and you can check you cylinder compression ratio if you have the tool at that time.

 

yeah it still makes me really nervous. Is getting the teeth alighned what people are talking about saying "getting the timing right"?I just wouldnt want to do it bymyself, i mean the only thing i know how to do with the engine is change oil lol. Someone with me that knew what they were doing a little bit would make me feel a whole lot more comfortable. My dad would help but he hates working on cars and he gets impatient.

 

yeah impatience and volvo does not mix...lol...

 

very true.

if the marks line up. and the bolts are snug, your fine. no worries . i know your feeling though...

 

haha, yeah. Is the tensioner, pulley, idler, and water pump a lot more work to do yourself?

 

everything but the water pump needs to come off anyways. so no. the water pump is super simple.
