"I dont really know what im doing but thats never stopped me before" amen brother

[@TheFlanman10]

Lube those cam caps!

[@BackmansGarage]

Yup, should have used som break in paste on them.

[@niklassvoboda7718]

Får lite 80 tal trafikmagasinet vibbar av introt. Superbra film rakt igenom.😀

[@averagetuner4006]

was planning on picking up an oil squirter block for my 940 to do a 300hp build. the timing of this series is perfect

[@UlfWolf_Skater]

Thanks for this helpful video! Solid content! I need to replace the head gasket in my b230ft (401tkm) due to oil leaking. Still not sure I should do it myself or go to the mecanics. I’m quite familiar with the Saab v4 engines and rebuilt them, but the B230 might have some specialities I’m not aware of. Once you did it, it si all easy. At least you showed me a lot of hints. Thanks for that!

[@janekrozlivka5808]

I love your videos, they are just perfect. Wonderfull conent, speaking, quality. Looking forward to see your channel grow! Keep it up, can’t wait for more.

[@BackmansGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@9john2k]

Hello! Your work is amazing! How much do you charge for a work like that?

[@dannesvanstrom3408]

Älskar dom här filmerna. Du är underbar, Volvobroder! Kul att du och jag kör exakt samma stuk, blanksvart billackade ventilkåpor och polerade rostfria A4 kupolmuttrar.

[@BackmansGarage]

Haha, härligt 😄👍

[@Felicien1.1]

I have been waiting for this video for 10 days now. Love the build! 💪💪

[@BackmansGarage]

Sorry about that, had, and still have to some degree, technical difficulties with this video. But sometimes you just got to send it 😄

[@Felicien1.1]

@@BackmansGarage No worries mate. Really like your simplicity. Not to serious while building! you just build and see what wil happen. I would build mine the same!

[@ronbeton1999]

The manuals say to torque a B230 head down to 20Nm, 60Nm and 90 degrees. Why did you choose to do 30Nm, 60Nm, 90Nm and 125Nm?

[@BackmansGarage]

30,60,90,115Nm the engine builder told me this was a better idea from experience. Probably should have mentioned that 😄

[@audiloves4284]

@@BackmansGarage I was wondering this as well. Thanks for the clarification, good bit of Info to think about for future reference

[@sverkere]

It's called valve clearance!

[@thejozuega6272]

After i am done with my 66' mustang project which is planned to be soon, i hope to buy an older volvo 240 and am most definitely going to use this build as a guide :)

[@nilssen3313]

The camshaft is a VX3 cam from the 531 Head. The heads came from the B230FB engine in the 940gl NA

[@Schwedenstahl245]

Thank you for the video. I almost always end up taking off my gloves at one point during repair or replacement, and then my hands get really dirty and then I wonder why my hands are so dirty and I have to clean them before I put my gloves back on.

[@jamesinc87]

Typically if your machinist has ground your valves and seats in, it is not necessary to lap the valves also, but always ask your machinist.

[@grapsorz]

ahh. your in sweeden.. that explain the biltema mineral oil can ;) where did you get the cam grinded and the price?

[@BackmansGarage]

Tror det hette Axelsson engineering i Varberg. Pris minns jag inte riktigt, 1500 kanske?

[@SuperdutyTruckLife]

Hope you lubed the head bolt threads first! And after final 3rd stage of torque you put a 90 degree turn on each bolt and thats it. No need for a re-torque after a heat cycle. Thx for the content! Im doing a b234ft build on my channel real soon. Actually picking up the motor today!

[@BackmansGarage]

Yes, all the bolts got lubed before assembly. However no 90 degree turn. This is an "alternative" way of doing this, not oem spec. Maybe thats why with this method you need to re-torque after driving. Hope your build will go smoothly 👍

[@bennyb.1742]

Oh cool! I'm slowly doing a B230/2.5L 16V Penta hybrid so I'll be watching for sure!

[@ctuning]

Kul att följa. Vad tänkte du köra för bränsle? Och styrsystem?

[@BackmansGarage]

Tack 👍 Blir E85 och någon roligare styrenhet, vilken vet jag inte än. 👍

[@swed_sled]

SS hardware the perfect cherry on the cake

[@Formula1-Dave]

The information and banter during the long videos is important. Fast forwarding time-lapse robs us of that valuable info.

[@BackmansGarage]

Thank you for your input, but please don't tell me how to make my videos :)

[@samdavis8788]

Do you not use the hushers if you are running lash caps?

[@BackmansGarage]

No, there is to my knowledge no way of using stock hushers when using Lash Caps. But, the valve noise is ok now that i an running it around 0.35mm valve clearance.

[@craazyy22]

150nm on the headbolts? Are they not supposed to be degreed?

[@BackmansGarage]

115Nm, and yes. Oem spec they should be degreed, this is an alternative method.

[@P80P2T]

Where is your T5 whiteblock engine now?

[@BackmansGarage]

Still sitting in the 740. 👍
