The timing belt was messed up by the serpentine belt. The small roping from the serpentine belt was pulled up into the timing belt. (first i have ever seen this). the roping broke the tensioner, and it was just like the belt broke.


I need to replace intake and exhaust valves. Do you get these from a dealer, or do you have other recommendations.


Thanks.


See bent valve pic.

 

If you are not compelled to buy Volvo OEM ($50 a pop at tascaparts.com is the best dealer price you'd find), try EEUROPARTS.COM (Osvat or Intervalve after market can be had for about $15 each) . FCPEURO.COM also sells the parts but you may need to email or call if you don't see the non-Volvo parts on their web page.

 

I bought mine online after searching around for best price and availability.

 

Thanks. I will begin searching.

 

I had to buy 8 exhaust valves. I ended up buying from FCP Euro and went with the Iconel version because of the turbo. The top of the line sodium filled valves were just too much.

It was a few years ago so things have probably changed.
