I am pretty sure the steel seal is still good, # 5 is not getting water intrusion. My thought process is that the gasket is just deteriorating (02 with over 100,000 miles) or the head is slightly warped due to overheating once. I see it as at least two seperate leaks, one fixed with the SS which was a coolant leak into cylinder, the second was oil into coolant and then collant into oil which I think is the same leak.

Any thoughts on the tool that holds the timing gears in place during work??

Awesome links! After talking to the tech guys at SS that is the process I used, and it worked great. Will find a test kit and do the cumbustion gas test..........thank you.

I have not done a head gasket nor timing belt for over 25 years so...
If you need to work on the Head Gasket perhaps this maybe helpful even though it is for the 850.

Oh, we did leave it in the system after the treatment. The flushes were with the cascade cleaning at this point. Any thoughts on the cam locking tool? Going ot find an exhaust gas tester today if I can find one.

It may very well be the tool in question. Have not seen one, but that looks like it will lock the two gears together.

Thanks,

Hi I have an indefinable leak, coolant is definitely getting burnt, sweet smell, clouds of steam on a cold start until warm. No cross contamination at all. You mention in this thread that you have tried "Steel Seal". Now I asked our cheerful chappy Scotty Kilner if he thought it would work on a 850T5R (aka Turbo), he said he had never seen it work, as there is too much pressure. He says the same about Normally Aspirated BMWs for that matter.

If you have tried it, what is your report? I would love it to work, I have just bought the car at collectors price, it is in excellent general condition, so you can imagine €2k or more workshop repairs on it are more than I can bear. Before I waste €90 on Steel Seal, I would very much appreciate some feed back from a real world test on a Volvo Turbo.

Thanks in advance, I really need this information, so please let me know.
