Seeing u were struggling with last degree torque method... I think u can do it easier by tilting the engine 90degree downwards... Then u can push the breaker bar downward making life easier without the engine stand moving around... Anyway..thanks for sharing the t5 engine rebuild proccess 👍👍

I bought one from FCP for my 05’ C55. I inserted the uncut stick all the way down into the sump. Pulled it out and there was definitely oil on the tip. The electronic reader showed 7.9 liters. With .5 to 1 liter in the filter that left me with between 8.4 to 8.9 liters in the engine. With the full-length dipstick fully inserted, I marked it at the top of the dipstick tube. From the mark up to the plastic flange it measured 6.25”. Thus, I cut off 6.25” from the tip. I rounded off the freshly cut end to form a smooth, round tip (no sharp edges). Then inserted it back down the tube. Problem, now the freshly cut dipstick will not go all the way down into the sump like it did with the original plastic tip on the end. It must be getting stuck on something. There’s no way to reinstall that plastic tip of the original dipstick onto the new freshly cut dipstick. This means that this great oil measuring hack Anderzen came up with may not work for everyone. Any ideas to get the newly cut dipstick all the way down to the bottom of the sump?
Hey bud I'm trying to start my parts pile and I'm wanting to go forged internals in my 99 2.4 glt wagon. What pistons and rods do you recommend and how do I know what pistons my engine needs to run. I'm seriously not trying to spend money on something that won't work. Im struggling finding anyone who can help me build it in Houston Texas. Any recommendations and info is greatly appreciated. Im shooting for a mild 400+ build on it. Not trying to go balls out like you.
Fantastic job on your motor looking good! Hey, I am an old guy and my wife has a daily driver 1997 Volvo 850 GLT in super condition. We bought it two years ago ( I think we are 2nd owners). It had like 65,000 original miles on it when we bought it. Now has only 87,000 miles and engine runs like new, I have done a lot of general upkeep on it. Any idea where best to list it for sale? I bought it for 3,950.00 in early 2016 asking like $3,450.00 now. My daily driver is a stock 1998 Volvo S 70 T5 (manual 5 speed) with 111,000 original miles on that one. I am keeping that one! : ) Bob
seeing this comment after car prices have all risen and i bought my 1996 Volvo 850 Premium for $5k w 110k miles. i wish i could go back in time and buy 10!
@@dolonia8216 I happen to be wanting to sell my super rare Silver Volvo S 70 T5 M. I have had it eight years since I bought it with only 101,000 miles on it, now only has 160,000.
Hello! Thanks for your interest. I am currently still working on them. I just finished a 2nd revision board that I need to test. Hopefully this june or july I can start selling them! I will put details in one of my upcoming videos.
Alejandro Martinez Autotech Motors USA probably has the exact same one in 321 stainless steel. I ordered it through ATM USA, and had to return it because the turbo I'm running is too large, and the number 5 exhaust runner won't clear the compressor housing. It was made by Sweden Exhaust, who also supplies LG speed with steel manifolds, it has a T3 flange and a 44mm TiAL wastegate flange.
Alejandro Martinez you can search Facebook for Autotech Motors USA, and send Henry a message, he should reply pretty fast, and ask him if he still has the SS manifold, (it's brand new, never used, but if you want a different one I'm sure he can order one from Sweden).
I use a hammer and a screw driver to tap the cam gear to rotate it very small increments. Massive springs made it very hard otherwise (i.e using a screw driver wedged between the bolts).

Why would you cut the dip stick
repurposing the original oil return for ventilation is genius, doing this asap.
Thank you.
hi can you help me. all my cam valve buckets got mix up and not sure how to shim them if the cover holds the cam down so i cant check gape? thanks
@15:07 you say everything is torqued to 14 ft pounds but specs say 14 nm which converts to 10.33 ft ends... which was it?

what is the ground attachment on your angle torque tool for?
@SimplyVolvo Part # for the angle torque gauge you got on Amazon ? @6:44
Any new videos??
nice, you should have used arp studs.
For the price difference head bolts make sense. $30 for head bolts vs $300 for head studs

Hi there I am very interested in purchancing your megasquirt plug and play ecu. What is the best way to contact you and are you still selling them?

SimplyVolvo. That's great! As soon as they are ready please let us know as I would love to buy 2 actually asap. for my N.A. 850 and my T5 850 AWD!
Love the vids! I have a Base 850 wagon and I'm looking into modding and all that. Do you think you could be my mentor and help me learn and stuff?
Hard tork??? How nm? 100 nm 120 nm
awesome video bro, where did you get that custom exhaust manifold? been looking around and can't find any.
Its an LGSpeed manifold. Check out lgspeed.se or try googling them, their website may have changed.

I thought 850 are not timed dead center?
On stock cams they aren't these aren't stock cams. These specific after market you time at true TDC.
