To be fair, it's not that bad and suggests at least some in-depth maintenance has been performed rather than just the basic oil/filter changes. Like Mark said, it's pretty clean!

So I was going to start with the PCV but after removing it and realising just how filthy the engine was I couldn't leave it so I started by cleaning the engine up a bit.

I then dealt with the PCV


20210914_140428 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

I soaked the inside with degreaser and a whole load of black oily filth came out, I did this until it was running out clear then fitted the new O-ring.


20210914_141219 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

I then removed the throttle body to find the inlet manifold was very filthy internally and the throttle body itself.

20210914_142102 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE


20210914_142055 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

I then took to the inlet manifold off, cleaned it out and cleaned up the scruffy looking and oily cylinder head and the parts of the block I couldn't reach with the manifold on. I cleaned the mating faces up ready for the new gaskets but I forgot to photograph that.

20210915_180811 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

I then cleaned out the idle control valve but didn't take any photos as there isn't much to see.

I then took the thermostat housing off, the thermostat is stuck inside the housing (as per usual) but the thermostat is dated December 1991 so I belive it is the original 30 year old one.

Amazing work as always. I've had dirtier dinner plates than that cleaned up intake manifold.

Look out soon for Luke's expert diagnosis of a known issue with one of the ancillaries that came with the engine

I removed the very filthy rocker cover to change the rocker cover gasket and spent ages giving the rocker cover a thorough clean and removing the oxidation from the Volvo lettering. I fitted a new gasket obviously but forgot to get a photo of it.


20210916_124238 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

I forgot to get a before picture of the top but you can make out in some previous photos how filthy it was.


20210916_124251 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

I then took the distributor off


20210916_124646 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE


20210916_124655 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

The rotor arm has been sanded quite a bit!


20210916_124920 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

Oil seal and fibre washers are way past their best so I'll have to get an oil seal for it, I've got the fibre washers in stock.


20210916_124924 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

Clean rocker cover back on, it isn't as clean as I'd like but I used nearly a whole can of carb cleaner on it as it was rather stubborn so needed something stronger than degreaser.


20210916_134440 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

I took the belts off to replace those and the front oil seals and crank cover gasket.


20210916_141629 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

Cleaned up and new cam seal in


20210916_143639 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE

I then came across a problem I've never had on a redblock before... the cambelt sprocket on the end of the crankshaft is stuck solid, I've sorted out a small hub puller for it but I've soaked it periodically in WD40 for the last couple of days. I'll have to have a go at getting it off on Monday.

Looking great Luke, really appreciate the massive attention to detail you're applying to my car. Could eat my dinner off some of those parts.

I mean - just look at it!

You wouldn't want to eat your dinner off it!

You'd have to clean it again!

Nice offer on the dead bits from your old engine too! (in the other thread about the timing belt that failed)
