Re: various flathood turbo problems 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be rhaire on  Tue Dec 12 00:39 CST 2000 [RELATED]

There have been rumors that some of the "flathoods" did have performance head work and you may have one. The cam is marked on the rear bearing and can be read with a dental mirror. It can be a hard stamping to see but when you see it it is obvious. There are plenty of hot Volvo cams and you may have one of those. Refer to T-bricks for cam data.

The valve clearances must be reset with a cam change but I am not aware of any change in clearance that you must set. And yes, the timing belt tooth error is a better than 50/50 chance. It gets everyone.

Idle? Injector leak, some cams, what else?
