All,

I'm looking to purchase a 2007 XC70 that is going to need a new head as the water pump let loose and threw the timing when it when south.

My question to all of you out there is how hard is this job since its a variable valve head as opposed to simply a dual overhead cam head like on the 1998s.

I'm familiar with the procedure on the 1998's and have done it successfully twice, but need to know if this job will be worse than what that was.

I need to let the guy know before the weekend so if any of you here have had experience with this procedure on the variable valve timing heads, how hard it is, and how much does it vary from the non-variable valve heads.

Thanks in advance,

Matt
