Looking at 99 S70GLT. The engine needs a valve job and does not run. My question is how reliable are these transmissions. Our V70XC has 330,000 miles on the original tranny but then again I flush every few years. Thanks

She is back on the road. At 319,000 miles.

Thanks for the help. All put back together and on the road.

The belt says 331. Appears to be correct. I'll try again.

I'll take it off the main pulley and see. The FCP part number is CRP-tb331, thats what is on the box.

Volvo V70XC
Can't seem to get the belt over the cams. FCP supplied the correct belt. Doesn't seem long enough.
I've set the belt adjuster to the most slack position.
Suggestions.

OK, want to finish today. New water pump, idler, belt adjuster completed.
Trying to get the timing belt on. Any tricks for this. Adjuster slackened all the way. Hard to see how to get belt over cam pulley. Not long enough.

Just a quick comment. We have had this car for many years. We diid a valve job about 4 or 5 years ago. Good so far. We shall see after this episode.

Thanks all for your help!!!!!

Up date: Like I said , I have all the parts to upgrade this engine, parts from FCP.

Every thing has been removed. I'll tackle this tomorrow. The upper cam have been aligned. Tensioner installed. Idler installed.

Thanks for the assistance!!

OK, before I read this, I had my son give me a hand. He turned the crank and I watched for the marks.
The belt jumped. I have the lower marks set and the upper cam marks are about five teeth past.
Should I remove the belt and rotate the cams BACK to the Marks? And set from there?
