thanks james.

hopefully when i torque it down with the new shims the clearances should be right.

Well after much hand-sitting, I've taken the tappet cover off and measured all the valve clearances, after a compression check shower 105, 130, 80 and 105 respectively.

Found all the tappet clearances out, so I went down to the local Volvo spares place and got some more shims (after measuring them ...

Heads been on for about a month.. just haven't had the time/motivation to finish it.... I got to find out why its not starting now.... I got one of the other techs from work and he gave us a hand getting everything set up properly. Now I gotta check the spark plugs as we know our timings right, we ...

well I put the head on last night as i finally got the motivation to do it. Just had to get the Hylomar and a nice size torque wrench from work, so the heads on and all torqued up. Was putting on some of the sensors underneath the inlet manifold but it got too dark.... Damn winter, goes dark at 6 ...

Thanks, I actually opened the VRS kit and it had all the tensions in there anyway, but thanks for the reply

Does anyone know the head bolt tensions for the B200e?

Its the start of a long weekend and my mums getting antsy about getting the 360 back on the road.

Thanks all.

Well, the heads been off.... I took it down to the engine reconditioners down the road from work... No valves were bent.... which I was very surprised about....

Now I gotta get the motivation to put it all back together again.... I need to get a head gasket, tappet cover gasket and a few other ...

Well I've got most of the head pulled down.... just forgot to grab the cam gear removal tool from work so its a bit of a pain to pull off.... other than that it should be ready to pull off.

I figure if it doesn't cost too much I'll get the ports polished while its down at the machine shop. They're ...

Yeh I'm pretty sure all the marks were proper.... I couldn't quite figure the bottom mark but I think its correct as it lined up with the marks on the belt.... Oh well looks like i'll get the head shaved and ported while i'm at it...

Thanks for the offer peter but unless you want to ship to ...

Damn.... I was hoping it was like the 850 engines where it is freespinning.....
Thanks for your help mate..... now I might see what other engines can fit into the 360... I smell either a B23ET or a CA18 conversion in the pipeline...

Hey all, I've just replaced the timing belt on my mum's 360GLT and wanted to know if these engines are free-spinning.

Reason is the car broken down on the road (from the belt snapping), I've replaced the belt and lined all the timing marks up and all and the thing still wont run. The only thing I ...
