this series makes me feel like I belong, like I'm part of the process
True tho
You do belong. Find your community brother… and if you can’t find one, make one.
This is what is missing from the car shows that have an hour long episode and then cram everything in, which feels rushed and the most interesting parts are left out! So this is why I visit youtube and watch channels like this one, way way better :)
Yessss you get it
Came here for the Volvo (there's not enough Volvo enthusiasts out there) stayed for the great video ( well shot, edited and narrated/explained).
Saabs too... I think I'm the only only in my country (Portugal) actively fixing and improving.
IMO the reason there’s so few remaining Volvo enthusiasts is a general feeling of abandonment… after the ford acquisition in ~99 it began to spiral😔
I'm one I own a beautiful white Volvo xc 70 it's a fast car ppla don't expect it when I go flying by lmao love mine I muffler deleted it and omg thang sounds like a baby v10
u need to learn multiple language actually to know the Volvo community
Especially for the p2
Wake up babe new willem verbeeck engine overhaul video dropped
🏃🛌
Do not install the cam cover with impact gun, use the "T" tools that you used for removing it. The threads are easy to strip and then you cry with new oil leaks:) Same goes for timing tensioner, aluminum is not grateful for impacting.
Great channel, keep it up!
Even the plastic trim covers get a 1/4" torque wrench on my white block, and all fasteners are tightened by hand. But that's because I'm going to daily my late dad's '02 V70 for the rest of my life, so avoiding thread damage to the aluminum castings is of particular concern.
I also clean any aluminum threads with a plastic bore brush every time a bolt is removed
I agree. As a guy who worked on Volvos and Saabs for more than a decade, I was feeling good about things until I saw the impact pulling down the cam cover without the tools in the spark plug threads. Those bolts need to be torqued down, because overtightening them can influence the tolerance of the cams. I’m a bit stressed out right now.
Came to comments to say this. Impact is okay ish for taking things off but really shouldn't be used for reassembly.
Yep a garage in the uk damage my aluminium sump on a BMW E46 I had 6 years ago. They cross threaded the sump plug (They paid for a new one)
When I was sick in bed, I discovered your channel and I would like to say that despite the current 35.200 subscribers, this really feels like a 300k or 500k channel. The quality of the video is very good, not too much fuss, calm music and someone who doesn't act like a know-it-all.
My sincere compliments!
Doing something wrong is of course incredibly sh*tty, but completely natural. As my uncle always says; those are study costs.
Keep it up man, as many of your viewers would say.
❤
He does have 400k subs on his main channel for a good reason:) Both a great photographer, content creator and mechanic👍🏼
@@theoeilertsen7516 What is his main channel if I may ask?
@@TerrybleGamerWillem Verbeeck, his main channel is centered around photography :)
@@aarontimm Thank you, never knew he had another channel!
Power tools are for taking OFF the hardware. Hand tools and torque wrench are for putting ON hardware.
23:00 use the old seals placed on top of the new to hammer them home if you haven't got any huge sockets to use. Less chance of damaging the new ones.
He done a great job , I’m sure he’s definitely took in account on what he’s doin more so than you or probably 95% of others here commenting.
@@DanDan_and_the_boys torque specs are key for volvos if you want reliability. The valve cover must be torqued to spec, same with vvt hubs, crank bolts and tensioners.
Yes
@@DanDan_and_the_boys Powertools are not for building engines. Period.
@@N911GT2 No offence, but if Gale Banks uses power tools, I'm using power tools too. Rhetoric be damned!
My man is grinding
There's something really inspiring about watching you build; no super cars, no massive crew and all the flash, expensive tools. Just learning as you go and showing us your mistakes. Much respect mate. Yourself & 'M359 Restorations are my favourite youtube channels 😄
Dude if you're a "beginner" I don't know what I am. Great work as always and much respect for your ambition and patience. Love this car and always happy to see a young person appreciating and saving these cars - they're well worth the effort.
As a swedish guy who works at a Volvo workshop, and own a P2 V70 myself, it's really entertaining watching you fearlessly tear apart these cars, and giving them all your love. I'm amazed how much you guys like these cars over there!
Keep up the awesome work, I love watching your videos, they're very well edited and I love following your progress with these cars 😊
Love from sweden ❤
dude, the quality you present on your channel is spotless, keep it up, ill be here to support it!!
You will have to redo your timing belt a third time for two reasons: 1. You forgot the rear cambelt cover and you need to pull the water pump and belt roller to get that on. 2. You "official seal installation tool" does not make certain than the VVT pulley seals are in the head the correct distance, like the 90 dollar factory tool does. If you put them in too far or too shallow, your VVT hubs will leak oil. You could take the gamble, but since you are going to pull it off anyway and the engine is out now, it is hardly any trouble to verify you are in the correct distance.
I agree 100%
Did it exactly like this on my s60r and never had a problem
A lot of those special tools are designed to make the job foolproof. Don’t be a fool and you’ll be mostly okay
I like how "at home" i feel with your content. No fancy garage setup or tools. Just good old creativity and thinking twice before doing. The warmest of greetings from Sweden and thank you for bringing this beautiful car back to life.
@17:39, just a tip. In the future, get one of those small sponge rollers and dab the sealant over the cover (and not the head). Then roll all over the flat surface of the cover so it creates a thin layer. You don't want to much either, I can't really tell but the amount you put on looks WAY to much. Hope it helps for the future :) Good work!
Yes he put on WAY too much, enough to risk clogging the oil pump.
@@ASDASD34RDFS No, it's anaerobic sealant which is not the same as RTV that has silicone in it. Anaerobic sealer hardens in absence of oxygen and the rest mixes with the oil and comes out in the next oil change.
@@jompemc So he applied basically red loctice. I am sure this will be fun to remove in the future.
He put it way too much and where there's gonna be oil passing so a disaster is coming soon. Hopefully a fully build forged engine
No, it looks like he applied the correct Volvo sealant, which has nowhere near the locking power of loctite, and remains a tiny bit flexible. Also the actual amount he applied might be a little much, but it doesn't matter, the excess gets churned into the oil: it's not RTV. @@ASDASD34RDFS
Great job for someone who's giving it a try ,
, as a volvo tech with 23 years of experience,
When applying the sealant to the head , thin bead applied and NEVER , Never spread out !
The sealer will do its tracking fill via physics ! This will leak if spread out like finger painting, not now but in future ,
I resealed sooooooo many repairs if other garages ,
and trust me, the head or cam cover will definitely change on a micron level it's shape whilst it's bolted down , when thermal dynamics gets added !!!!
V70R 6 speed is my daily, absolutely NO ONE is doing videos like yours, this is the exact stuff I’m looking for to learn more about my car before diving in, keep it up.
Again, fair play to you buddy. Stumbled upon you a while back. Don't possess nor desire a Volvo. What you've done so far is extremely admirable. This isn't give a go DIY. It's balls deep. People wonder why.. it's the smile you get heading down the road in your mode of transportation you made possible. Respect 💪
Full girth depth
@@reallyhappenings5597 balls and all mate 🤬 ..
These videos just are just so good i just find myself binge watching you working on this engine and losing track of time, keep it up!
I feel like a kid again. Waiting for your next video and super exciting when it is online ! Thanks and keep it up !
I am enjoying this build more than anything else I am watching. Keep them coming.
Amazing teardown ! Your skills and knowledge is really impressive. This is my favorite channel on CZcams now !
Your videos are always a treat. Ever excited for the future of you channel.
Stumbled across your channel randomly and can solidly say I'm all the happier for it!
The editing, voicing and detail are absolutely perfect.
Keep up the great work 💯👌🙌
This channel is on point 👌 amazing choice of project car, down to earth guy and we're all learning stuff along with you. Keep doing you bro 🙌🔥
This channel is amazing!! Best car content on CZcams right now
A sick wagon and some good old fashioned work ethic, I’m hooked. Keep going bro 💯🫡
By far the best episode yet. Can’t wait for the first drive.
Cannot fricken wait for the next video. This channel is absolute gold
Such a fantastic channel. I can't be happier that you're doing this to one of my favorite Volvos of ALL time.
Well done sir! Great editing and most certainly mechanic skills
Dude I love your videos so so much. Such a cozy vibe, I wish they could go on forever! Your choice of soundtrack is also chef's kiss
Always a good day when I get a notification from this channel. Love your videos man, love the relaxed/chill vibe
Just here to like and comment, saving the video for Saturday morning when I have time to sit down with a cup of coffee and cast this on the TV. Can't wait!! 🎉🔥🔥🔥
Good Stuff! Not only are you learning yourself, your documenting it which Helps other P2 enthusiasts. I know I'll revisit this video one day to do my timing and seals. You deserve every bit of success with this channel, respect.
Oh wow bro.What fantastic one 👍🏻. Balls of steel to do what you are doing. Great work again looking amazing
We are proud to be a part of this awesome build! Keep up the great work!

He has returned and it was good.
im from sweden and i can really say that this is the most in depth videos on replacing parts and it is a really fun series to watch
You’re doing an awesome job. I wait every week for your next video
In love with this channel man! The vibe is so chill and laidback, music is perf and the editing is great too. Feels like hanging out with a mate while he builds a beautiful swedish beast. Got me craving my own R big time. Keep it up 🫡
Cant wait for the next video, per usual. I wish there were 2 of you to get even more stuff done each week!
Finally something good to see on yt. GJ man!
The crankshaft locking tool locks against the number 5 rod which means it only locks one way. If you spin the engine the other way the rod is free to move.
The cam gears have little marks on them and it doesn’t exactly matter how they go back on but i also does. If you put the plastic cover back on, the little marks should line up with the marks on the cover which would ensure you aren’t for example half a tooth off on the belt which would leave the belt less tensioned on the drive side.
Also definitely use the same tools to install the cam cover that you used to take it off. The cam seals should sit out a little further, almost flush with the head and valve cover.
The timing belt tensioner should be set depending on how warm or cold it is outside. Room temp is in the middle. I would also definitely lube up all the o-rings before installing them. Glad to see someone making quality videos on these cars!
Thank you for such a long video and that for free. I love your videos. So relaxing. Greetings from Germany.
Even at 40 minutes these videos seem to short. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon your channel.
Can’t wait to see this engine back in place, nice job man.
I love this series because it reminds me of when I used to work on my S60 T5.
Underrated channel for sure! I can't believe this has only 36.000 subscribers. Keep up the good work!
Good job man! And hey, stuff happens, that's mechanic life for ya. Good on you for being honest about it. Love the series, keep them vids coming. 👍
Great video as usual! Keep up the good work!
This channel is so good cause it's jsut the honest truth of what happens when you wrench on your car. Keep up the great work and you'll love the Xclutch clutch, installed one on my C30 about 3000 miles ago and it's great
Bro your so good at it and the cameras angle such a perfect sides keep moving on your career ❤
Watching from Brazil and loving the chanel. Keep the faith and the amazing job.
I admire your dedication, organization, and attention to detail. This volvo motor is sneaky stout. 👍
Bro, ricently i got my first Volvo and everything you do in your videos is helping me with this car. I faced with a problem of oil liking too and decided to complitley reacemble the engene. I watched all of you videos, bc they are better than any other content in this niche. 👍👍👍
This channel has so much potential, the editing and video quality is just superb.
Your calmness and sense of explanation is rare these days. Especially in the car community CZcams.
I have owned 1 V70R Gen1 and 2 Gen2, still have my Flash Green V70R -04 with the orange interior, had it since -09!
Stay original, greetings from Sweden 🤜💥🤛
thank you for including us in your experience! I too own a 5cyl volvo, but cant bring myself to mod it so this is a great replacement!
Favorite CZcamsr, no joke. And helping me work on my v70r. The goat!
I think you're going to have to redo the timing again, unfortunately - you didn't put the inner timing cover on before the pullies and belt. Pretty sure I did the exact same thing when I refreshed the engine on my S60 a couple years back. I also remember that crank "locking" tool being a joke lol, it's not your fault it moved.
Anyway, I've been really enjoying the videos, I've been wanting to manual swap my S60 since before it ran lmao. It's nice to see someone else around my age interested in these cars. Keep up the good work 👍
Open belt it is. The cover cracked completely.
@wheelemverb love your channel. My '02 V70 2.4T is currently at the dealer for cam seal, timing belt, water pump, etc replacement. $3,100 job after much negotiation. 😮😮😮
Keep up the good work and keeping fingers crossed none of the valves got damaged.
I ♥ this video series. Well done!
It's always a life's highlight when WheelemVerb uploads another video
Absolutely brilliant editing and the tenacity you have to do this much work learning about this Volvo is surreal almost!!! Great job bro!! HOWEVER, these t5s are known for having head gasket and cylinder issues due to the ,035 gaps between cylinders.(This is usually caused by pre-detonation, a better intercooler shim the block and tune will take care of this) I'm surprised you didn't take the head off and place in .o35 feeler gauge to shim the block???.. But hey man, kudos to you for working your ass off and educating so many people. Cheers!
Fantastic content, really enjoy your videos dude.
I absolutely love this series. I got my Volvo in June and have been doing everything I can to keep her going strong (I'm also a car noob). just over the weekend I did the timing job and damn it looks so much easier with the engine out of the car 😂. even with skinny arms I had barely just enough room. It has been cool to see other people want to restore their Volvo! 🔥🔥
Thanks for sharing the highs and lows with us. Your honesty and genuine nature are what really draw me in to this channel. You are among some of the best creators for automotive content going right now. Keep it up!
Agreed
Great content, this is the kind of videos i'm looking for.
M539 and now you. Keep going bro.
Loving this series, I don’t own a Volvo but I own a mk2 focus ST/xr5 which has the Volvo derived 5 pot engine either way I love Volvos still and these videos are great, keep up the good work! Love from the UK 🇬🇧
The fact that this guy only has 35k subs is mindblowing, this is really high quality videos. Keep up the good work 👌
I'm not a Volvo guy but I love watching these videos. They're so well made and relaxing
I really like watching you working on this old Volvo! I mean everyone is working on their bmw or audi, and you are doing Volvo, keep going!
Even though i am not i volvo person, i am a car enthusiast.
This won my subscription.
Keep it up and hope to see more soon
Alrighty....fits....like a glove. Been here since day 1.....keep it going...This is going to be an awesome end result.
Amazing series, thank you for the Volvo Content :-) Greetings from Germany
i find it incredible that bro finds motivation to follow through with these projects, that's something i could never do. huge respect to you bro, keep it up!
Agreed
I'm about to pull the engine out to re-gasket it and had already searched about the VVT hub o-rings and assumed I had no choice but to buy new hubs.... Thank you for the FCP gasket kit info. That was pretty cool :)
I just picked up a 02 s60 t5 with the 2.3t for 1500 and It needs a little tlc but It does put a smile on my face lol I’m very glad I found your channel, great content bro 🫡
very nice, cant wait to see the manual box in action
Wow. It was interesting. Waiting for a continue . Thanks dude
Big love from Sweden! just amazing content! keep it up!
Just noticed I wasn't subscribed after following the whole series, feels fresh to have a channel not begging for likes or subs. I kinda feel bad now for not doing it earlier, not pushing anything, honest videos with good editing. Keep it up !
I think i would have never watched a car mechanic yt chanal if it wasnt for you willem. I drive a 1998 V70 AWD and i also had alot of problems with the motor and oil leaking. Watching your videos gives me a better understanding of what it takes to work on these things. Love the process, even if i dont understand all of it at times :) Keep it up mane
Such high quality content. Worth a million subs
Dude you work incredibly fast! Good job!
Such a well shot, and edited series.
Incluing the mistakes is HUGE. shows your normal and it's not edited out. Cool little tidbits abuot the OEM parts too.
Bloody love this series.
Agreed
Really enjoy watching your videos! I like how you combine talkinging and fixing. And also show your mistakes. Keep it up!
As mentioned earlier. Use a torque wrench instead of impact gun. I have made mistakes with over tightening and it’s both time consuming and costly if it goes wrong. And it also minimize the risk of other people using the impact gun after watching your videos.
Kind regards from Sweden
I have been waiting all week , finally 😅😅
Nice work! You're going to love how much this swap changes the car. I've never used a crankshaft locking tool and it's probably not needed. I would not have adjusted the cams on the hubs. They should go back to their original orientation if possible. Look for the 3 bolts and the marks they left on the cam.
ive been watching this man since he had like 3k subs , i knew u could go big ,
this channel is dope dude, please keep it up, I'm amazed at your work as a "beginner" 😂
If I'm not mistaken you're supposed to use a foam paint roller to evenly distribute that anaerobic sealant.
And then there's minimal squeeze out and perfect coverage
Finally! I’ve been waiting for so long ❤
Love your videos! You are amazing at what you do. Keep the videos coming. God bless
Ive got a 2005 S60R in the same silver with a manual transmission. Currently at 105k miles. Love the work on the V70R keep it up!
Excellent videos, man. Enjoy it every time, thx
Long form videos are goated!!!
Did you forget the brown outer oil pump seal you removed? (The one just behind the pulley at 28:17).
And be sure to check/clean the pcv system + lines and coolant hoses at the back when the engine is still out! Saves a lot of problems.
Awesome content!
Great video - also with regards to swapping out parts, often it is worth sticking with something that is proven rather than swapping it out as you could introduce failure with a new part just through bad luck.
Was looking at purchasing a V70 as a replacement for car no. 2 - stumbled upon this channel thinking it was 1 mio. subscribers and +500 uploads. Lo' and behold the upcomer making insanely great content! 🥳
Hats off to how you kept your cool when you realized that the timing was off - I would have sat in a corner crying 😂
And just a thought: you do know that impact sockets exist, right? Just sitting here waiting for one to blow 😅 but as others have commented you should probably hold off on using the impact for tightening.. screw down until surface contact, then fetch the torquewrenches.
Keep it up!
Back in the '70's, my Fiat 124 Sport Coupe needed valve seals, so I decided to do a valve job. It's an interference engine, and I got the timing belt a few teeth off (it jumped when I released the tensioner, and I didn't notice). Got it all back together, didn't try a gentle crank, bent the valves. Tore it apart again, did it right and took it for a test drive: clouds of oil smoke and got a warning from the state patrol. Third time's the charm, replaced the rings and it ran fine. Note that this engine used shims to adjust the valves, so extra fun. A great learning experience.
I'm really enjoying following your project.
It's great to see someone with a 'can do' attitude 👍🏻
I own a 07 V70R and am learning a lot from your work. I was quite surprised that when you had engine out you didn't shim the block. You'll be running more hp with that turbo and the other upgrades you've done so shimming the block would definitely help to protect the longevity of the engine.
Just a thought... Oh and get it mapped and it'll fly... Trust me 😉...
