    Indeed!

    I have another to add to the list. Whilst browsing the Volvo tech manual I found an article on torque steer. Apparently you have to measure the gap between the engine subframe and each driveshaft. If the difference between sides is any bigger than a 5mm (I think) then the gearbox mount on the N/S can be adjusted to eliminate/reduce the torque steer.

    Trying to find the procedure again.

    So now I'm cleaning up the subframe, gearbox and angle gear.

    Decided to crack open the angle gear as I have some new oil to go in it (and I'll be replacing all the seals in it, might as well). Inside I found 2-3mm of baked on and sludgy oil, bearings are clogged up but still move. Must be as a result of the heat from the engine and exhaust which are in close proximity to it. Trying to find a chemical which can remove the baked on oil, have some products but need something to get inside the bearings...

    Having some trouble cracking the output shaft nut, gonna have to break out the big bar and a bigger vice. The manual says it's torqued to 180nm

    Piccies of the sludge

    It has done around 160k, think it is on the service schedule, I'll have to look it up in a bit.

    It's pretty much cleaned up now, though I had to scrub hard, that dried on stuff is a b*tch to move.

    Managed to crack the pinion nut, had to make up a bar with some pins to hold it.

    Gearbox is finished....

    Took longer than planned as some fool forgot to put the magnet back in the bottom so had to split it again, clean off and reapply the sealant.





    Now to crack on with the engine subframe

    Little update, had to cut the back of the engine to make sure the angle gear doesn't foul on the block (see pic some posts further up)



    Not bad considering I only used an angle grinder (Pedro would be proud )

    Got some more done...

    Engine subframe cleaned off and painted


    bits added



    Swapped out the 19T on the V70 for its original 16T, only took 2 hours to swap the turbos over. I forgot how quick the 16T spools.

    Fitted 19T to the engine. For some reason FRF sent me 4 turbo oil return bottom seals and 4 upper gaskets (two the same and two different)


    Also fitted the VXR injectors.

    Apart from fitting the flywheel and new clutch (can't whilst it is on the engine stand), it's all ready to back together and in the car, which should happen sometime next week (hopefully). Then I'll move onto sorting out some issues created by leaving the car standing for so long (some interior bits need attention, I've got an S80 steering wheel to fit and I think I'll flush/check the fuel system).

    More to come...

    Has been some time since the last update, have had a crappy couple of months unfortunately.

    Anyway, I finally got an engine hoist and had our Overlord build it for me (thanks Santa).

    Fitted the new clutch, quite a difference to the old one, the friction plate is thicker plus about 5mm wider. Should last a bit longer


    Fitted the rest of the components to the subframe and put it on the dolly I made to move it around.


    Engine on


    Lifted the car up


    Engine is now in, just need to connect everything, fit the new radiator, put the driveshafts in and fill the gearbox with oil. Have got a wideband lambda sensor to fit too, getting the existing sensor out was a nightmare as it was really stuck in there (plus I forgot to remove it before I put the engine in ).

    Are you replacing your original Lambda sensor with a wide band sensor? this confuses me?

    wouldn't you need a narrow-band output for the ECU....

    this piece of kit can take a wideband input & turn it into a narrowband output http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=173

    A bit pricey though

    Yes, very pricey.....

    I bought a DIY wideband controller from the USA which does all the narrowband conversion/heater control and is a very cheap alternative:

    The Bosch LSU4.9 lambda sensor arrived this morning

    I got the DIY kit some months ago, it's built and just needs the wiring adding to it.

    Also had a problem with the starter motor. Managed to break the connector off the solenoid, must have been brittle. Upon opening the starter motor it seems all the grease has dried up so it is getting an overhaul.

    Fortunately I think I have a spare solenoid.

    very nice! Hmmm the thought of an AWD is appealing. Sadly my days of having a huge workshop are now over and all work is down in the road under a brolly
    My experience of engine paint (from my days of restoring/tuning REAL Minis - not the fake rubbish imitation things) is that it BAKES on after a few days!!
    One pic looks like you've fitted a mountain bike wheel to the crank pulley!!

    Looks like they've taken a lot off the bolt hole (compared to the other one on the right and on the new engine)
    so this is the 2.5 lpt engine?? youve not still got it kicking bout hve you??
