Hello all, this is my first post here, so please bear with me! I just got my familys 84' 240 GLT wagon back on the road and am giving it a good tune up just to make sure it will continue to run oh so sweet! :) I have a question that I have not been able to find an answer to even after extensive searching here at the archives. The question is what is the proper procedure for changing the timing belt, tensioner, front three seals on the b21ft engine? I have found intructions on NA engines, but none for the turbo models. My dad (his car since I was 13, 12 years later I think I am going to get it from him and sort of "keep it in the family"!) has the big volvo book, but they moved down here to MS where I am about 9 months ago and the manual is STILL in a box somewhere!!! :) Any advice, tips will also be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks again, Robert

P.S. '84 240 GLT Wagon, 194k mi.

too lazy for detail right now, but why would you think it much different than the NA engine? It isn't any different than B21X and only very slight diff's from B23OX.....

Hmm, guess I forgot to mention that, sorry. I cannot thnk of any reason, but I do not know for sure, so if the procedure is the same I just wanted to make sure just on the off chance that there was an important difference. Sorry I left that out.

Thanks, Robert

I've never done a timing belt replacement on either a normally aspirated or turbo'd brick.. but as far as I can tell the only time you'd run into something different from the NA cars would be if you had an intercooled B21FT... in which case you'd remove the intercooler (for more room) and go from there.
