Thanks to everyone who replied,

Well I finally got the time and parts to get the head pulled and the distribution pipe removed.

Sure enough the pipe was filled with rust and junk back between the third and fourth slot. I cleaned it and the water jackets in the head and then reinstalled everything and got her back together and running. The car now runs cooler and the head is the same temp all over....finally.


Im supprised people dont just pull this pipe and leave it out, as it looks like a future problem waiting to happen. But Im sure Volvo in there supreme wisdom have it there for a good reason....but it was tempting.

Hopefully these pics of the Distribution Pipe will show up OK.

Cheers
Rob
