I fixed my MAJOR engine issue! Volvo 240 Wagon

It's that time again! My daily driver needed MAJOR repairs so I spent 2 days tearing it down and fixing the head gasket, motor mounts, harmonic balancer, timing belt, tensioners and everything else under the sun that needed repairs!

I really want to believe that there is an alternate universe where your neighbor has a lawn care channel and is constantly talking trash about the guy with all the cars on his lawn.

I think about that all the time. My yard is full of cars and Im the one complaining…

Haha... we were watching the video a few weeks ago showing all the cars and my wife out of nowhere says.. "I bet their neighbors really love them"

@@rodneyss19 Wait until she sees this weekends video! HA We actually have a great relationship with our neighbors that you can see in the videos, The white house the other side of the driveway is basically our adopted family. All 3 houses across the street we occasionally get together(the 5 houses in total) for BBQ. The lady at the end of the road has a ring camera and sends me the clips doing donuts in the culdesac :) Funny thing is, we aren't the rowdy household

My neighbors sit around their front windows waiting to see what I’m dragging home next. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been under a car to look up and have one of them saying “what’s the plan for this one.”

I couldn't agree more!!! These are the 14" Classic wheels which technically wouldn't have come on our silver 240's trim level from the factory. We FIRMLY believe they SHOULD HAVE! It looks sooo good!

Things I appreciate about these videos: No plastic cover the size of a picnic table covering the entire engine. Being able to readily identify the basic engine pieces parts. Lack of globs of wiring emanating from sensors of unknown origin or purpose. Volvos. Thank You.

You are absolutely right chuck! If the b230 is too challenging you can always go to a b18 pushrod motor. In car tear down and rebuild is an easy afternoon!
