Could be a chassis break?

31104839 Is 1999 2000 only at FCP, BUT volvo we store says it is basically a P2 part

I think your 1999 must have the earlier -1998 part

1275801 harmonicdamper -1998

The index hole looks right in that one.

That would make sense that I have the 98 part here since I don't have variable valve timing and other things that people say should be on my 99. The thing is FCP also has the Volvo blue box part (VOL-31104839) which seems to have both centered and offset alignment holes, where the Corteco only had the offset hole. When I called my Volvo parts department they noted that the original part had be replaced by a new one, so it all adds up. Hoping they send the replacement asap. Thanks for the investigation as always!

Here’s the VVT deep knowledge , deemed 99% accurate

-1998 no VVT solid cams
1999
VVT exhaust on turbo models only
No VVT on NA engines

2000
VVT on exhaust on turbo models
VVT intake in NA models

Ah ok so it's more a factor of having a non turbo for me.

Side note for swapping a harmonic balancer, does anyone have any tips? Yesterday I was able to pull and reinstall it with just a rental puller without locking the cams, the belt seemed to keep timing fine. Was that a risky move?

Some late 1999 NAs did in fact have VVT. I believe Evan had a '99 with VVT... must not have been Evita? Could be mixing that up with someone else on here.

Was it exhaust or intake?

Evita is solid cams on both, 1999 S70

Intake, just like the 2000+ NAs.

Off topic but always meant to ask, is your handle a symbol of your music interests by any chance?
