Yes he did, head was checked before it was back and valve stem seals were changed, also they changed/repaired valve guides. Maybe they (stem seals) are bad quality ?

But again, i have my positive pressure and dipstick a lil bit out, bad valve stem seals cant affect on that ?

I agree with you, valve stem seals should not cause the positive pressure. Is it possible he hooked up the lines backwards on the oil trap box?

Poor quality valve stem seals is possible, I always recommend only Volvo brand on those. Some aftermarket valve stem seals have been reported to go bad in as little as 6 months.

ps I have to order new stem seals to replace, for sure!

My driveshaft is in, I replaced the rear plate wiring and lights and replaced a few switch lights that were out. Took it for a test drive and all is well... for now. heh.

Nicely done, Dan. Hopefully the car will not require attention for a while.

You can buy a kit from Volvo, it is much cheaper than buying the seals separately: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... hp?t=71962
