head gasket replacement instructions V70-XC70 2006

Hello Martin,

My main concern about the job is the setting of the camshafts. Klaus sent me some disturbing videos about the difficulties with this variable valve timing arrangement.

I have been going through a set of instructions from the Volvo Owners Club website by a chap with the handle DSM [think that is right] and he did the job without using a cam holder. He made paint marks instead.

I don't know what a cam cover tool is.

I have been suitably impressed by everybody's warnings about how long the job takes and to keep everything labelled and set in order. I would like to take the job on myself and would like to keep this rather impressive piece of Swedish technology on the road. . . for at least the length of time left to internal combustion vehicles left to us all!

Bob
