Followed the great tutorial found at VolvoSpeed, but discovered a few tricks. 1. With the jack supporting the transmission instead of the rear of the e...

This was a working unit when I pulled it. Includes arm and wiper blade (drivers side). You arrange shipping and it is yours free.

recently broke head bolt on my burnt valve adventure. Soaked with PB blaster, placed bolt atop broken piece and hit with 2 lb hammer several times.

So, finished head reconditioning after burnt exhaust valve. 99 V70 XC, 152,000 miles. I consider myself a fairly competent mechanic, got everything together, started car and ARRGH, exhaust leak! Cooled her down, figured I missed a couple bolts. Rechecked, and re-torqued. Started again and still leak...

Am I missing anyth...

Appears regular maintenance performed (stickers on air filter box and cabin filter with mileage due dates, paint pen marks on cam gears a...

Just finished pulling the head on my 99 V70 XC, burnt/chipped valve on NR 2 cylinder. Lost power, running rough, checked compression (after coil, etc) and got 30 lbs. Did leak down and decided it was the valve. 6 hours later, head is on the bench. Still have to pull all other valves to see what I'm ...
