absolutly fantastic video I didnt even know this procedure even exsited. installed all new valves. didnt know adj was that critical thumbs yes saved the day
I haven't bought new ones for the Volvo however I have ordered specific sizes for motorcycles. I looked on Rock Auto and they had them but only in one size.
Good video sir, I would like to know what will happen if the valve lash are not adjusted? My car won’t start and I’m suspecting this could be the problem because the head was rebuilt
If there is no valve lash/clearance the valve will not close if the lash is excessive you will have a very noisy tapping valve train. I would recommend checking compression before disassembling anything. Good luck with it 😁
Thank You, I did the compression test and the compression was low . I was asking what are the specs for the adjustment please I want to try and fix mine😂 Thank You
@@ishmaelbaloyi did your timing belt pop off? if so your engine is toast and you need new valves. its not just an adjustment. if you have low compression you have issues in other places
I'm doing this same engine and getting .007 clearance across the board on the exhaust side which is about .009 from nominal. Before I grind these things, that seems like an awful lot and the valve seats didnt look that bad before I lapped them. Does .009 out of spec sound right to you. Engine has 130k
I don't know that the oil supply in the head would be adequate to support hydraulic valve lash adjusters. Once adjusted the solid bucket should be good for life.
@@griesserperformance7801 It will not last for life. The exhaust valves are sinking deeper into their seats over time because they are getting lot more wear due to higher temperatures and subsequently more expansion/contraction related seat wear. I would say it might be good for 100k miles but after that gaps should be checked. Because the very moment the exhaust valve will fail to close completely there will be a catastrophic failure within minutes.
Very true this engine has not proven to be as durable as my Toyota that's for sure at that point I will just put another head together and replace it. Fortunately due to the common automatic transmission failures there are many engines available.@@NilsJakobson
Ffs it is not simple at all check honda valve adjustment... And yes people still complain about Hondas... I like my Volvo but that is shit. Propably not as bad as Nissan but o fuck it...
@@griesserperformance7801 A car F20B6 For example easy setup. I did not want to critisize just got dissapionted to what extend you have to strip the engine to do this. I know that is not a unique design but it is not easy at all to do.
@@dariuszjanowski8224 it's cool no offense taken, that's being a mechanic some engines are much more complicated than others. I'm really a Toyota guy I prefer the 3sgte and 4ag. I've worked on lots of Honda B and H series. Happy wrenching.
@@griesserperformance7801 This engine is a good design, tight. Folks can complain about the headache on rebuilding, but man they go a long time being moderately neglected and only seem to fail when severly neglected as long as you take care of certain piftalls. I mean I have never had a severe lack of oil change ruin anything directly.

Hello. Your video helped me learn how to adjust. I would like to know the adjustment measurements for exhaust and intake.
great video... I figure you can use a piece of wood with some screws in it to hold the cam down while checking clearances
I actually don't think you need to hold the cam shaft down, the 'valve cover' is what provides the clamping force as you mentioned
vida recommends using the cam hold down tool (which I did) without clamping the cam down, how do you get accurate measurements?
Hi, if you don’t have a scrap engine to take pots from, how easy is it to buy new and what would they cost?. Thank you for a really interesting video.

Nice video , I have question , are elring after Market headgasket good brand or I have to go with genuine volvo headgasket ? 2004 volvo xc90 2.9l T6 .
Thank you, I needed this video to fix my s40
Really?
Easy? Not all of us have a spare head to cannibalize lifters, much less a valve grinding machine in our garage!
Facts 😂... we trying to do this shit in an apartment complex

This is really, really good!
Question: it is possible to change buckets to hydraulic ones? So we can end the adjustment one and for all 😅
I don't know that the oil supply in the head would be adequate to support hydraulic valve lash adjusters. Once adjusted the solid bucket should be good for life.

Are you talking Honda motorcycle or car?
