Oil pressure is good i guess, haven't measured it but my dash light goes right out. Maybe my pressure is enough to satisfy the light, but not the top of the motor. Sounds Volvo-ey, like the temp gauge that isn't very accurate. I took a video. How do I upload it into my post? Sorry for the stupid que...

This has probably slid pretty far down the topics by now, the noise persists. The mechanic mentioned possibly the oil pump gasket sucking air, and I know i have leaky oil cooler hoses. Would either of these contribute to my problems? Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the replies. Yes, he's a Volvo and saab shop. He does good work. All oem parts. He showed me the old lifters, but I couldn't distinguish a collapsed one. It does seem quieter after my drive to work, so we'll see I guess. I usually run rotella dino 5-40, but when I had the rings done the m...

Hey guys. I was having problems with noisy lifters in my s70. About three months ago, i had a tick that would go away after a few minutes of operation. It developed into a tick that persisted, then got louder. I took it in to my local Indy for an oil pan o-ring job. Tick persisted, then got louder s...

Today I replaced the CBV on my 98 s70. Went fine, I did go and buy a 10mm ratcheting pivot head combo wrench, so score there. The diaphragm didn't have any holes but the rubber had obviously seen better days. New diaphragm from kinugawa (ebay)seemed to be slightly larger in circumference than the or...

Fixed it. After pulling in next to an 850 at the park and ride, I looked under it to compare clearance. Pretty close like mine. Once I got the right part(front right mount) and installed it, I no longer want to set my car on fire. Proof in pudding that I am not a mechanic. The car is very quiet now....

Looks familiar lol

My 98 s70 t5m with green tune is a dog in the summer. It's 101 here in tx today, a.c. blasting. My cbv is tired, I have a Mitsubishi replacement and an iPd blue spring to swap in but it's too hot and I'm lazy lol. I just drive slower. A friend asked me earlier if I wanted to race, I replied "no...

Greasable* stupid autocorrect

Well, just got done looking a little further today. I have red line readable sway brackets and noticed they were pushed forward a bit, so undid the links and loosened the bracket bolts and pushed it back as far as I could. Buttoned it all back up, I have a little more clearance but still seems awful...
