Re: ISO post that specifies the mods done to the Volvo 850 wagon for races

Also I remember a film at the time talking about the custom built cylinder head. It alone was quite a feat! Emissions regulation probably made the design, even a lesser version impossible to sell. ie. like the dealer installed STAGE 2 455 Buick. Even in 1970, you ordered a STAGE 2 GS455 it arrived f...

Re: Slow cranking after belt fail

Did the belt wrap around the crankshaft pulley? If so it is known to effect the timing belt. It is a problem on the S60 2.5 for the belt tensioner to fail, allowing the belt to wrap around the crankshaft pulley causing the timing belt to fail. Essentially damaging the valves. I personally have been ...

Re: Good thoughts for Grayson the Volvo Cat

That's awful! Losing a fur baby is so hard. I really hoped he had overcame whatever was wrong. Be sure to give the other babies extra love! I'm so sad... June

Re: Radiator protection?

Yes replace the front springs. I replaced the radiator in my S80 from the same problem. Dealership replaced the front struts, springs and associated mounts, seats, etc. This raised the front end up better than 2" and thus no more scraping parking stops. Use aftermarket stuff and who knows... Fa...

Re: Belt fail timing jump

Re: Belt fail timing jump

I would say luck was on your side! I was shocked the first time I read about it. That's the beauty of MVS! We get to learn from others. June

Re: Belt fail timing jump

There is no more valuable resource than the interweb and forums..no matter what you have..if it is mass produced..somebody somewhere has had the same issue. I was looking at the other cover..and it appears that..really all I would have to do is bore a hole through where the other sensor goes and I ...

Re: Belt fail timing jump

You could go with one of the MVS sponsors. My car only gets Volvo Genuine parts from my Volvo dealership only. That's just my preference. Have you explored the sponsors like FCP Euro? I would not use Ebay, as I have read on here where people have gotten counterfeit parts rather than the advertised G...
