Head Removal, Volvo 850, Head Gaeket - Video

This video shows how I removed a head gasket for a Volvo 850. Should be the same for the S70, V70 and may work for the 960, S90, and V90 cars as well.

Wow brother! Ain't it sweet you can go to a junkyard, play around and experiment with other people's cars!

I love these videos, everytime I get a YouTube notification then your name pops up, I get an uncontrollable grin!

How to use an angle / degree torque gauge - Video

LOL, thanks man. I hope you are leaning things. Yes it is nice to go to the junk yard and practice or do a video for someone and not have to tear my car apart.
