ContiTech Timing Belt Kit

The Continental belt is OEM. The tensioner is now made by INA, which is now the OEM brand.

Using the rope trick, or, much more so, an impact wrench on the crank pulley bolt can result in this with the crank timing belt gear:



Removing either camshaft timing belt gear with out a counter hold can damage the cold rolled steel alignment pins at the end of the cam pulley. Less so with the intermediate cam.

Wasser Pumpen

Debates on what brand water pump you may want.

As our Uncle Art published on his wholly invaluable web site www.cleanflametrap.com

http://cleanflametrap.com/wasserpumpen.html

There exist a few other water pump brands with favorable reviews. So far, I've not had problems with the HEPU pumps on two Volvo 240. A third shall receive a new water pump, as well as, like you, a new heater control valve, as, like you, your 1992 comes equipped with a heater control valve made of plastic, versus the steel housing heater control valve that came before in all Volvo autos.

You can use the silicate-rich green Prestone or Volvo OEM blue antifreeze. Use demineralized, deionized, or distilled water to mix anti-freeze at a 50/50 concentration

Try http://www.wagonmeister.com/ for a replacement, direct fit, heater control valve. The Volvo OEM heater control valve will fail you. The, like me, the original factory heater control valve remains in my 1992 for replacement, as yet ...

Front Engine Seals

So, you have a counter hold tool, or will use the 'rope trick' to remove the harmonic balancer crank shaft pulley? Some will use an impact wrench. Just be careful.

You know how to remove the old seals without nicking or scratching the seal bore?

You have the two seal presses to press in the new seals into the seal bore?



Unless after market OEM can be found get the seals from Volvo.

Clean the PVC?

Treated in the FAQ page link, another glance is http://www.volvoadventures.com/howtodoflametrap.html

May only have 100k miles on it, yet you are dealing with age at 24+ years out from rolling off the assembly line. If a garage queen, may be okay.


Mu 240s are not garage queens. They rot in the slimy, nasty, smelly Midwestern USA city with the Arches and the Cardinals and the Blues.

Cheers,

MacDuff.

I line up the timing marks and use a mirror to make sure the intermediate shaft mark is correct as it is real easy to get it a tooth off. Once I think I have it correct I try starting it to make sure it runs and responds to throttle like it should before finishing the remainder of the job.
