In this video I installed the head on a Volvo with an inline 5 motor. This directly applies to the Volvo 850 and Volvo S70, V70 cars built before 1999. You would have had the head removed for the following reasons:
- Head gasket replacement, blown head gasket, over heated motor.
- Replace bent valves.
- Replace burnt valves.
- Replace valve stem seals.
- Replace a damaged head.

Easily the BEST Volvo 5 cylinder head and cam carrier installation video out there.
thanks for watching and sharing.
Hey man. Your videos help me out a lot. I'm a decent mechanic. But I've never messed with a 5cyl or a volvo. I appreciate the time you took to share your knowledge and experience man.
You are welcome
@@RobertDIY so many great comments. no trhread lock. gasket orientation. torque process. much thx! what do you think of GASKET SEALERS like KSEAL or STEEL SEAL rather than a full head seal replacement?
Those little tips and suggestions are very helpful. Nicely done videos. You give a DIY guy like me confidence. Taking time, taking care, and paying attention to details make the job go well.
Thanks Robert, you have a pleasant teaching style.
Glad to help, thanks for sharing.
I pay for Alldata and not a bit of info on these European cars. Thank you for the cam alignment info. Save me a lot of headache. You're a good man. Thank You.
+Rocker Pat you are welcome.
Robert DIY .....I love your vids Rob....but ibhave a question I accidently put a coolant line on a vacuum line and now I have coolant all thru the system.I started it 5 times it was cranking but had white smoke...so we unhooked everything and put the line where they need to be and now the car won't start...could that be from coolant in the engine and how would I fix the problem or is the engine gone???
@@bigyanko360 Unless you rebuild engines it sounds like you might have done yourself in.
Coolant in cylinders, possibly. Crank engine with plugs out to eject the coolant.. Add a capful of oil to help seal and crank again. Replace plugs, start car. Better than giving up.
Wow, great video! I'm now at the stage of reinstallation of a Volvo 850 head in a renault safrane which has almost no tech details from renault and it's slightly modified from the volvo variant. Your video has been incredibly helpful. I appreciate your tip on the hydraullic lifters too - pressing the middle bit while in oil - invaluable.
Thanks for watching
Totally invaluable instruction Robert! You are an angel mechanic of RUclips. I'll spare you the whole story but I have a Volvo V50 that ingested the serpentine belt into the timing belt area causing it to skip time (~20 degrees!) and resulting in 20 bent valves. Taking this thing apart and putting it back together would not have been possible without your detailed and easy to follow tutorials. Thank you!
I hope you seen the P1 video.
Thanks for watching and sharing.
Me and my 850 appreciate your video's! Thank you!
+Don From Mpls you are welcome.
After watching your videos and reading your instructions I was able to replace a burnt head gasket on my v70(learned my lesson, no hot piping a turbo) I appreciate you taking to time to put this info up.
Good deal. Glad they helped.
Just noting: 135° is actually halfway between 90 and 180.
Compass heading of perfect SE.
The heater hose/ ptc fix is still working wonders, btw.
I have burnt ~1 qt in 6000 miles and she just ticked to over 282k miles.
Love the vids and am considering replacing my gal's 5 speed N/A head gasket.
My only prior twin cam head experience was on the 1988 16v GTi.. she still fires right up.
Good deal.
Wow! I'm a gal with only a bit of experience on auto repair but this video is so good, if I had the right set up, I just may be able to do it! I love how meticulous you are because that's one of the first lessons I'm learning is that to fix things correctly, you have to have PATIENCE. I think that's the reason we acquired our 2000 Volvo v40?! I need to work on my patience! LOL
LOL Thanks for watching.
Thank you again for taking the time to put this vid together! really helpful and full of great tips! Cheers.
You are welcome
Really nice video, and step by step explanation, just really fills like you making career out of it.
Thanks for watching
Cake
Looks like to me you know cars and how to service them right. I liked your video sir, very good training video.
Thanks for watching.
Working on mine today and through the weekend. Thanks for making this video. Great information and tips!
you are welcome.
Robert thank you for your videos, i am a retire person from the car industry yet found a 97 850 SW and started restoring as best a could did a complete sustention and is ready to a full paint job to me is a matter of joy yet the engine with a compression even of 210 your recommended test for head failure did not pass any other advise apart of the emission
test??
I don't understand what you are saying.
thanks for the video mr. volvo professor.i have a question.do we need to retourque the head bolts?after a certain kms?
No.
Very good video, thanks. I know it takes longer to explain things but was very well done and helpful
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Robert and thank you for wonderful movies! Regards. Arne from Norway.
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for all the excellent videos Robert. I'm an experienced backyard mechanic and use the videos for any tips and as a recon if you will for the job I'm about to do.
Bought a $300 850 T5 wagon not running a couple of months ago, suspected blown head gasket. Sure enough my diagnosis was confirmed when I got the car home and put the compression tester on the engine. Fortunately, no obvious failures, just a tired old gasket someone had been nursing with head gasket in a bottle.
Just treated the old girl to a machined head, all new gaskets and seals on the top end and all new timing components.
Now I have an oil cooler line to replace and the exhaust manifold has to come off to be machined, it's to warped to seal and I plain forgot to check if it was flat before I bolted it to the head. The engine did fire up and run very well, just sounded like a tractor.
You guys in the states are lucky when working on the back of the head and exhaust, your brake booster is on the other side of the firewall. On right hand drive cars, the booster and master cylinder is right in the middle of the cam cover! I resort to removing the front two cross member bolts and rotating the cross member down at the front about six inches or so. Provides just enough clearance to get the manifold out from behind the head.
Ouch! I recently learned that exhaust manifolds can be warped. Yikes! These head gaskets just don't wear out, they blow because people fail to keep coolant, etc in them.
Thanks for an awesome video!
The lifters has a small hole, and so does the head where the lifters are installed, are you supposed to line those holes up with each other?
Nope.
From the UK Robert, outstanding my man
thanks for watching.
95 850 with 330k miles and still going strong. Probably gonna do this and a timing kit soon!
cool
Hi robert, i have done a majority of the small jobs on my old vovlo s70t5 98 including oil change, pcv, heater core ect with the help of your videos. my next tasks are to be timing belt and water pump, is it worth changing the gasket and doing the top end rebuild at this time? the engine is only on 105000 miles but i feel this car has maybe had a harder life than most as the pcv was full to the brim.I read that i would need a "harmonic balance puller" to do this job but something tells me the advice came from a volvo tech, your veiw on this?
Huh? I have NEVER pulled a harmonic balancer on one of these cars. My car has 340,000 on the engine and it has NEVER been cracked. Do the timing belt and water pump and keep driving.
This Helped a lot buddy😥 I'm a Audi and BMW Tech with a Customer with the same Car lol..and had a massive oil leak on the Cover...missions man lol
thanks for watching.
@@RobertDIY Rob you wouldn't Believe The condition of this motor..every single nut and bolt was incorrect and stripped..all the way thought. Don't get me started on the electrical side..every single cable is stripped open and covered in oil.
Advised the customer to let it go..
FANTASTIC video, as always, Robert!! 16 thumbs down? WTF?
Lazy people not wanting to do the work. lol
Hi robert, my 850 t5r is having a ticking/clicking sound coming from the top of the motor. Should I go ahead and buy a whole new lifter set? Have you ever heard of it being because of some oil pan seals? You seem very experienced with these cars and I would very much appreciate your opinion. I am going to be doing a headgasket/pcv/timing belt replacement coming up this week and I'm wondering if i should put it all back together and see if the clicking persists before replacing any lifters. Thank you for any info and opinion you can share with me :)
I have heard some say that oil pan seals cause lifter tick. I would check oil pressure before I drop the oil pan. The older 850's have older style lifters that are prone to failure. You can get newer lifters, I would get them made for '98 cars. New or used should be fine.
I love your videos, thank you for putting in the effort to film your wrenching
Thanks for watching!
Awesome!
We are looking at pulling the head on our 96 R, but it is mainly for lifter noise. Do you have a recommendation on higher quality parts?
I do not.
I'm having trouble getting the lifters to compress. what would you recommend to compress them. only one compresses. the rest seem to stop against something instead of getting progressively harder to push as you squeeze them.
+Justin Page I don't have a solution, I have never done it.
Hey Robert this us another Robert. Ur info. Is very valuable. Keep Up the great informing videos. THANKS ALOT.
You bet
Comprehensive and clear video. Thanks
You're welcome!
Amazing quality thank you
You are welcome
Hey have you ever tried the blue german polyurethane called Rhizoplast for your VC gasket? Its purpose is same as silicone, just has a higher and lower temp resistance. Going to try it for mine. I used it in place for the throttle body gasket and seems to work well.
ruclips.net/video/pYuszsm9v1c/видео.html
Great video!!! Glad I found you. I have an 04 xc70 2.5T
Cool
I have put my hands on my Volvo many times following your videos, pcv valve, and what not, I just pulled the head took it to the machine shop and next week I'm expecting to install the head and fire up hopefully, I had all I take valves bent and I'm hoping with your amazing videos to get the car started again omgPlease let me know how to align the valves on s70 , God bless. And never quit posting your cool videos, cheers
+DIEGO SOSA-DIAS this video shows how. Did you remove the cam sprockets?
Robert DIY yes I did, was wondering if you see.the marks on the end where distributor goes like the video you showed, however you didn't mention Volvo s70 that was my concern..
ruclips.net/video/3CTNiKlgdFA/видео.html
Yo Robert Sir, I really appreciate your tutorial quite detail. I have to reassemble all parts together while I'm not the guy who disassemble it... LOL😂😂.
Anyway thanks bro👍👍
ouch
@@RobertDIY Can I contact you? Just in case I've confusing with the assembly.... This is my first time to handle european car.. please🙏
u the man, thanks bro.. couldn't of did it without r videos
You are welcome.
Amazing job, great video. Thank you for making this.
you are welcome.
Curious, on another site it said to torque head to 20,then 60 ft. lbs and then use 130 degree dial? I have a 2.5T, so is this why you used different ft. lbs.
I do what the instructions say.
Hello Robert, great explanatory video. I have a v70 that has just had a head gasket replaced by a garage. Unfortunately now there's an oil leak from the mystery hole (not the PCV... the hole with two threaded holes beside) between cylinders 2 and 3! I think that they did not do the anaerobic sealant correctly in that area. Do you know what this the purpose of this hole? In your nice and clear video it can be seem that the hole matches one in the lower head... where does it go from there? Thanks!
The hole to nowhere. Used on '94 turbo cars. Not sealed properly. Hopefully they didn't bend the cover. Take it back.
Thanks Robert! Yup... she's going back today. So the oil is leaking out of the gallery and up into the hole and the bottom of the hole terminates in the lower head.
Question! Hopefully you have an answer. I have a 1998 Volvo S70 T5 (2.3L 5cyl Turbo). Just recently the camshaft sensor went out, got chewed and grinded up. Wasn't sure why it happened but it knocked off the magnetic reader piece on the old one and did the same exact thing to the brand new one I just put in! I'm lost as to why it has now destroyed 2 camshaft sensors in a day
Cam or crank sensors?
Oh god that looks like a lot of work. I may have to do this job and I never did it before.. Do you recommend a more experince person does it or help or just dive in and do it and learn as you go.
Dive in.
When I am doing My final torque I always paint a spot on the 12 O'clock position The I adjust to the 5:30 position to set up My 130° degree AND if you have to do multiple torque steps the paint keeps you orientated in case you get called away or distracted while torquing your cylinder head the paint is a good backup.
I don't get distracted when torquing down a cylinder head.
@@RobertDIY for someone who works at a shop AND gets constant distraction from customers and pH calls or drops tool's or even bosses and coworkers or just things that happen The paint on the bolts let's you know where you left off AND I have seen techs loose their spot AND go to tighten up a bolt that it has had its final pass and strip out the threads especially when you're doing a torque angel.
Hey Robert, I have a question regarding my 2002 Volvo S60. I have to replace the cam cover due to some broken bolts in the VVT solenoid. Would I use the cam locking tool on my naturally aspirated engine?
Absolutely. Why would you have to replace a cam?
ruclips.net/video/5Lqn2D5xc6Q/видео.html
I have a blown head gasket on a 01 Volvo v70 xc awd is it a tough job
lol Yes.
Hello again, at time 25:09, what is that connection called on the other end of the intake manifold. And, what does it do. That connection on my car was originally broke when I stripped my engine down. Was wondering what it is and it's function. I have to replace it now.
It's a vacuum nipple. It simply gives another port for vacuum to be connected to. If your plug is missing, I'd just get another manifold.
Hey Robert im having an issue reinstalling the cam cover. i pulled it to swap in na cams with new seals. somehow its hangin up in the back right hand corner by the engine mount. what could be causing this? I have the cams facing straight up for the moment and ive moved the sam seals alittle to make sure they where not hanging up on that
+Detriuch Calhoun you need to watch the video again or call me.
Hey Robert, looking for any vids of exhaust manifold removal on the twin turbo, do you have any available? Thank you, great videos by the way
No I do not.
Great job Robert!
+jthonn thanks for watching.
Thanks alot Robert, i have a 1996 Volvo 960. I had a major oil leak at the head cover ,now i need put new sealant and reinstall the valve cover the problem is that valve cover can't seal completely on the cylinders head due the Cams are slightly sticking out, do you have any tips on how to reinstall the valve cover correctly, thanks brother.
did you watch the video?
On the cam cover I have a 96 850 with the 2.4 when I tighten the cam cover the cams lock in place and will not move in the cover now if I loosen all the bolts and just barely snug down it's fine any suggestions
Did you put assembly grease on the cams?
Hi Robert, i have a question.
Have a V40 from 2002 so with NON hydraulic lifters.
I drive LPG now for 200.000 km with no problems. 2.0 liter engine 4 cilinder non turbo.
If i want to check the valve clearance i need a special tool to clamp the camshaft in the hearing bedding.
Do you now the Volvo nummer of the tool?
Love your video.s you are a good mechanic
I do not.
Hi there:)
In my audi a4 b6 2001y 1.8t i need to clean lifters.
When i drain oil and clean spring Inside lifter the next step should be to add oil inside lifter or engine refill it automaticly???
And when I put back lifters again into engine I should wait 30-60 min before start engine? (I hear that it can damage engine if I didnt wait 30 or more minutes) waiting for answer:)
I really don't know about the issue you are asking about. However, if it has hydraulic lifters like my Volvo has, and the lifters are not functioning properly, it is better to replace them. Never heard of cleaning the lifters. As for the process, it would be best to follow the manufacturers repair manual.
On my car I simply soak them in oil. If I do pump them up with oil I just put everything together and start the engine. It will take me longer than 30 minutes to get the engine together enough to start it after placing the lifters in.
If I wanted to do a RN turbo swap (straight turbo tube newer ver.) to a 97 850 non turbo transmission in car, which models should I pull the engine from?
One built after 1998.
Hi Robert, greetings. What brand do you recommend for replace the gasket head set for a Volvo 850 1993 GLT

Brother, you have taken me from, I haven't even changed my own oil to almost done reassembling my engine after doing some valve work and replacing the head gasket, so much thanks. I took apart more hoses and electrical plugs than was required to accommodate the lack of tools i started with. I dont know where a lot of the extra pieces go, I've been looking through your videos and am having trouble finding one that talks about the peripheral parts. My Haynes manual doesn't have many pictures and I've been on matthewsvolvosite a good amount looking. Any suggestions? Thanks again, ~Mike
Go to my website and contact me from there.
I know it's a bit late to help you, but maybe this will help other guys... I always take a LOT of pictures with my cell phone as I go along taking apart connectors, hoses, and other stuff. Then later when i put the stuff back together and I forget something, I can look at my pictures and figure it where stuff is supposed to go.
Huh. Didn't know what those angle gauges are for, Thanks for the free lesson.
Happy to help!
Hi Robert, I was late for your video.
I shook my head.
40nm
60nm
90nm
I did not torque 130 degrees.
Do you recommend squeezing again?
🙏
Yes, the final 130 degrees.
Robert, in your infinite experiences with these P80s,
how often is is just a head gasket?
how often is it a head gasket and head?
how often is the block warped?
Just curious... Hope all is good, brother!
+BlastReadingSeries 95% of the time it is the head. Four % of the time it is the head & block. One % of the time it is the gasket only.
Man, thanks for these hard facts. This is a job to take with the utmost certainty! Hope all is good man!
Hello my friend, my name is Fabio, i'm from Brazil, this procedure is the same to the volvo 850 20v non turbo? the position of camshaft numbers is the same? thank you and god bless you ** sorry for my english, i'm learning to speak
Yes
Hey brother Robert, does these cam writing apply to all the Volvos? I have a 2001 s40 that blow head gasket but I don’t remember how the cam shafts was set when I first took it off, that’s my only fear of not setting them right please let me know
ruclips.net/video/gt9w-ZSxs9I/видео.html
Oh my. Call if you need to. I have about 40 timing videos so I don't know where you want to go with this.
Hi Robert. Question:
How do you get your camshaft head so clean? The aluminium is so shiny like a new part. Do you use som kind of acid? No aceton could remove the miscoloring at my sylinder top and camshafttop like your results shows in your videos. Du you wanna share the secret with us viewers? Please? 😉
A shop did it. Probably painted it after the vat dip.
Hi Robert and awesome video and a new sub..I really need your help..I had a guy install a new head gasket on my Volvo S40 2.4i and after he put it all back together the engine is running rough and making a loud noise and stalls out when u start it..it only keeps running making a loud noise if u give it some gas..he told me that the cams must've shifted so the timing is off or something when he put it back together..can you please tell me what's the easiest fix for this now its all back together? Thanks
Take it to a Volvo mechanic and have them fix it properly.
Robert, do you know if using the writing on the back of the camshafts to line up the timing works on a 2002 v40?

Whats up Robert hope you're well, just wanted to ask theres no need to retorque head bolts for these engines? Ive heard on some volvo engines you have to run the engine to operating temp, and then retorque the headbolts.
Wherever you read that information reported as hateful speech.
@@RobertDIY haha sounds good sir!
great video robert. i was wondering what kind of transmision fluid do you use in your volvo's
Cheap Scantech stuff. Watch tonight's video. :(
Uh oh. That doesn't sound good. I'm planning on changing the fluid on my '96 850 with Mobil 1 synthetic ATF: a.co/dcHCJZH
The clutches are saturated with the standard ATF. It's better to use the standard transmission fluid and change it more regularly. The synthetic oil can cause the clutches and bands to slip.
I've never had that happen when I switched from regular ATF to synthetic...even on high mileage cars I've purchased. The important part is that you stick with a fluid that meets the OE specs, as they have specific requirements for detergents and friction coefficients. Pretty normal thing here up North to change all of a vehicle's fluids to synthetic as they tend to flow better in extremely cold weather.
Hey Robert. The Volvo manual says replace all the tappets into the original spots . Mark them upon removal which is which??
OK, do it that way.
850. Yes. I use a paint marker. Although it is very small, they do develop a wear pattern between the surfaces. It isn't critical but it does help it run a little smoother.
Hey Robert, do u have a video on a 2.9 twin turbo head gasket installation? I'm having a hard time figuring out how to install timming belt. Thanks
timing belt should be the same if you did NOT remove the VVT hub.
The notches at the end of the cams. Which on goes up and which one down? On the exhaust and intake?
Thanks Robert, this video is very helpful. Manov
you are welcome.
Would it be ok to remove cylinder head to clean? I would just need new gaskets right
If you want to do it again.
how you snug the bolts from the cover down?i didnt get it really, so you have all bolts in , and then you start loosen them up from the middle?and do it all again ?i have fear breaking the headcover.
atthetipwebs.com/technologyinstructions/head_gasket.htm
awesome , Thank you !
I have rebuilt my Volvo 1999 v70 awd with vvt, head was re-done by a professional when I locked down my cams I used a cam lock tool. My oil pump timing mark was directly on in between the two timing marks in the valley, my two overhead cams were locked when I torqued down the cover, I reset my timing belt & my vvt that I did not touch when removed, the position of the vvt clutch was 1 and a 1/2 to the left, when I placed my timing belt all marks lined up, the crank stayed stable, I turned the crank two full revolutions clockwise, my marks re-aligned correctly. When I started the car it fired, ran for 5 seconds like it was on 1 piston then stalled. I'm going to do a compression test to see if they're all equal, does this mean my valves are okay & can you tell me how to check to see if there is fuel going through the ejectors to the cylinders, I hear my fuel pump working (I did not disconnect the fuel line at all near the intake manifold). Thank you very much, waiting on your reply from a grateful Canadian.
ruclips.net/video/m6tVP6uq9ls/видео.html
Hey Robert, so I'm reading that the cam cover bolts should be 15inch lbs, 13ft lbs, 15ft lbs, and 10ft lbs..... which one is right ? Really don't want to snap a cam or strip any bolts :/
If you want to follow me, read what I suggest in the comments section. I don't have control over what other people post...
Hi Robert! By any chance, do you have any video or link available on how to replace the head gasket on a 2002 Volvo S80 T6 Twin Turbo? Thanks in advance and thanks for helping the Volvo owners community!
Nope
Thanks for your prompt reply Robert!
Thanks for the Video!!
You are welcome
Nice to see someone who knows what they are doing. The dental floss is a great idea.
Thanks for watching.
I overtightened some of the head bolts by a few degrees due to the angle gauge being inaccurate. Will this be a problem?
No
I've got a 2007 s40 t5 that jumped time. Where is the cheapest and best place to buy new valves?
I have no idea. I usually get a used replacement head. Besides that, those cars have solid lifters and are extremely complicated when it comes to doing a valve job. Not sure if you want to get into that.
7:47 I used a Pringles can cover, drilled a hole in mid of it, measured the angles on paper with some algebra which then used to paint dots on that plastic cover then used a zip tie around my socket and cut the tail of it to be about an inch long so it would work as the indicator between those dots on that plastic Pringles Chips cover----
Ufff.... to tighten those head bolts down on my mothers Opel which had a blown head gasket. And has worked for atleast the past 4 years since.
Interesting
Yea loved ur video helped explain alot to me without how most try to look more intelligent using technical words time u figure out what their saying u forgot half what they tring to explain!Need more videos with u showing how to get it done without tring to win a Oscar!😂
I understand. Some people spend to much time trying to sound smart.
My craftsman socket, craftsman adapter, and angle gauge is a little short to reaching the head bolt. Any suggestions?
Deeper socket. I have a socket just for those head bolts.
Hello,
I have a problem on the Volvo 136kw engine, the acceleration is weak at the start, it has trouble starting and when the engine heats up well everything works correctly. I want to know why the starting acceleration is slow and if there is a solution to fix the problem?
Bring it by and I'll check it out.
Great Video Robert. Curious, on a turbo, when removing head, and the exhaust manifold bolts remain in head, while half come out, how do you lift head, does the exhaust manifold need to be removed with head and disconnect turbo and exhaust pipe? Or can you move manifold enough to clear bolts. Thanks
+ARE-YOU-FAT.com swing the manifold forward.
Swing manifold forward? Sorry, does not compute. So with manifold unbolted, and head preventing swinging it forward, do you mean swing in backwards toward firewall? Thanks
I meant to write swing the head forward. I have done a dozen of these heads, I break them free and pivot them forward. Have you tried it?
Thanks Robert, you have been very helpful over the years and I very much appreciate it. One other quick question, on the right side of head looking into engine bay, driver side, the engine support bracket, I can't find lower bolt so it is still attached, can head come off with it attached? Or is that last bolt into the block out of site from top? That bottom cooling pipe bolt is a nightmare without seeing it, so that is the last thing I will attack today. So the turbo can stay in place, right?
I never pull the turbo. The bracket may be stuck on a guide pin.
I wish you were in california,man great video .
Thanks for watching
Hi Robert how do you align the cams on the S70 1998, love your videos, thanks
+DIEGO SOSA-DIAS ruclips.net/video/gt9w-ZSxs9I/видео.html
Robert DIY great.very.clear many tks
Hi robert , I removed the head and I checked for warpage , the head is warped so ill send it to the shop , however the engine block showed around 0.08 mm warpage in the middle between cylinders , is this normal ? The manual does not specify any limitations for the engine block , it does not ask to check it at all !
Not good. You should have that made true as well. You can ask a real mechanic or the machine shop but I think the limit is 0.035. If they have to take to much off the head, taken some off of the block, it may make everything out of its proper limits. So you'll either need a head spacer or replace the engine.
thank Robert excellent video
You are welcome.
Hey Robert! Can you use any gasket maker? Or are some gasket makers thicker than others? Thaknks in advance :)
You can try to seal it with bubble gum if you'd like. I wouldn't try it.
So Robert? What gasket maker do you recomend? Volvo’s own gasket maker or loctite’s gasket maker?
@@yolomaifakka5309 I don't recommend a gasket maker. I use the anerobic sealant. Volvo is recommended. I have used others.
hi robert
do you recommend buying a 1998 v70 with 350 000 km ?

I do NOT recommend you purchase an older Volvo unless you like to tinker or have a lot of money to pay for upkeep.
Can I use a torque wrench to do the 130 on the head or do I have to use the angle Gage
hey robert! great video man! but i have a question. i probably have to replace my valve stem seals so i need to get the cams out. but how do i check the timing when maybe a valve is out of position? i hope i get a response from you and sorry for my bad english, i live in the netherlands haha ;)
Valves do not get out of position. What kind of car do you have?

thanks robert!!
Robert, I completed the headgasket replacement and the car won't start any suggestions? Is it normal for the timing mark on the non- spring loaded vvt hub to be in a different position from the other hub after installing the belt and cranking the engine?
What about marks on the timing belt?

Robert, I put it together and tried starting it but it wouldn't start. My VVt gear does not have a timing mark, just a scratch someone scratched into it as one. Does it matter how this VVT gear goes on the camshaft?
Robert, first of all, you're the man. Been watching your videos since like 2015-16 or so when I got my first Volvo S70. I appreciate all the work you do for us.
Here's my question - 2001 S80 I6 2.9, Combustion into Coolant Head Gasket leak. So I'm going to replace Gasket.
Can I just remove the entire head and go for the gasket alone, or is there any reason I should expect to have to disassemble the entire head, and rebuild it? I've checked out the links, they really helped demonstrating how to get it done, but I would prefer to avoid the entire teardown and rebuild if it's not absolutely necessary.
If it has to be done, or if you'd recommend the whole disassembly then I'll make it happen. Just wanted to double check before I dig into anything.
I believe in doing the minimum. Have the head resurfaced install good parts.
Nice video. Any idea where I can get a shop manual in print for a 2005 xc90 t6? I need to do a head gasket.
Nope

Did you hone your cylinders while you had the head off. If not, why?
Do you repack the grease in the wheel hubs when you change a CV axle?
Hey man so I have oil in my coolant rez I was told my oil cooler is leaking would that be the case or do you think it’s a head gasket?

I don't even know what kind of car you have.
Hello Robert! I dropped and replaced my oil pan on my 04 Volvo S60. My problem is I can't remember where my mounting bolts go. There are 4 long bolts, 3 medium bolts and about 18 short bolts. Do you have a diagram that shows where the bolts go?

Hello, I would like you to help me with some information: the oil meter rod of my car (Volvo V40 2002) is made of plastic and it broke in half, leaving one half inside. I would like to know if it ends up in the crankcase? Is it advisable to move the car like this? If it can cause serious damage? Your guidance would be of great help to me, please 😢
Keep driving until you purchase another one. Just the stick. Then pull the entire tube and you will be able to get the broken piece out of the tube or it will be sticking out of the oil pan hole where you took the tube loose.
