oh well, i guess they'll have to read it all the way through. can't do a shout out up front in the thread...

HEY, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A "QUICK FIX" TO THE PROBLEM OF A BLOWN OUT CAM SEAL, GO TO THE VERY END OF THIS NINE PAGE POST TO HEAR MY "MIRACLE" ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM THAT WORKED FOR ME. Only one caveat, -that it will only work on a non VVVT sprocket cam seal. Take a look, what do you have to lose?

Hey. Just stopping back after 18 months. My "Blue Devil" repair has never failed, even after 2500 miles of often hard turnpike driving last year, over a short two month period. Generally i don't drive this S70 GLT that much, just around town, but the repair has never budged. I did start to have a ...

answering, adding to ozark lee 14 years later in corona virus world. he's right on that you should use a 'battery or a battery charger' to jump window motor directly. while most obvious, i'll add that a pair of jumper cables and a cut off power chord from any trashed appliance like a hairdryer or ...

this may sound crazy, but it worked for me. When this just happened to me 4 months ago, i was about gonna give up on a 260k volvo s70. Exactly as you see in this video was what it was.
I had already looked [desperately, as the leak was too bad] into oil sealants you add to oil. When i finally found ...

okay. So i'm just dirt poor and generally lazy. [and a genius.] This car was a gift and i've got 5 yrs out of it. I can buy many like it cheap on c-list. I shared this for another who faces a 'make or break' decision. Btw, this all happened 3 months ago, and i do punch ii some here and there! So ...

Leaving this cob fix for who needs it. If you have sprockets like seen above with ipd cam lock tool photo, not vvvt cam sprockets, it is possible to use a stubby screwdriver to simply push the cam seal backwards into place, [thru the sprocket holes]. My car has vvvt for exhaust, but the non vvvt for ...

Wow, did i say 'one more'? I forgot to mention that the 'cog' through which i was able to reach my 'popped out' seal wasn't a vvvt cog, as i do imagine both the cam cogs are in the car this thread was about. Whoops. I'm in the wrong forum! My car [2000 s70 glt se] actually has the vvvt cam for the ...

oh, just one more. Blue Devil "Oil Stop Leak" greatly increases the engine's oil pressure. [i actually used smaller version of what i (only) assume is just the same 'formula', 'blue devil rear main sealer'.] Although i can see no harm in this, [and have had no problems], i think it may have gone up ...

just folllowing up on 'blue devil' cam seal fix. i should say that, as said in thread, you need to check for pcv pressure building issues caused by pcv failure. i was worried after fixing this but have passed the famous 'glove test' okay. i will re-do it more thoroughly and even seek some sort of a ...
