For anyone wondering, the long bolts go towards the crank pulley.

Second person this week with a blown out poly mount. Believe it or not, my new S70 actually has a good rubber mount! I've never bought a white block car with a good upper torque mount (well, except for my R that has an iPd poly mount from the previous owner).

Are those ipd mounts a good replacement over oem?

I like mine, it's the black race/competition bushing. I also have the Powerflex bushing on the firewall side, as well as the iPd poly lower torque rod. I also have the iPd poly subframe inserts. They all seem to tighten things up nicely, but I could see how vibrations could get a little irritating in an automatic car if you're sitting at a stop on the brake pedal. Fortunately mine is manual, so I don't have to worry about that!
I do notice kind of pulsating vibrations when I'm at a stop in neutral, but I don't know for sure if that's the mounts. I'm pretty sure it it though, haha.

...that said, if all goes well today and the '01 is sold, I'll probably have another Volvo by Monday lol.

I actually did a straight trade with the dealer: my 01 v70 base for this 98 v70 xc. Loving it.

Picked up my S80 from the body shop. It looks good except the refinished wheel does not match the original wheels color wise. June

Got the S70 engine just about ready to pull out... there was a slight change of plans after inspecting the cylinder walls more closely. I'm just going to source a replacement engine at this point, no point in refreshing the head and dropping it on this engine.

Piston rings

Yeah, that’s toast

It's looking better now that I've rolled over the engine a few times, but I'd rather pull it anyway just for good measure. That damn passenger side axle carrier is seized up and holding me up... once that's out, the engine should separate from the transmission no problem. I really should have just pulled it all together.

Engine came out last night! Now to source a replacement...
