Re: New to Volvos & Forum-possible clogged oil trap
to make sure I have this correct, If I pull one of the spark plug wires and it runs worse, I have low compression. I will try later today and get back to you.

Re: New to Volvos & Forum-possible clogged oil trap
I no how big the outside of the hole is, I was trying to figure out what it was in side the tube and does this go into the oil pan. I tried putting a metal wire through there to clean out and if this does go into the oil pan, I will have to take off and clean as recommended. I still can't believe ho...

Re: New to Volvos & Forum-possible clogged oil trap
Hey Jackelburn, I bought all the parts for the flame trap and have everything apart. Before putting everything back together, I had a quick question. The bottom hole that goes into the block was clogged, from what I have read this goes into the oil pan. First is this correct and second, how big is t...
