I have 2004 vovlo xc90 2.9l how i get the head bolt and cam cover torque spec. i installed the turbos and everythingin order now except that i dont know this tourq and angle torque specs. @mrmoodster5405
I have read on a Volvo forum that you may use a small paint roller to apply the sealant. Volvo has their own roller tool you can buy. I understand it has to be a think layer and it should not go on as a bead.
Yes, that is correct. I spread it on with my finger, which is probably the worst way as it doesn't give an even distribution. My thinking was the thicker the layer, the less likely that there will be leaks. I gambled that the excess squeezed into the engine wouldn't get dragged into oil passages and cause blockages and subsequent failures. Yet another bad reason!

I can't say that it is. The Volvo T5 and T6 engines (which mine is) are very similar and use the same procedures and tools. As far as I can determine, the S40 does not use either of these engines.
i had my cylinder head gasket changed but when started after it made a squeaky sound and when turned of and inspected there was metal shavings in the oil. is it totaled or what could that be ?
Hi. I'm not a professional mechanic so anything I say is a guess. If you're getting metal shavings in the oil then something internal is getting damaged. I would advise not running the engine until the problem is found. If the problem didn't exist before the head gasket was changed then it's likely that the mechanic made a mistake somewhere. There's a lot of places in the process where this could've happened. I would suggest getting an independent assessment, either by a motoring organisation (AA or RAC here in the UK can help members) or by an Volvo specialist garage. This will cost, but if it's shown to be the fault of the repairer you may be able to reclaim your costs from them for the work to fix it. Good luck!
@@tonyt1554 Yes, it's been my daily driver ever since. I have some bodywork and engine cooling issues but nothing serious enough to stop it being used.
I’ve seen one video where they only rolled sealant on the cam cover and not the cylinder head. Is it in a tech note to apply the sealant to both surfaces? I just did this job and only applied to cam cover. No leaks. In case I do another one, I’d just hope to know.
Hi. Sorry to take so long to reply. Volvo's own instructions do say to apply to both surfaces, and having to have done this process twice I can see why. Even having applied to both surfaces there is a slight leak at the rear of the cover. Because it is so close to the bulkhead and the air inlet tube runs between the cover and b/head it's hard to see the leak. It's very minor and only shows by drips on the ground after a long run.
Hi. Thank you for the comment. There is no sequence for torque of cam cover bolts as permanent distortion of the cover is unlikely due to the thinner material. It applies to head bolts because the bigger casting can be permanently deformed due to uneven pressure of the high-stress bolts, leading to head gasket failure.
Amazing work i just found this channel subscribed immediately.
Thank you. I hope you find it helpful.

Great video friend, thanks for sharing!

po wklejeniu dekla na uszczelkę beztlenową obowiązkowa ponowna wymiana oleju po 10 minutach pracy silnika !
Thank you for your comment. I did not do this , however I do not seem to have had any problems.

Watching sir.
Good job and many learn your vedeo
Thank you.
I use a roller for the liquid gasket
Is this procedure the same for a 2007 S40 2.4?
I can't say that it is. The Volvo T5 and T6 engines (which mine is) are very similar and use the same procedures and tools. As far as I can determine, the S40 does not use either of these engines.

How about the shims how do you set them
There aren't any shims, the clearance is hydraulic so no manual adjustment required.
Is it still running?

Nice torque sequenced on cam cover totally wrong
Hi. Thank you for the comment. There is no sequence for torque of cam cover bolts as permanent distortion of the cover is unlikely due to the thinner material. It applies to head bolts because the bigger casting can be permanently deformed due to uneven pressure of the high-stress bolts, leading to head gasket failure.
That's why you torque sequenced so you don't have a warpage failure especially with aluminum
