Also, check for simple items, such as dirty air filter, fouled spark plugs, etc... If tune-up has not been done recently (in the last 2-3 years), I would replace/clean them all at once.

My guess is that it's worn valve guides. They can be replaced with the head left on, but it's not a fun job. - AB

Volvo doesn't sell the guides at all.
Machine shops will sell you Bronse guide which will seize the valve.
The seals are even a B**** to do off the car.
