Fixing Everything Wrong with my Volvo V70R's 5 Cylinder Engine! (Manual Swap Ep.2)

In this video I'm completely resealing my cheap Volvo V70R's engine and fixing all of its issues!

this series makes me feel like I belong, like I'm part of the process

Came here for the Volvo (there's not enough Volvo enthusiasts out there) stayed for the great video ( well shot, edited and narrated/explained).

Do not install the cam cover with impact gun, use the "T" tools that you used for removing it. The threads are easy to strip and then you cry with new oil leaks:) Same goes for timing tensioner, aluminum is not grateful for impacting.
Great channel, keep it up!

When I was sick in bed, I discovered your channel and I would like to say that despite the current 35.200 subscribers, this really feels like a 300k or 500k channel. The quality of the video is very good, not too much fuss, calm music and someone who doesn't act like a know-it-all.

My sincere compliments!

Doing something wrong is of course incredibly sh*tty, but completely natural. As my uncle always says; those are study costs.
Keep it up man, as many of your viewers would say.

Power tools are for taking OFF the hardware. Hand tools and torque wrench are for putting ON hardware.
23:00 use the old seals placed on top of the new to hammer them home if you haven't got any huge sockets to use. Less chance of damaging the new ones.

As a swedish guy who works at a Volvo workshop, and own a P2 V70 myself, it's really entertaining watching you fearlessly tear apart these cars, and giving them all your love. I'm amazed how much you guys like these cars over there!

Keep up the awesome work, I love watching your videos, they're very well edited and I love following your progress with these cars 😊

Love from sweden ❤

V70R 6 speed is my daily, absolutely NO ONE is doing videos like yours, this is the exact stuff I’m looking for to learn more about my car before diving in, keep it up.

You will have to redo your timing belt a third time for two reasons: 1. You forgot the rear cambelt cover and you need to pull the water pump and belt roller to get that on. 2. You "official seal installation tool" does not make certain than the VVT pulley seals are in the head the correct distance, like the 90 dollar factory tool does. If you put them in too far or too shallow, your VVT hubs will leak oil. You could take the gamble, but since you are going to pull it off anyway and the engine is out now, it is hardly any trouble to verify you are in the correct distance.

I like how "at home" i feel with your content. No fancy garage setup or tools. Just good old creativity and thinking twice before doing. The warmest of greetings from Sweden and thank you for bringing this beautiful car back to life.

Last 5 days I am glued to YT watching this amazing series. I am big Volvo fan, I drive V50 from 2006, and I LIKE early 2000s Volvos. So to see somebody so passionate about fixing everything is amazing and I really enjoy watching this series. I eagerly await next project, keep on good work.

@17:39, just a tip. In the future, get one of those small sponge rollers and dab the sealant over the cover (and not the head). Then roll all over the flat surface of the cover so it creates a thin layer. You don't want to much either, I can't really tell but the amount you put on looks WAY to much. Hope it helps for the future :) Good work!

The crankshaft locking tool locks against the number 5 rod which means it only locks one way. If you spin the engine the other way the rod is free to move.

The cam gears have little marks on them and it doesn’t exactly matter how they go back on but i also does. If you put the plastic cover back on, the little marks should line up with the marks on the cover which would ensure you aren’t for example half a tooth off on the belt which would leave the belt less tensioned on the drive side.

Also definitely use the same tools to install the cam cover that you used to take it off. The cam seals should sit out a little further, almost flush with the head and valve cover.

The timing belt tensioner should be set depending on how warm or cold it is outside. Room temp is in the middle. I would also definitely lube up all the o-rings before installing them. Glad to see someone making quality videos on these cars!

I love this series because it reminds me of when I used to work on my S60 T5.

[Jeroen]

If I'm not mistaken you're supposed to use a foam paint roller to evenly distribute that anaerobic sealant.

I think you're going to have to redo the timing again, unfortunately - you didn't put the inner timing cover on before the pullies and belt. Pretty sure I did the exact same thing when I refreshed the engine on my S60 a couple years back. I also remember that crank "locking" tool being a joke lol, it's not your fault it moved.

Anyway, I've been really enjoying the videos, I've been wanting to manual swap my S60 since before it ran lmao. It's nice to see someone else around my age interested in these cars. Keep up the good work 👍

Again, fair play to you buddy. Stumbled upon you a while back. Don't possess nor desire a Volvo. What you've done so far is extremely admirable. This isn't give a go DIY. It's balls deep. People wonder why.. it's the smile you get heading down the road in your mode of transportation you made possible. Respect 💪

You should really shim the block it will prevent it from cracking and you won't cry yourself to sleep at night or if you really want to go all out send your block out to elevate for some custom sleeves which is not really necessary here in this application but if you are going to in the future build this car to make high numbers then for sure do so.

I really like watching you working on this old Volvo! I mean everyone is working on their bmw or audi, and you are doing Volvo, keep going!
