Volvo Forum + help for owners

The car would not even start. So my process would be to set up and re time as you suggested. Then I’m going to do the compression test. Most likely I will have bent valves
Fun fun lol
Thanks again for all the help

Yes I have the correct timing tools and lock the cams. I have done both my v70r with 2 vvt hubs. Setting marks with hubs tight clockwise with cams locked. I have never worked on a car where someone else has incorrectly done timing. But you eased my question. The crankshaft was my concern. I was not ...

I have 2005 v70 2.5 I purchased where timing was done incorrectly. I usually lock up cams line up marks on crank and cams. Can the crank be set on the marks but be 360 off? In other words we know crank does 2 rotations to line up the cams. What if someone made a full rotation on the bottom with timi...

Doing valve job on 2005 s60 with solid lifters.
Can I replace lifters with Hydraulic ones?
If not I adjust valves by file down valve stem to get back to factory spec?

Thank you again for the help. Taking your advise and just rebuild the existing head. I like doing things proper. I have seen the posts on lapping the valves. Think I’m gonna give it a shot and have the head machined and checked. Yea my guy is about $100 bucks for that as well. Again very much apprec...

Never thought of that, makes total sense machined as single unit. Thank you. I have a 2.5 head with dual vvt off a t5 I can use. Still taking to machine shop to test and plane head and valve seals. I noticed the lifters from the non turbo 2.5 were not self priming? And dry inside?? Just curios How d...

I order the “detox it” kit from eBay and plan to try cleaning first. Hope for the best fingers crossed
Thank you for quick response.

Yes i would agree. I just have this V70 with blown rod out side. Car was running perfect before that. I would plane the 2.4 head, just last one we had done cost $599 to do the valves. How would you cross reference the two engines and heads? VIN numbers or are there numbers on the valves and head. Th...

I have the 2006 s40 with no communication to cem showing on vita. P0023, P0020 and P0368
Car turns over, no start. Guessing due to leaking sunroof?? Took out cem, and going to clean and reinstall. Any tips? Should I just send out cem and replace?
Thanks guys

I have 2005 s60 non turbo 2.5 dual vvt.
Head bad, valves bent
Can I use 2.4 turbo head with single vvt if I swap valve cover from the s60? Basically use core of the 2.4 and use cams, vvts and valve cover.
Thanks
