Thanks for the input. The last time I considered the a FWD Volvo, yours were most of posts I read for education.

I will say, the needless complexity of the few of the things make me glad I did not buy one. I can, with enough instruction, refresh about any motor and rebuild most. Some are better and some are worse but all are mechanical systems assembled by humans (or the machines they program). This is a really looking like an 8 out of 10 due to things like:

Cam cover as cam bearings
Weird fasteners
Angle torque not matching bolt diameter
Gaskets made from fluids (pet-peeve more than difficulty)

Other things I have not found will continue to frustrate me I am sure, but this is not what taught me to love Volvo. Not saying any of this is inherently bad because it is where the industry has gone..just annoying.

If it is any consolation, BMW Vanos motors are much more frustrating. Conversely, Saab motors of the same era (pre-ecotech) start to remind me of the old Volvo red block.

Steps off soapbox...
