of various years. I've been searching for the last two hours for an engine compatibility list, with no luck. I can't afford to spen...

Great job. The best Lathes have the bed hand lapped/scraped to get that final accuracy. Better than the machine can do. Machine is just way faster and close enough for engine heads. Yes. Having good tools does help. However I went low this time, the biggest investment was a $50 glass shelf ;) I act...

I have a 2004 V70 with 118K miles, well-maintained. One day, engine stumbles, difficult to maintain idle at 700 rpm. CEL is on...

Just to conclude here--the second used transmission is in the car and working perfectly. I spent a long time making sure the fluid was fully flushed and at exactly the correct level while the fluid was at 40 degrees C. Though I didn't take the plunge and remove the bellhousing side case, I'm confide...

Just a quick update: the 05 XC70 was fully reassembled, started, and driven today. That's progress. Now to drive it for a few weeks to make sure the oil leak does not return. I had to replace one of the engine oil cooler coolant lines because I set the bevel gear on it and the line split. Other than...

Happy to say that I fixed all of my problems (haven't tested AWD yet) and all that I did was remove all the fuses/relays and insert them back in. None of my fuses/relays had any corrosion so not sure what fixed it but I'm just happy everything works. I was able to crawl into the back via the driver ...

I did this video quite a while ago, this may help if you have doubts on your torque wrench, to get an idea if it got off calibration. Surely not very accurate test but may give a little peace of mind. Usually torque wrenches get off calibration when left under tension- the one in the video is just a...

yes it should have 2014, you might need to remove the steering pump to even view it with a mirror.
