VW D24t Full Engine Rebuild - Volvo 740 Turbodiesel Restoration

[@meyer7073]

Never been a step when youre supposted to tightned the head after you got i warm with a steel headgasket.. Om the other hand, with the other gasket, its 40,60,70 someting 90 degree, 90 degree, go to working temp, 90 degree, go 1000km then 90 degree again.. Could be wrong but pretty sure i never seen that the steel gasket never is supposted to be tightned after working temp🤔

[@Volvodennis]

Correct, no additional tightening with the MLS. According to Volvo, the MLS has to be done with 40, 60, 75 and ONLY 180 degress.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

I'm glad you brought that up, I hadn't considered the sequence might be different for the MLS. I'll annotate the video and pin your comment. Thanks!

[@adamfletcher4262]

@@VolvodennisYes thats right id do 2 90s instead of 180 in one go tho

Just d24t swapped a 760 here in alberta. got the whole thing installed and then realized it was missing a rod bearing, took the whole engine apart and am in the middle of swapping the crank and connecting rods from one of my parts engines. very rare engines on this continent and glad to see someone else is putting some love into them.

Being an owner of a 740 with the D24T (in a small european country) , brought me to this here channel. Great videos with a great sense of humour. Keep up the good work, Mr. Baked Beans :-)

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Thank you for the kind words! Greetings from North America!

Rebuilding my d24t in my pinzgauer after a front timing belt failure. Big damage. I’ve got a video to add soon looking at what the failure did in a few very short second. The pinzgauer d24s have hydraulic tappets and the front belt has a tention pulley instead of tensioning with the water pump. Great video put out at the best possible time. Thanks from the UK

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Sorry to hear about your engine, but thanks for the info! Will certainly work it into the next video! At least parts aren't too hard to come by yet. Best wishes from BurgerLand!

5:00 in I would say what small residual water or moister would burn off with the heat of the oil, and the metal, it’s going to steam out the crank case when it hits operating temperature. But thank you for the videos! Not many out there! I have a numbers matching 83 I’m the second owner and 188k trying to get it running again! Keep up the great work!

[@Foghorn117]

Great video, I know exactly what is feels to have a fresh d24t! I have a d24tic that I just did everything too also! And ima build another one this summer 🎉

[@gunslinger135]

Cannot wait for this thing too run

[@agusdrummer]

Nice looking nugget! D24 owner and if you want to keep that head flat a tight consider loosing the viscous clutch cooler and do the electro cooler retrofit. Also a proper oil cooler with thermostat,15 row mounted wherever it fits in front of the rad. And running a whole quart more oil that what states the book will do wonders to lengthen the life. Please use full synthetic oil. 5w40 or if you're going to up the boost run 0w40 but always full synthetic. This engine can do a million kms no problem if you can manage temps properly, cold starts uphill are killers. And pulling trailers on a slope for a long time is another classic killer. The head gasket Will pop. Head studs are great upgrade but an extra 400 bucks. Any how, thanks again and I hope to show my rebuild soon.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Luckily, this thing will be relatively light duty. I will probably do a transmission cooler, but given how cold it will be sometimes, I will probably stick with the OEM oil cooler.

[@cjp7812]

good video! and yes the D24 did get hydraulic lifters in the TIC model if im not incorrect

[@11oxoJAWA]

Yes, you are correct. But these are D24TIC after modernisation (after 1992 think). With hydraulic lifters and EGR valve too. I have one of the first D24TIC (1987) without hydraulic lifters and EGR.

[@pommez4668]

The d24tic in the 940is and late 760is has hydraulic lifters,mine 1992 945 got it

Great video you have made there thank you for taking the time to do it. Could you possibly tell me what torque setting you used for the con rod caps? The data I have is 30NM the 180 deg but it feels way too much, i get to 90 deg and dont dare go any more...

[@volvo740-cerwinvega7]

Use green locktight on the crank bolt! Unless you will snapp off the lock tab on inner sprocket

[@mazii666]

Great video.

[@LongbowMedia]

Do you know the torque settings for the screws holding the gear cover on the inside of the oil pump? I used a regular phillips screwdriver to tighten until "tight." The green book says "install cover" without any additional specs. Wondering if there's a chance that they might back out over time.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

As far as I know, it's just German torque. They're right up against the block, so not like they can go anywhere haha.

[@jmjohnson8357]

hello, have been enjoying your D24t diesel over haul videos, all well done and informative, as I am getting ready to turbo my D24 natural ,are you able to recommend a aftermarket turbo for my project please? just want a bit more of omff not going crazy thanks

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

From what I have read, the best option is the original hot section with a larger t4 compressor. The original turbine wheel has an unusually low trim to spool at low rpms and you'll want to keep that for streetability.

[@ReekySpeed]

I'm have a few bellhousings now, thinking of getting some more cast if you're interested?

Hello can you tell me what front camshaft belt you recommend i can't get genuine volvo in uk there is one for sale in germany ridicules money i sent of for a contitech belt but it was very poor construction so i sent it back im thinking of a gates belt , but need the best one available ,i have ,the genuine idler fully,belt tensioner, i have a SKF water pump, and a INA water pump, not sure which one of these is best tools just need the belts now , your videos are really good keep up the great work , regards jim

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

I'm not 100% sure what the OEM would be, but I have never had a problem with continental belts. Gates, Dayco and Conti are all I could get in the states. Of those 3 i'd trust the Conti. What made you think it was poor quality?

[@isakkjellberg6800]

awsome vids

[@ZODDZERO]

very nice

[@cortin7786]

I would probably just gap the fuel lines with zip ties if the original gappers is hard to get😅. Also why rebuild the turbo and not just put a bigger one in for the extra ponies? I do believe I have a spare 16T from a 850 T5 if you can make it fit somehow.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

I considered it, but given the no power I'm trying to make, the original turbo is more than plenty.

[@gregweber8951]

I may have a bell housing if I upgrade to my bmw ZF 5 speed

[@big_baby_ol]

Thanks bro, i purchased non steel head gasket, but also im not polish head, is it great mistake?

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Nah, the regular gaskets are even more forgiving for surface imperfections, so it'll be good as long as it's flat and clean.

[@big_baby_ol]

@@bakedbeansgarage116 thanks for calm, d24 must live!)

[@burepajkn4975]

the head gasket is not a 1,6mm gasket it is a 1,4mm for the N/A engine. 1dot=1,4 2dot=1,5 3dot=1,6. greeting from sweden!

[@burepajkn4975]

you have stupid high compression in that engine if you have a machined head and a 1,4 gasket. lucky the valves dont hit the pistions. VW states that the d24 head cannot be machined and you can only have a tollerance of 0.5mm.

[@burepajkn4975]

no the m45/m46/m47 did not come with the d24 engine in any shape or form. The m46 OD gearbox was the ONLY gearbox to come with the d24 up until the 940 and the m90.

[@burepajkn4975]

and if you bought injectors from a 1,6 those are 130 BAR injectors and the d24T are 155 bar.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Hello from Burgerland! Thank you for the input and corrections! My injectors are 155 bar, I may have misspoke because they came from a company that pretty much exclusively deals with 1.6s. they just happened to have them. As far as the head gasket and compression, I just followed the green book exactly by measuring the piston protrusion and landed on one dot. Not sure the specifics of the pistons, but safe to assume they're aftermarket. It's funny you should comment today, I actually just got it running, but it's kicking my ass with air in the fuel. It starts and idles fine but has an inconsistent miss and will die when I blip the throttle and the pump gets a nice big bubble.

[@burepajkn4975]

@@bakedbeansgarage116 well try and run it from a gas can in the enginebay. Also check your banjo bolts 1 is fuel in and 1 is fuel out. The fuel out has a pressure regulator and you Will Stavre the pump if you have those wrong. It says OUT on the head of the bolt

[@mirovuolle4458]

Hi! Do you have Anu tips for getting the air out of the fuel lines after installing new fuel lines for the diesel filter and replasing the throttle shaft O-ring. I cant get diesel coming from the fuel lines that go to the injectors when i try starting it

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

As long as you are getting power to the shut-off solenoid, you should be able to crack the lines at the injectors and bleed it no problem. My "will it run" video might have some useful info. A recent problem I had with my rabbit is that it would power the shut off solenoid in the "run" position, but not while cranking. Not sure if it is different with other chassis, but could be worth looking into.

[@evanreid5678]

it can also help to try and put air pressure to the fuel tank to help push the air out of the filter and prime the injection pump.

a tip for the 1.6 and 1.9s lock cam and pump, and when putting the belt on, ofc pull it tight between the pump and crank, then turn the crank one tooth backward slide the belt on and well every time i have tried. It put the correct tension between the pump and crank. Btw i may be forced to unsubscribe you are not barefoot this time :P
