- I explain some important point to know while cleaning the cylinder head and cam cover if you have any questions please leave a comment and I will get back to you. Thank you.
Hello Jed, thank you for this and your other videos on the Volvo 3.2 6 cylinder engine. It is the same as the LR2 (Freelander 2 in UK) 3.2 i6. The petrol/gasoline engine is not so popular in the UK but I love it! We use ours to travel between the UK and the centre of France, (usually about 12 hours driving) and recently suffered from an overheated engine. The problems, following on from a split bottom hose and loss of coolant, were my fault. I should have stopped immediately and called for recovery... Instead I continued driving to the garage... Big mistake, as I warped the cylinder head. We are in a very rural part of the country and in some respects like stepping back in time so, 'we' decided to have a go and strip it down ourselves. We have the Land Rover workshop manual but it assumes that the engineer is already trained on the vehicle and so leaves gaps in the procedure. Your videos are excellent as they take us through physical method of putting key components back together as well as demonstrating the things to be careful of. I cannot thank you enough, You are a star! Emma x
Thank you for your feedback, and I am happy everything worked out.
Your video is very helpful
Omg what a project
True.

What aftermarket headgasket brand other than genuine volvo can be recommended.
This helps a lot.
Happy to help.
Thanks bro!
I’m replacing my cam cover I just placed the six O-rings is there another port that I need to put a gasket on front of the motor right side?
I have oil leaking into my spark plug tubes on my 2002 Volvo S60 2.4T. Based off of these other comments it seems like it is due to either a bad O-ring around the spark plug tube or the cam cover seal has gone bad. My question is, how difficult is it to take off the valve cover and will I have to have that special tool to do so? Also curious if it’s possibly smartest to just replace the head gasket at the same time as I have an issue of burnt coolant. Thank you.
You will need tools to reseal the valve cover, as far as the headgasket, if you have no problems with it I would leave it alone
@@TheVolvoGuy I’m definitely going to have to do the head gasket… when I changed my plugs I discovered at least a half inch of standing coolant in the cylinder…
Awesome content, deep respect to your knowledge and the way you share it. I've found myself in a tricky position where I discovered in my recently purchased c30 t5 one of the 4 short bolts around the spark plug coil #1 snapped and the remaining half of the bolt is still threaded in the head. Oil builds up, fills the hole and accumulates in the casting puddles around as when oil is spilled over the valve cover when putting fresh oil thru the filler neck. Also noticed when changing spark plugs oil sips in and almost covers the spark plug too. I have a few mods and ready to get tune to stage 2 or 2+ meaning another 60 to 80hp and 100 to 130 tq increase. Should that be addressed or can I live with it cleaning the excess oil every a couple of weeks. Maybe try sealing the hole with silicone? Should I try removing the broken bolt? I would love not to remove the valve cover, but every not volvo expert I've asked have different a opinion.
I have a 2012 Volvo S60 T5. Have had oil on my spark plugs, so I am thinking it is the valve cover. How would I go about that on this car?
There are o rings that go around spark plug holes on the Cam cover, but the Cam cover will have to be removed in order to do that.
@@TheVolvoGuy is there anything I have to do with the cams?
A few quick questions, are the two rear cam plugs easy to install? Do they require any pink sealer? Can I carefully use a pick to pull out the old leaky cam plugs and press in the two new ones? And what should I use to prep the surfaces where the new cam plugs go, just wipe out the oil? Should I clean with a degreaser or alcohol? Thanks for any tips!
The caps do not require any sealer, but you do have to replace them, using a pick will damage the cap surface or the head/cam cover surface.
@@TheVolvoGuy Thank you!
Hello i have a question. What is the valves clearance, i found that on this B6324S engine only exhaust camshaft need to be adjusting.
As long as you don't change the valves, the Camshaft or the Tappit, or the tappit location, then no adjustments are needed. The intake clearance is .200mm +- 0.05.
Love your comments.have a 2012 t6 engine with a clicking sound behind the starter motor have 4 mech.working on the problem.have any idea what it can be? the mech are pulling the engine apart at great cost to me. thanks Jed.
You are welcome.
I have a question on a 2007 C70 camshaft installation. I could not get out the crank pulley but i have all the timing tools. Is there any risk involved if both the crank and cams are locked? Doing a cylinder head job.
What you mean by locked?
The question I have is the oil filler cap stand in the head has been displaced and is now partially recessed in the head. Is there any chance of removing the cam cover and getting the cap stand reinstalled. I can't pull it up from externally . Have another engine without that problem but the timing belt jumped and valves are bent; 0 Compression. God another engine but that is the one with the oil filler cap stand problem or am I going to have to take the heads off and try to make the one with the bent valves operable since the cam & head are mated together. Additionally, I do not have the special tools to do a valve job. Car is old enough that there are not that many decent used engines available.
Now the oil filler screen fell inside the head and you can't get it back to its place? If that is the case then yes you have to remove the valve cover to reinstall it. If you have another cylinder head you have to fix the valves and swap the head and the cam cover as one unit you can not change the cam cover by it self.
About to do the infamous s80/xc90 valve cover gasket replacement. A little unclear on use of the sealant. You're using this in addition to and for holding gaskets in place while you reassemble, correct? Thank you.
No the pink sealer is the gasket there is no other
How do you time the volvo engine?
I have a 2.3 5 cylinder turbo engine. I noticed that I was getting oil into my spark plug ports. I've replaced my pcv system soft and hard lines as well as the fire trap or pcv box. Then i replaced the oil filler cap gasket. Still have new oil appearing In my spark plug ports. Was wondering if the next step should be to replace the o rings for the spark plug ports. If yes could you help me understand the timing set up and if I need the special tool to hold the cams in place. Also was thinking if I have the timing belt off I'd do the the belt, tensioners, and the water pump. Hoping you could make a video before I start ripping into my daily.
What year is your volvo?
I need to reseal my cam cover. Can I leave the timing belt on and just remove the cam cover or do I need to remove the belt before removing the cover?
The cam cover holds the camshafts in place so if you have a T5 would have to remove the timing belt. If you have si6 or T6 you have to remove the timing chain and covers in order to remove the cam cover and reseal it.
@@TheVolvoGuy My car is a 960
@@robbiehattaway5765 what motor you have in there?
Hey I have a 2005 s40 2.4l ticking sound I just had the timing done can u help
What kind of ticking noise and from where and when does it happen?
Hi there, its been a long time but I still decided to ask. I heard you say in a another video that by Resealing the cam cover you guys fix the oil consumption on SI6 engine with turbo. How does the oil get in the culinders from there?
It leaks into the pcv channel and into the intake.
@@TheVolvoGuy ooo ok that makes sence :))
Thanks a lot
@@antonkaloyanchev4033 you are welcome.
I have an xc90 4.4 that I think has a leaking valve cover gasket. How difficult is it to replace. It looks like just the back one is leaking, do I need to replace both?
Hi,
You would have to remove the power steering pump then the intake manifold then the induction pipe. Then the wiring and some brackets that is attached to the valve covers. You do not have to replace both, but if you doing all that work would you want to do it again if the other side starts leaking a year from now? I would change both.
Since you have the V8 engine you have normal valve covers no need to mess around with timing chain or timing for that matter.
I got a stuck valve cover plz give me some positive feedback 2007 xc90 3.2
Sorry, I didn't see this in time.
Hola gracias por compartir tus conocimientos..yo necesito saber la sincronización del árbol de levas motor land rover Freelander 2 año 2011 gracias
Sorry, is this Spanish?
My spark plug O-rings are leaking, causing oil to build up in the plug wells. My question is this: Do I need to remove the cams to reach the seals? Or can I just take off thee valve cover and then replace the seals? Its a 2.5T 2006
Hi,
You have to remove the cam cover in order to get to the O rings in which you have to remove the camshafts and Time your engine. Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy your day.
You can get the cover off and change those orings without moving the cams if you're careful. Need to hold them with some locking mechanism, leave the belt on.
Thanks! I actually did the timing belt at the same time. Since the belt was off I could take the cams out without issue. Also change a bunch of other seals. Amazingly with 200k mile, there wasn't so much dirt and the metal still looked to be healthy.@@travonmiller5279
Can you please send me the procedure how to remove the valve cover on a 2010 Volvo XC70 it looking just like the way you have on RUclips I remove all the bolts on the cover and the cover still holding in place I also remove the star keys in the front of the engine 5 bolts holding the cover still not want to get off do I also have to remove the timing cover in the front where the AC compressor belt is
Ali R Jalloh send me your email and i will give you all the info you need.
Thank you Jed
Have you made a video on how to remove the valve cover?
I would also like a video on how to remove the valve cover to replace the spark plug cylinder seal
I have a volvo s60 2.5 and it is pouring out oil front cam cover what can it be? The engine is not cracked mechanic did try and losen couple bolts did that depressurerized the cover? I mean its leaking pretty bad.
Yes once that seal breaks no way it going to reseal you have to remove the valve cover and reapply the seal
@@TheVolvoGuy it is a big job what parts would u have to buy again i no belt and cam seals right?
What parts excatly?
@@andrewsantana1660 you have to replace the timing belt if there is oil on it. The cam seals and the cam cover seal it's a pink tube have to be rolled on.
@@TheVolvoGuy how many cam seals 4 of same pieces?
Hi, hoping you could share some knowledge on 2005 2.4i out of a s40. I had to replace entire cylinder head and can not remember where green o-ring went? Also any tips on installing cams and cam seals would also be appreciated! Thank you!
Sorry, I didn't see this in time.
@@TheVolvoGuy lol all good. It's still running so I must have figured it out, which now I don't remember 🤣
@JM JM as long as it's running good, that's all it matters.
