Okay for those of you driving these older Volvos (and maybe some newer) at some point you may face the same issue I did with my wipers. While driving down the road I hit a bump and my wipers quit working. The issue was that the bolt that holds the wiper arms to the motor came loose. I fixed it but t...

Newest update, I found out it wasn't the brakes that were giving me a problem. The guy that originaly starting helping me took off the axles in the beginning when I wasn't there. Well when he put them back in he put the axle nuts on but didn't tighten them. Just goes to show ALWAYS check someone els...

Yeah. Unfortunately this car is going to break me. I pushed the cam seals back in and am hoping that they won't be an issue again. But if they are, well, I guess I'm getting a couple new pieces of rubber. Next is a complete brake job. Man I tell you this is by far the most I have eer had to do to a ...

Not so golden after all. I pulled into a Advanced Auto after driving for maybe half an hour and noticed my oil light was on. I pulled in and checked it and sure enough it wasn't even registering.

Make sure to bolt the manifold up to the head before dropping it in. Also be ready to replace a lot of hose clamps. The one...

Hey guys. Just wanted to throw out a quick update. I ordered my head on Wensday and it arrived today from Clear-Water Cylinder Heads. Great people to deal with. Even got the discount for being prior service. The head looks great, but we'll see what happens when it's installed. http://i30.photobucket...

Thanks guys. I called them up. I have to call back with my casting number but this may be the route I go. Thanks again.

Ever find the company with the cheap re-manned heads?

Well, I was getting close to doing some work on Project 850, when disaster struck. While doing 45mph my timing belt snapped. No biggy right? Yeah, except for the fact that even with the new belt on it still wouldn't start. So I pulled the head. I had to valves broken off completely and all of the ex...
