1996 Volvo 850 head gasket replacement
 

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could give a brief write up of any special things that I need to do replace the head gasket on a 96 850.

Thanks

Metric tools. I basically asked this same question in the thread below, but with some more details.

what thread, dont see a thread below.

Thanks

fitting a motor into an 850. I asked about rebuilding the motor. All I'm saying is that if someone answer that question, it may have some more details. For you, you just have to replace the head gasket?

I rebuilt the cylinder head on my 95 850. Removed and installed myself, I am a licensed mechanic. Buy a chilton book etc. Built a tool to lock down camshafts. Top part of the head over the camshafts is a slow process bolting it down evenly. Head bolts are torque to yield. Do not remove camshaft gears.
