engine clicking V70-XC70 1998

Fred,

Rich gave me a lot of good info about relacing the o rings. I bought the o ring kit from Volvo, part # 8648358, and the liquid gasket compound, part # 11610599. I bought a small foam paint roller to use as an applicator from Wal-Mart, as Rich suggested. I also ordered the 2 additional o rings for the oil cooler lines part # 30637339 (replaces part # 9463173).

When volvospeed.com gets their archived posts retrieval fixed, Look at the second page of the thread titled "V70R hydraulic valve lifter ticking" on Volvospeed.com. I am prety sure it was the end of November 2003, November 24 sounds about right. Rich gave me some really good info about which o rings to replace, with a diagram. Pretty cool.

I subscribed to alldatadiy.com (25 dollars a year) to get the detailed oil pan removal instructions for my V70R. That really helped a lot.

There were 2 o rings between the oil pan and the block, behind the crankshaft pulley. Two of the o rings that I replaced actually in the oil pan itself, on either end of a crossover pipe that takes oil to the oil cooler, which is mounted to the back side of the oil pan. You will need 2 oil cooler o rings too. The other o ring that I replaced was at the end of the oil pickup/strainer tube, where it attaches to the block. I did not replace my turbo oil return line gaskets, they are not leating (yet), but I have them just in case.

Good luck,

Bill
