Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

IMG_20210627_150122308_HDR.jpgI'm f***ed. One of the exhaust cam bolts snapped as I was rotating the cam to line back up with the marks.

Haven't touched it since I broke it. Work and weather got in the way, starting on it tomorrow but I picked up a set ...
