FINALLY! VOLVO 5 Cylinder Teardown. This ENTIRE Engine IS RUINED! How Did This Happen?

[@Parker53151]

Your shop needs a Snap-On Dipstick Puller. Three payments of $358.50 and it’s yours.

[@DarkBitesz]

That’s a steal!

[@willbenner3]

An effective means of dip stick removal would remove a key element of dramatic tension from Eric’s videos.

[@IGS1989]

My impression of this 5-banger is that it's another old-school, well-built, solid and robust port-injection engine, designed to last a long time with proper maintenance and healthy driving habits, just like the VW's 2.5L we just saw recently on this channel. Of course, the timing belt is the only main flaw in the overall design that I can see; roller chains are so much better! It's certainly a rebuildable engine, based on the thickness of the cylinder walls (not sure if the block is cast iron or aluminum with iron/steel sleeves). The pistons are also bulky, with long skirts and wide compression/oil control rings, not the flimsy, underweight pistons/rods with thin low-tension rings we see in contemporary cars with "single-use" throw-away motors. Surely, the block and the internal moving components were designed to withstand the extra oomph from the turbocharger and still last a long time. Good job, Volvo!

[@manelk8]

I can still hear the 3rd year Mechanical Engineering prof. Telling us how 5 cyl engines minimize shaking force as we graphically solved the force diagram on a drafting table. 50 years ago

[@click9914]

Does a W10 engine have more, less or the same shake as a 5 cylinder?

[@MikeL-FL]

Actually only Inline 6s and certain V-12s (60°?) are perfectly balanced. Inline 5's are unbalanced from primary and secondary vibrations and need a balance shaft to be balanced.

[@yodasbff3395]

Great teardown, thanks for the video. 👍

[@andycanfixit]

The Yamaha V-8 they offered for a few years in certain early 2000's Volvos would be a fun teardown as well.

[@ghostwrench2292]

The V8 was available beginning in 2005 XC90 and later in the P3 S80. 2010 was the last year for that engine.

[@anthonyxuereb792]

Didn't know Volvo used Yamaha engines, thanks.

[@TassieLorenzo]

​@@anthonyxuereb792 It was the originally the 60-degree Ford Vulcan V6 with Yamaha-developed heads for the Ford Taurus SHO, then Yamaha redesigned it into a 60-degree V8 for the next Ford Taurus SHO. It was always a transverse engine when used in cars. So when Ford owned Volvo, the engine was increased to 4.4L and found use in the Volvo XC90 and S80 mounted transversely. It lives on as a 5L Yamaha marine engine nowadays, although Polestar (now Cyan Racing, not strictly the electric car company) made a flatplane crank 5L version of it for use in the Volvo S60 in V8 touring car racing in Australia.

[@twisted2291]

Most of the ones I have seen fail like this is from 3 different reasons. Reason 1 is over revving and skipped the timing. Reason 2 is a water pump failure then skipped time. Reason 3 is the belt tensioner gets weak, and allows it to jump timing. But it 100% jumpped timing and Mr Valve met Mr Piston, and that was all it wrote.

[@YZJB]

This one has the old-style auto tensioner on it. They’re notorious for letting go and smashing valves.

[@williamstaten8102]

Missing cover and something runs through jumping it.

[@grapsorz]

you forgot what i think broke here. the adjustable timing gear on the intake cam. when it feiles it put the cam out of timing.

[@andrewarmstrong7310]

I did the timing belt water pump and stuff on my mom’s 2005 S60. The Gates water pump I used went out within four months and took the engine with it. I got a good deal on a used 2018 S60 so she driving that. The bad thing was that Gates would not talk about their water pump being junk. All I can say is watch the aftermarket stuff.

[@mikec1544]

Had almost the same thing happen on a customers 97 2.3 ranger. Non interference thank god. The roll pin that held tension on the spring sheared

[@mr.magicman8001]

Gates is really, really poor quality now days. I JUST pulled a snapped gates belt out of a miata that was about a year old and had under 10k on it.

[@BMWE90HQ]

That makes me feel good Gates is the OEM supplier for my belt tensioner.

[@zadtheinhaler]

@@mr.magicman8001 Which is a shame, because I used to do auto parts back in the 90s/early 00s, and Gates was the go-to. It's a shame to see companies like them get ruined by bean-counters/MBAs.

it's gotta be Aisin or nothing else for these cars...

[@abqcleve]

Yay!! T5!! This exact thing happened to my C30 years ago. A mouse or other varmint decided to spend the night in my warm engine bay and when I started 'er up the next morning, the varmint got in between the belt and the gear and caused what you see here. There is no cover on this belt, as you all saw. Geico covered the $7k it took to fix. Ran great for years after. After this, I got in the habit of keeping moth balls under the engine in the driveway. No problems.

[@colchronic]

Ivan is a really cool guy and I've reached out to him numerous times when I got stuck with a car that I couldn't figure out He's always able to point me in the right direction what a great guy

[@remingtonwingmaster6929]

My 2001 2.4 liter Honda Accord was inexpensive to change the timing belt and water pump, just as you said. The first two I had done at 100k. The third was still going strong at 150k when I finally got tired of driving the car at 350,000 miles. The most trouble-free vehicle I've ever owned. Fantastic car....those days are gone forever.

[@BMWE90HQ]

2.4 liter? Pretty sure it was a 2.3 liter. Could be wrong it’s been a while since I had one but I’m pretty sure 4 cylinder was 2.3 and v6 was 3.0.

I had a 1994 850 Turbo. Loved it. it had the earlier version of this engine. 2.3L with 222 hp and 221 lb-ft or torque, and a 4 sp automatic. It had the most comfortable seats of any car I've had before or since, could do an honest 150 mph (according to more than 1 car mag test), could pull with a v-8 Mustang at some speeds, was solidly built, lots of room, good trunk, good amenities for its time, and logical controls. It had just 2 problems: the suspension was firm enough, but not compliant enough; and there was some torque steer on uneven pavement with full throttle at 50-70 mph. I bet the car would have been really sweet with a modern 10-speed auto. It came with early Michelin Pilot MXM tires that were superb. Still ran great at 111k miles with nothing but normal maintenance on the engine except for several broken engine mounts. Too bad Volvos of today are not made that way.

[@GreenmanBlunt22]

I had a 2004 V70 2.5t for a few years. It was such a wonderful car. Super comfortable for the cross country trips I made and pretty fuel efficient. I would get 525-550 miles per tank cruising at 75-80 on the interstate. Plenty of power to pass long lines of cars on two lane roads when needed. All around great car/engine :)

Here in the UK we favoured the D5 diesel engines… almost bullet proof even with standard service intervals. Capable of covering huge mileages without too much trouble. Also expensive. The T5 petrol engines (gas) however were popular with traffic police (highway patrol) and the more sporty models. Volvo are associated with doddery old men who wear hats and Sunday drivers.

[@muddywater6856]

When the timing belt broke on them, they just turned off....no drama😂

[@Mk3COrtInA2000]

I once had a timing belt engine that randomly went out of time. A mouse got in there and found its way in between the belt and the cam pulley while it was turning. Set the cam off a couple teeth

[@michaelwilkening8542]

It was amazing how many people didn't want to replace the other cam belt parts to save the $75 or do when replacing the timing belt. It was amazing how many timing belt jobs I turned down. I absolutely refused to do a timing belt without doing the water pump, tensioner and other assorted cam belt moving parts. CYA was my policy in life when it came to auto repairs.

[@toma5153]

I agree. I've had timing belts changed and the water pump fails within several months.

[@dagamer667]

What's crazy is how the car wizard just had a vehicle with that same engine and caught onto the fact that the timing belt is factory original. And it's a damn good point in favor of belts vs chains. One thing that has changed since chains became widespread is how the chains and related components became so much weaker over the years. Chains stretch, guides start shedding pieces, and oh my. Whereas most belts had at least some design consideration for the fact that it will have to come out at least once. Older timing chain vehicles not made in Europe had chain drives that would usually outlast other components. Whereas nowadays, some engines are lucky to make it to 100k without sounding like marbles in a blender on startup.

[@justinwyatt4621]

I had a 2002 xc70 that I absolutely loved! It was a dream to drive, and okay to work on. I put a timing belt, tensioner and water pump on it at 98k. The only reason we got rid of it was that you couldn’t fit three car seats in the back seat. 😭

[@johnb1658]

😂🤣 Ivan was the only other person I have ever seen working on a Volvo engine! I’ve had several Volvos and never had any engine issues.

[@andycanfixit]

The three killers of these engines are timing belt failure due to lack of maintenance, coolant system failure leading to overheat and a blown head gasket or coolant in the oil when the oil cooler fails killing the engine, and lack of oil due to leaking cam seals when the PCV system isn't maintained causing crank case pressure to kill the cam seals. If you maintain the PCV system, use a good quality synthetic oil in it and change your coolant at normal intervals 300k miles isn't difficult. They do like to consume a bit of oil, about a half to a full quart per 5k miles, but they also hold close to 6 quarts of oil.

[@jy2592]

hey my family used to have a S40 with that engine! pretty famous for not having a coolant level censor lol. btw if you can find a failed volvo SI6(B6304/6324) it would be really interesting to do a teardown!

[@waltrogers9770]

That's the same engine as in my daughter's car. Her serpentine belt broke and wrapped around the damper . Caused the engine to jump time. We were able to save the short block, but the top end needed a rebuild

[@ghostwrench2292]

These are fantastic engines with just a couple of vulnerabilities: one is like you experienced. The other is - on the automatics at least - the Medusa lower radiator hose and its plastic tee. It will crack and leak coolant. Many people never know until it too late.

[@type1mechanic]

The cams did move. Very little, but they did. Thanks Eric! Merry Christmas!

[@NightStalkers-hx3dq]

Never changed a timing chain in 45 years. Family and friends had belts break before scheduled replacement.

[@lancenutter1067]

Toyota R22 engines used to wear a hole in the front timing cover when the chain got stretched. Then, they would fill the engine with antifreeze. We used to take the front cover off, weld up the hole and then put a new chain and tensioner set on them. The other bad one was the Mitsubishi engines in the Dodge D50. They had 3 chains I think, in them. Coulda been two but was a huge disaster waiting to happen. Napa had a kit that would replace the oil pump and balance shaft chains and make the engine balance shaftless… vibrated slightly more but was way more reliable. But the heads cracked on those all the time too.. good times, good times!

[@muddywater6856]

Nissan Hardbody 4 cylinder had a chain that would fail due to the tensioner breaking. Otherwise, an indestructible engine.

I'm always surprised by how much rust forms in a (presumably linerless) aluminum engine from just(?) the rings. 25yrs ago I had a 4G64 at just over 60k jump time after hitting a bump at 15mph just enough to not crash the valves (I always assumed from a bad tensioner) so that can definitely happen.

[@johno9507]

Volvo 5 cylinder engines have cast iron liners.

[@TassieLorenzo]

I don't think many engines are linerless after the Chevy Vega debacle, though it's more common here and there on performance engines in things like Porsche, BMWs, Honda S2000, Mustang GT350 etc (metal matrix liners or Nikasil/Alusil etc or nowadays spray-on plasma arc liners).

[@SPAZTICCYTOPLASM]

It's possible it jumped time because the serpentine snapped. Maybe that's why the timing cover was damaged. It's a funny i think volvo exclusive issue where a bad serpentine belt can take out the timing belt.

[@michelleshaw337]

Hmmm - I wonder if this is a case of someone running the engine at high RPM, and aging valve springs were letting the valves “float” _just enough_? It seems like an awful lot of intake valves reached out and touched their pistons …

[@YZJB]

Most likely the auto tensioner failed. They’re notorious for it.

[@russellvoth5161]

As long as the Mft can prevent a piston hitting the extended valve from when a belt breaks , then yes a belt is superior but back twenty ,thirty year when a Honda belts broke then the engine was damaged beyond repair. Same time frame the Toyota belt breaks the valves didn't hit the pistons. I acknowleged that things have changed from then the dark ages when i was your age with chains , but it's worse for the consumer like me . I had my 3.6 liter GM chain changed at 112000 km due to stretch with regular oil changes at 6000km religiously from new . I believe it's poor quality steel used in the chains that help to premature stretching not an oil issue changing or level on my end. I'm now overly cautious now with oil changes at 4000-5000km using some of the best oil tested. Great video , never seen the insides of a Volvo engine . My Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎄🎁

[@mfree80286]

Better half had an 850 with the 5 pot... sudden coolant leak, and the resulting air pocket killed it in moments. It lifted the center of the head enough to have zero compression in #3 and single digits in #2 and #4. When it happened the warp was enough to lock the cams, it wouldn't even spin over until it cooled.

[@jackcaldwell485]

3:18 you probably about to fall face first when the bolt broke lol😅

[@speeddemon1092]

Chiming in with my own $0.02 on timing belts: They're easier to check over a chain, as its typically 3-4 bolts that hold on the belt inspection cover and said cover is usually in a spot that is easy to get to. When you DONT check it on a 5-10k mile basis, or said belt is the OEM belt and is 24 years old... well. Yeah. My family had a 2000 Dodge Neon with just 87K miles on it that we inherited after a family member passed. This car was lightly driven and aside from some minor things (and the clearcoat flaking away from just about every surface on the vehicle), it was in excellent condition. Until it wasnt; it had completely slipped our minds to check and replace the belt and about 6 months ago when pulling into the driveway (low power, not like one needs to floor it to get the car up a 4" hump), the belt failed to quite catastrophic results. I never saw the damage myself, but when it let go the resulting internal carnage cracked the block badly enough to get it to puke out a significant amount of oil, and according to the mechanic to got in there, the resulting chaos also got the cylinder head. Due to the age of the vehicle, it was decided to scrap the whole thing rather than try and get a replacement in there.

[@TacoAndy99]

You missed the science test!! We must have science!! 😂😂 At least we got to see a water pump get launched across the shop! 😅

[@Hammertime66]

In the pretty much the rest of the world except the United States , this engine was available in the Mk 2 Ford Focus ST/XR5 and later Focus RS . Very tunable with a vast array of aftermarket parts available . Several UK companies have extracted monsterous bhp from these , upto and just over 1000 bhp . Weak spot is cylinder liners cracking between 2/3 and 3/4 cylinders . Most tuners overcome this by fitting a shim in the thin slot between those cylinders to stop it happening . My own vehicle ran 350 horse and 410 torque on a hybrid turbo and bugger injectors and a remap plus other usual mods .

Only thing better than belt timing is geared timing! Yes, you have to change the belts regularly, but that also gives you a chance to have a good look at what else is going on, so, a win maybe? Personally loved my gear driven timing systems on my older motors...

[@andreichichak5242]

The bad thing about the 5's is the shellac, it's bad, even if you change your oil with really good oil regularly. The good thing, as we see, is that the bearings are still in perfect condition, even with all of that shellac. These engines could really use a few rounds of Valvoline's Restore and Protect, since they also have issues with low tension rings.
