Hello all!
Yesterday I lifted the engine out of my old volvo 945 turbodiesel it was quite easy.
I fit it to the engine stand and gave it a good cleanup, man it was dirty...
I also took the oilpan off to investigate why the engine stopped running after a few seconds of very terrible noise (sound of a siezed bearing).
But to my surprise all crankbearings and all bigend bearings look normal.
I have not got the head off yet since I left the xzn tool at my dadīs place a few years ago (maybe 10) but he was gonna have a look in his workshop for it today so maybe next weekend I can inspect the head and the pistons.
The plans are anyway as follows:
Refurbish the crank with new bearings, off course the bigend bearings aswell.
If needed, a rebore of the cylinders to oversize otherwise just honing the cylinders and new rings.
If needed, new valves and guides, definetily new valve seals.
Refurbish the fuelpump and maybe a little tweaking...
Refurbish the injectors.
Send the turbo away for refurbishing.
A new oilpump is already on order... 350 euro :cry: :cry:
Any other good ideas except for the obvious like seals,hoses etc...??
