Re: Volvo 850 misfiring #2 cylinder
UPDATE:
So the head is off and we flipped it over and looked at cylinder two and one of the exhaust valves had a huge hole in it so that was the problem now gonna get a new one and a valve job and replace the gaskets !
thanks everyone!!

Re: Volvo 850 misfiring #2 cylinder
I used seafoam and it didnt do anything, so i took the cam cover off and the shafts, nothing looks wrong with the valves so far no carbon build up on cylinder number two, so now going to remove the head and go from there not really too sure what im looking for now.
