thanks for responding!!
what happened was when i took off the old belt, as it came off the pulley sprang back which rather took me by surprise...i turned the pulley and noticed that there was a 2-3 tooth movement before i felt it come up against the camshaft - a little more and then the camshaft turned over and i had to rotate the pulley back till the camshaft turned over the other way.
When it came time to put the new belt on, i had to take the pulley up to the point where the camshaft was about to turn, hold it in this position, put the belt on and then move to the exhaust pulley and sort of do the same again. then when i rotated the crankshaft i saw the notches were out by a couple of teeth.
i'm beginning to like your method better!!
so why doesn't vida indicate that one should lock the camshafts???
are volvo mechanics so good at this that they dont need to lock them?
