head job

Hi. I had a misfire and after a leak down test and sticking a tiny camera in the spark plug hole I was confident enough to take the head out. I found a burn exhaust valve. I replaced it, but now the tappet/cam follower sits too high compared with all the other in the exhaust. how do i adjust this? i...

It is a bolt holding up a bushing that is pressed into the viscous coupling. I purchased the part, but it required more work than i was wil...

Re: 00 Volvo S80 rear window won't go up

the problem might be in the driver control, sometimes the switches do not make the connections when they are in the released position (allowing the rear one to operate) i would connect all back and try the driver door control for that window, but pull up so very slowly and wiggle the switch slowly a...

Scanned it and did not find anything related.
CAN error is my fault... Installed an interface to get audio, BT and HDRadio input in the factory stereo and didn't reset after unpluging fiber optic.
AQS is just too expensive to replace

Re: 2004 xc90 T6 check engine light blinked once....

Re: XC90 Leaks from Sunroof Drain

Same issue solved in 15minutes. During a bad storm I got in the car to find water dripping from the sun roof. After watt have by a couple of related YouTube videos where people took the car apart to remove the blockage, I decided to try something of my own. I put some bleach in both side drains. Usi...
