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
