great videos! i have learned so much about my volvo from you thank you very much! i have watched a lot ,a whole lot of videos on water pump cam seals oil seals and timing belt and from all of those videos from all of those various methods and steps ,its like this ...paint mark every part and the exact place that each part bolts onto the motor or spins around in each place it spins on the motor.The belt, gears, pulleys ,shafts,EVERYTHING .mark every piece that you are going to take off before you take it off and when you put each part back on be sure all those parts match back up exactly. there are several methods to successfully removing the parts but which ever method you choose match up your marks exactly to the position the part was in before you started you will not fail.of course you should be very mechanically inclined and have the tools and paint as well ...if you are not you should for sure watch as many videos as possible and follow steps to a T. that worked great in my case for my volvo xc70 2.5T anyway.

@itsaginamarie3 жыл бұрын
this may sound crazy, but it worked for me. When this just happened to me 4 months ago, i was about gonna give up on a 260k volvo s70. Exactly as you see in this video was what it was. I had already looked [desperately, as the leak was too bad] into oil sealants you add to oil. When i finally found what he shows here in this video, i had a long shot idea. I simply pushed the cam seal back in with a stubby screwdriver, working around it from opposite sides, so as to try to get it seated evenly. [this thru the holes you see in the 'sprocket'.] I didn't push hard, just gently. Crosshatch, like wheel lug nuts. When i had the damn cam seal what i considered 'seated' in its recess, i bought some blue devil 'rear main sealer', and using a small paint brush [which i broke the handle off to make 'stubby'], i painted the blue devil product directly onto the cam seal itself. [this while it was snowing, in a parking lot!] I then bicycled home and came back next day, -leaving some ten hours of 'curing' time. [this ain't something 'blue devil' recommends!] i then followed the 'blue devil' company's directions, [i think], simply pouring the bottle of 'rear main sealer' into the engine's oil crankcase and running the engine at idle for two hours. Despite some apprehension at starting it, the seal held! After the two hours of the motor idling, i GINGERLY drove the car home, and idled it some wherever i gingerly drove it for a few days. I BABIED IT! within two weeks i drove it normally. Easy, but normal. A month later, i got on it here and there, -and I still do now! Too soon to say for sure, but i think it's a permanent fix!! May god show this to another who needs it to keep his 'beater' going, -volvo or no! some points: blue devil also makes 'oil stop leak', which i think is same formula, but more [fluid and money]. Think i paid $16ish for 'main sealer'. Blue devil's probably 'the best', though other brands are out there. The stuff expands gaskets and seals somehow. This stuff obviously made my 'loosey' cam seal expand enough to snug it firmly in place. i should note that in this video, the seal seems different than mine was. It seems like if you were to start pushing it into its recess with something, it wouldn't have had as much resistance as mine did. But i can't be sure from a video... Even if it IS looser, you could duct tape a matching cylindrical object over it, or in some way hold it in. If you can get it to stay in after painting the 'stop leak' on it and adding it to motor oil, it could still expand it to hold. But if the cam seal pushes in snugly, so much the better. My exhaust cam [rear] is a VVVT cam, with that kind of bell shaped pulley. It has no holes in it, as the 'sprocket' in this video does, to place a stubby screwdriver through! Thus, alas, you can't fix it this way. [at least i can't see how.] i think if my rear cam seal woulda blown, i'd a said goodbye to my baby, -cause doing this job 'right' ain't no walk in the park. And i do wrench some... i also was warned that the pcv system likely caused this failure, and that i had to fix it or more trouble. But i did the dipstick test and the rubber glove test, [thanks robertDIY!], and they both passed. I think the seal just got old and i drove her too hard that night. I lost 3 qts of oil in ten miles b4 i finally stopped. I should change timing belt, [soaked in oil!], but won't, -as it was just changed! Just washed her down good with brake cleaner. [should give it a second wash soon again.] since this doesn't seem a pcv issue, i would definitely recommend using 'high mileage' motor oil in your old car/ truck. Definitely these volvos! cheap insurance! It's similar to the blue devil stuff, but likely much less concentration. You could even add the blue devil stuff, maybe 1/3 of a bottle every other oil change. Mite be better. Blue devil raised my oil pressure a lot. At least 1/4! [i got a gauge.] Don't kno why. But no harm i guess, and by golly, it saved my car! It may drop down when i change oil. There have been no side effects from this blue devil oil sealer, as there can be with 'sealers', generally. I've heard of them gunking up things, esp. coolant sealers. it is possible that the cold weather may have [barely] helped my cam seal 'seat'. If it's summer, maybe you'd put ice [or freon?] in cam seal area... Just an idea. Who knows? I originally left this comment on another video elsewhere. The repair has never failed since, after nearly a year! In fact, I just put some 3000 turnpike miles on car in this last month, with a lots of high speed hammering on her! Was over 100 mph 3x! No prob. This "miracle" fix is a solid as a rock.

Hi from New Zealand, I had my 2002 Volvo V70 XC lose all its oil at the carpark yesterday afternoon leaving a pool of oil, I had no idea what the cause was but after watching your videos, I now have a good feeling that it is the camshaft seal. The car is going to the mechanic next week (I will clean the car park). I have shared your excellent videos with the mechanic, a great guy. I will let you know if it is the camshaft seal or something else. I have always owned a Volvo, 240, 245, 260, 265 and the magnificent 740 GLE and the powerful 760 GLE. The Volvo name comes from the infinitive of the Latin verb "volvere (to roll)" and it was conjugated into Volvo, which means "I roll." Keep them rolling. Thank you again.

This was a very good helpful video with one exception that i think might be rather important. This is why i comment the Video. The wheel that was disembeled was locked into position at once without letting the evetual tension on the belt get lost. So this is the way i whould do. 1. Put the cambelt on as showed in this video. 2. When cambelt is on loosen the 3 screws around the weel You dissasembeled before. (Just losen it a bit so all tension that might be there if You missed ever so slight will be lost.) During this process i have seen in other videos that the tension on the "tensioner" is put in max position. ( Like 50 degrees position) 3. Now we have secured that there is zero tension between the 3 wheels involved since only one wheel is dissembled and the other 2 wheels presumed to be ok in factory settings. This is a very critical procedure i think. Please comment if You think i might be wrong. NOW we tension the bolts at the right amount of Nm to the wheel. 4. Now You finally correct the tensioner to the right position. If 20 degrees surronding temperature in the mittle position. Fasten the screw to the tensioner mittle position and were done.

@@PistonShack I usually follow the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." One exception has often been with engine seals, where I tend to err of the side of caution and replace them if I'm in the area. Perhaps it has to do with the vehicles I've owned in the past, which included several Chrysler, BMW, and Mercedes products, which liked to bleed oil from everywhere. I popped the cover off my '95 and looked at the seals. They're both dry as a bone, and since they aren't particularly difficult to get to, I've decided I won't fix what isn't broken. The '97 is a different story. Both are leaking, so they will get replaced. Since these have the older engine design, I think they have the same seals and gears for intake and exhaust. Never thought I'd love a Volvo until I fell into owning one. They are amazing machines.

Helpful hint: use sandpaper to take the sharp edge off The bore that the seal goes into so you don’t shave the rubber right off of the outside of the seal. Also, you can fabricate a disk with three holes in it and a large center hole and you can use the three bolts that hold the cam sprocket on to press the seal and evenly and consistently instead of using a hammer.

If u have the vvt system i highly recommend you get the cam locking tool and install it, if you remove the pullys you have to do a procedure to set timing to factor spect you loosen the center bolt and remove the center cap loosen the 3 8mm bolts around pully as well before doing all of this tho before you remove anything make sure your lines are all in place on top dead center and install the cam holder once u do that then you remove the cap loosen center t55 bolts and 8mm bolts then tight the center bolt just a bit turn pullys counter clockwise make sure the 3 center bolts are all the way counterclockwise then loosen center bolt again and turn pullys clock wise pully and vvt system clockwise then exhaust cam you turn 1 tooth b4 timing and the other one you turn 1 1/2 tooths b4 timing then u tight center bolt to 120nm then after you tighten it you set pullys to timing then put belt make sure all 3 lines match up turn engine backwards just a bit then turn in clockwise again set it on timing and if all lines match up then u tighten the center cap and hold the pressure on the ratchet and while your doing that you tighten the 3 8mm bolts on each pully as well and then you remove your cam holder tool turn engine 2 times make sure lines match up and your set put it back together and your good to go its a long process but it wont work any other way if u remove pullys to change seals

Good morning Edwin! Thank for watching Edwin) You don't need to worry about marks on crankshaft sprocket. We only have to set the first cylinder in top dead centre (TDC). Otherwise we need to remove harmonic balance pulley to get down to the crank marks, which is totally unnecessary in our application. When two marks at exhaust and intake sprockets alight with a timing cover, that will automatically set crank in proper position (if timing belt is in place). You can also remove first cylinder spark plug to verify 1st piston TDC position. Take care brotha!

Also try to do simple things first, swap coils, do contribution test to find which cylinder dead ect. When last time did you change plugs, coils.

Hey nice video,, except that music .. Your engine PCV system is getting plugged and crankcase pressure becomes the force that pushes seals out under boost. Your exhaust cam or rear main seal will likely get pushed out next and you definitely need locking tool to torque 80 ft/lbs center bolt on exhaust cam sprocket. Keep up good work.
@PistonShack3 жыл бұрын
You are very welcome Rich! Thanks for watching it. I would like to add a few words to your comment. PCV system had and has a good vacuum. Over pressurized PCV system will push oil through the seal but 99% won't push the seal out. The seal was old and dry which couldn't sit at high RPM. There way to replace exhaust camshaft seal. I should film exhaust seal replacement later. How to do the repair without specialty tools. You just need old timing belt couple pairs of vise grip pliers, 3/8 or 1/2'' power ratchet and few sockets. There is a way to torque 80 ft/lbs center bolt-on exhaust cam sprocket. The music clip became so load after all. I set music to 1% and voice recording up to 100% but after I uploaded the video to KZfaq background music turned a bit loud. The exhaust seal (HomeStyleRepair) is coming later with timing belt replacement. Cheers!

MY COMMENT BELOW DESCRIBES A "MIRACLE FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN VIDEO, with zero wrenching work!! By the way, I'm not a woman. Just "borrowing" another person's account here. Also, this man's "workaround" of the standard repair, without using the cam locker, is impressive. But I think he could have succeeded with my repair here too. This is because his seal failed on a timing belt pulley that was the non-VVVT type, which allows you to push it back in through the pulley holes and paint on the Blue Devil Oil Sealer through those same holes. Impossible on later models with the two VVVT hubs, as I see it. (Also impossible if his rear cam seal went out, as it's a VVVT hub, same as mine. These two are the seals in the front of motor. I don't know anything about the "rear engine" cam seals.)

I would check body, make sure vehicle wasn't in any major accident. ASIN transmission is very sensitive to ATF quality, if fluid wasn't change - most likely gearbox will go out first. Check for blow by, when you take oil filler cap off, should have vacuum. Check if previous owner has prove of all maintenance and repair records. The best advice to take a car to mechanic you trust.

Just as a point of consistency, at 16:15 or so you say to not get lube on the outer diameter of the seal - I agree with that and I might put a touch of loctite. However when you apply grease to the camshaft, you also smeared grease around the outer rim. That disagreed a lot with what you had said.

I replaced both front cam seals of a S70 year 99, locked the cams at the back beforehand. Put the vvt hub back in the previously marked resting position and spring loaded at the time of belt installation. When I test rotate the engine manually ,there is a spot where the sprocket timing marks align with the top cover I have to have a bigger force to move through and the tensioner roller arm swings to the right and a half circle later swings to the left showing less tension. Is there a conflict in the system which can be fatal if motor being turned on. Thanks if you could answer this and for this clear descriptive video you've posted.
