Hey guys. It's been a while since my last post, but I have been reading a lot here and there. Currently "rebuilding" a used engine for my car. Replacing all of the gaskets and seals except for the valve seals. I purchased a used engine, tore it down to the block (left the pistons in place) and am in ...

I used to be a pretty frequent poster on this site, but when the head gasket on my S70 gave way a few years ago, I parked it in the back yard and forgot about everything Volvo. I was recently doing some yard work and opened up the door to move it to a different spot and fell back in love with the ...

I knew if no-one else replied, you two would! How have you guys been? Good to see you guys are still around!

I know I have seen posts in the past that described removing the engine from the bottom instead of the top. Which would be easiest? Should I pull the tranny as well, or is there even enough ...

My experience tells me that you may want to get ready to clean/replace the pcv system.

Have you checked the clutch plate gap with a feeler gauge? It should be between .020-.015. If the gap is larger than .020, then the clutch is worn. I have a quick/simple/cheap fix for this, so if it is worn, let me know.

Have you checked the clutch on your ac compressor?

I just hope it helps someone out!
