- Welcome back! This time around, it's time for the rocker assembly, the intake and the carbs - and I get the engine running! Also included: a proper test drive, and I explain just why the king of Sweden is a spoiled brat!
Let's go! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Tack för en kanonserie, väl detaljerat, filmat och berättat. Och med världens härligaste bil!
Tack Håkan!!! Visst är det vackra, P1800! Snacka om lyckad design....
Thanks for another great educational video Billy!
Thanks a lot!!
the 1800 series is a masterpiece of practical design, engineering and production all in a very practical and affordable car.
Affordable??...
I would have to agree Jacques! A truly beautiful design, and compared to similar European sports cars of the same age - it is affordable. And durable!
You also get much more flow in the channels by using a scratched surface (about 60-80grit or less) because there is created turbulense in every scratch which is working as an "lubricant" for the fuel air mixture..
Also when using "too large" valves, you get to close to the cylinder wall. That hinders flow ALOT!! Topplocksverkstan has some fun literature about this on their site, they also keep the steel rings in the heads and b18-b20 etc (b18 is a much better cylhead to work with when tuning, because of the positioning of the intake valve!)
Yup, exactly! I remember reading up on their website, quite a few years ago. And if you think about it, the gap on the outside of the valve is a real factor. Personally, I think this, plus the valve seats, are where you can really make a difference when you are looking for added power.
@@ClassicCarRacingRestoration yes! I just build an b20 and a b230 with their heads. D cam and k cam in. Running double SUs, 2 1/2" exhaust, they run GREAT!!! Full power from idle to 6000 rpms 😎💥
el legendario volvo 1800,el coche de más de un millón de millas ❤🎉
Great stories about P1800
Bra jobbat det blev helt klart snyggt mvh Ronny Granlund
Tackar Ronny!!

@@ClassicCarRacingRestoration 🥰
Good work its done, abd the test iits done....i have polisih up a care like that fore many years ago..fore sale...i feel me prowd of this job...💪🤗😃
Thank you! Loved this series. I didn't see the final video you mentioned of his drive back. Is that available?
I miss my 1968 P1800S. I had it for three years, maybe four, but sold it when I left the U.S. for two years, not wanting to burden my parents with storing it for me. I do sometimes regret that decision.
Alex
Thanks Alex! The final episode got delayed due to winter - and covid! But I should be able to upload it pretty soon!
Tack ! njutbar film som vanligt, jädrans vad den låter gott spinner som en kattunge och har troligen lite lagom klös också.
Tack Jörgen! Den går verkligen fint, och framförallt vridet är fenomenalt bra för att vara en 0.15-borrad B20!
que maravilla de motor si volvo hubiera continuado con esta clase de motor modernizado con inyectores y bombas eléctricas en el tanque volvo fuera el A de los coches del mercado y el mundo moderno ❤
Great vid! Not that I ever think I'm going to get my hands this dirty, but it's nice to see someone knowledgable take things apart and explain what's going on!
A question? I own a 1971 1800E myself - had it completely restored, nuts and bolts. Wonderful machine! However, the idle speed is very high, around 1600 rpm, and the mileage is pretty poor, only about 6 km/l. The seller has taken it back to fix it, claiming it's a faulty cold start system. He's replacing it with a 1972 system which he claims is much more reliable and less prone to failure. What's your best guess? Is he right? Or is the problem more likely to be found elsewhere...?
It's really har do say with those old Bosch systems! Sounds like it could be a combination of problems: maybe sucking air at a leak, and possibly faulty injectors - has the car been sitting long periods of time?
@@ClassicCarRacingRestoration No, it was only finished this summer, mid july, and I've clocked 1100 miles since then. It's now at the workshop/seller for a change of cold start system and winter storage, so won't see it again until April. Hopefully they'll sort it out by then, but I thought I'd ask around anyway...
Kul video 😀 Ser att du vilar handen på växelspaken. På skolan fick vi lära oss att det inte var bra för synkringarna. Säkert mer på dom med den långa, nästan liggande växelspaken.
Ha ha ha!! Just fasen, det där har jag fått höra nån gång i forntiden med...
Get it to 10 oil pump shafts. Did you paint the engine after you had assembled it . Looking good . Thought at first you you where leaving it unpainted.
Ha ha... math has never been my strong side!
thanks ! thats a nice vid! please can we see some of the rally car! thankyou
Thanks! If you look to the other vids on my channel, there are a couple with the 142 in action!
will do, i rally meself, i have a bmw e36 compact with a b230 engine in it. It has a is200 6 speed gearbox on it! thanks for your content!
The air cleaner covers should be blue, i.e. you are correct, sir.
Thanks! Yup, found that out too!
Do you know the oil pressure at idle with hot engine? And what oil? My engine only has 0.5-1 bar at idle, but 4-5 bar at cruising, i fear maybe the ball and spring has gotten stuck.
Grett!
I love your videos ! Just bought a Volvo 142 myself with a b20 with twin weber’s🥰 it makes 145.4hk@5995/197.9Nm@4696rpm☺️ motor hp ! K- cam supposedly ported and shaved head☺️ just wondering .. is there a more modern camshaft that would out perform The stock K-cam from Volvo !
Best regards Stian
Maybe The cam used in this engine.. Since i dont have info regarding valve size.. i’ll just go with The fact that its stock☺️
hej igen, jeg kommer ikke igennem til din postkasse - faulty?
Den ska fungera! billysoderin@gmail.com
Those solid lifters always "clacked" a lot. Have you ever tried hydraulic lifters?
Yup, that sorta comes natural here - especially when using a cam with radical lift/lobe profiles. I have tried using hydraulic lifters, and sure, it's a bit less noisy, but they are heavier. As long as I use iquality parts/race oil, solid lifters works fine for me
Öppna upp vipparmsaxeln och göra rent även den invändigt, gör du aldrig det? Jag har inte gjort det (än), men har stött på såna som menar att det är viktigt. Vad säger du?
Jodå! Men jag har lyxen att kunna välja ämnen som inte är så förbaskat grisiga med koksad olja. Med fina stommar brukar jag nöja mig med att dra i brake cleaner och blåsa tills klar vätska kommer ut - det verkar räcka!
Cane it, dude.
Eventually....
Hur kan din engelska vara såå bra? Tydlig med knappt någon brytning?! Som vanligt ett kanonbra avsnitt!
He he he... jag har hängt en hel del med likasinnande motordårar i USA och Kanada! Det har hjälpt en hel del! Tackar hjärtligast!
Vilket medel rengör du med, var inköps detta?
Hej! Jag använder för det mesta brake cleaner. Då den ju dunstar brukar jag tömma en burk i en glasburk - då dunstar den minimalt! Sen har jag en smådelstvätt där jag använder ett amerikanskt medel jag tyvärr glömt namnet på. Motorblock, toppar och liknande - du skickar jag till en bekants verkstad där de får bada i StrippAll.
Would Your King not have gotten the last version of a proper, social-democratic thus modest four cylinder P1800 for free, he might have wanted a real sportscar like an inline six cylinder BMW Coupe, a V6 Citroën SM or even a V8 Montreal, was it not for a V12 Jag XKE .... To prevent that and to ensure the Swedish king is seen with Swedish product, a free P1800 directly from Volvo every other year was justified I reckon. Today in "Geely" times, that proud automobile nationalism is obsolet, of course, as we all get basically the same boring, accountant-, austerity-. and marketing-driven, "badge-engineered" chinesium-crap only. Thanks for sharing!
You make a very strong case, and a very solid point here! Looking at it from this perspective, I suddenly feel glad he got those cars for free. If Volvo was Swedish again, I'd like to se him rip around in a new version of the P1800. That'd be kinda cool!
@@ClassicCarRacingRestoration I worked as a chauffeur for Bavarian politicians during two campaigns in 2008/2009. They were leading figures, but opposition. To avoid them being "delivered" under the eyes of broadcasting cameras with a Kia or something even more ridiculous, they all got either a BMW or an Audi to ensure Bavarian cars being pictured in television only. When I had to bring in one of the cars for a technical issue, I asked one of the leading marketers of that program whether they knew about the marketing results of this procedure and the answer was: "we would not do that for opposition politicians standing not the slightest chance to conquer power here, was it not absolutely justified by the marketing research results we acquire to warrant our budget decisions".
So, I'm pretty sure they knew exactly what they did back then, and also with the "humble domestic 4 cyl. Volvo" in a very social-democratic Sweden prospering under Keynesian taxation and luxury-averting welfare back then.
Edit: The P1800 was, by the way, a bloody cool, very sporty car, comparable with Fiat Coupés, Alfa, Lancia and the smaller Zagatos and Abarths. Not a competition for the SM, but absolutely for an 6 cyl XKE even, while waay more economic because of the legendary Swedish build quality. I liked the futuristic "golf-club-transporter" ES even more. Was an early adopter for the first BMW 2002 Touring, too, though.
Kör du barfota? 😅
Japp, för maximal känsla. Vill känna vibrationerna!
Ja den är makalöst vacker. En dag så...
Oljan kommer ut genom hålet på toppen av vippan. Oljan kommer in via hålen i axeln! Så försänkningen av hålen på vippoan gör ingen skillnad på smörjningen.
Exakt, ut via hålet. Ah, jag tänker att alla små saker man kan göra för att förbättra flödet är värda att ta i beaktande. Eftersom vissa vippor har större hål, plus försänkning, kan jag lika gärna modifiera alla till detta. Har en bekant som till och med portar/flödestestar oljepumparna före montering, och jag tänker även det är vettigt.
hej, du forstår dit håndværk!!! jeg har måske et lignende projekt a la din hollandske kunde: p1800e / b20b / m41 + od, årg. 1971, 200.000 miles. har du en e-mail, hvor jeg kan kontakte dig direkte?
Absolut, du når mig på billysoderin@gmail.com
