Setting the valve clearance of your Volvo with B18 or B20 engine - How To

[@VintageWanderer]

Great video! I have had old VW air-cooled cars all my life and have adjusted them similar to this but I needed this video to confirm it was pretty much the same on my 1966 Amazon 122s. Cheers,

Before the adjustment process is undertaken, worth a careful examination of the rocker arm shaft and also the rocker arms themselves. Any slop therein won’t result in successful valve clearance adjustment. Also, I’ve heard the camshaft position as being on the “toe” when adjusting clearance.

Nice video. Can you make one on how to change the valve stem seals please.

[@pettttson]

Thanks for the guide, made my engine run a lot quieter

[@davidwelsford3189]

I had heard the "sum of 9" where valve #8 is fully open and #1 can be adjusted, #7 open & #2 is adjusted, etc, but I think I'll try this method of "sum of 5" today. Seems easier and faster.

[@bauke420]

i've heard the sum of 9 too but now i'm seeing different ways and it kind of confuses me.

[@ludvigdahlberg6982]

can you make a vido where you show us how to change a head gasket. mine is blown on my b30

[@sebbish91westside]

hejsan! i belive its the same thing for the aquamatic volvo engines to? i have a AQ115 b20

[@Mr_maggot]

I have a question, I own a 1992 volvo 440 with a b18u engine, can i assume they operate in the same manner?

[@conceptalfa]

What about if the camshaft is slightly worn and thus the 0,40 (I think the original setting when new was?) valve setting can't probably be used any more?

[@cannonandre9513]

great guide!!! can you do a video on how to replace the intake/exhaust manifold gasket?

[@rabaham]

Thank you for great video. Now I have the now how to do my B20 engine

[@kfallstidi]

[@j.ilustre5159]

[@banarne71]

[@NordicarClassicVolvoParts]

Thank you very much for subscribing and your compliment!

[@kjveslum]

Nice. But arent valve clearance usually adjusted with a warm engine? Especially on pushrod engines? Or are Volvo valve clearance values listed for cold engine?

[@Jii_Pee]

Yes there are values for warm and cold engine

[@n0ff90]

Very easy .Great Job

[@magnusfeil6105]

Great video! Is there a trick to rotate engines with a fan clutch (w/o removing it)?

[@NordicarClassicVolvoParts]

If you turn the crankshaft pully with a wrench, the camshaft will turn as well!

[@robkj7575]

Too hard. Just set at top dead center adjust 4 valves, then rotate only one time to top dead center again and adjust the other four...

[@chikitabowow]
