S70 problem
Help! I'll keep this as short as possible. 1998 S70. Water pump locked up and timing belt broke. Bent valves, of course. Bought a Chilton Volvo repair manual. Followed the steps faithfully for pulling the head. In the steps it said to remove timing belt sprockets, before removal of cams. So I did. IT DID NOT SAY TO MARK THEM FIRST! 3 bolts hold them on. I assumed since it didn't say to mark them first, they only went back together one way. WRONG! They'll go on 3 ways! How do I fix this?? Other than a random (?) mark on the cam where the sprocket bolts on, there's nothing. I've got the head back in, but can't go any farther. Again, HELP!

Those engines were timed on the other end, and the crank gets put in position using a little doo-dad inserted in a hole behind the starter. If you can find the timing mark on the crank, you can skip the doodad, but I think you are stuck using the rear of the cams for timing at this point. Look for tools to hold the cams, either factory style or somebody's home-brew design.
I don't recommend anybody look in a chiltons for any reason, but I suppose in this case if you'd have looked in the factory shop manual you might have come to the same spot.
