I'm replacing the timing belt & seals and when I remove the gears, the idler gear alignment pin falls out in two pieces. Upon inspection, the cam pin is semi-crushed. Guess that what 350K miles will do to a 5mm pin.
The pin seems to be specially made as it is a multiple coiled pin of many layers which I assume is spec'd to minimize bent pins. Would a standard roll pin suffice? Has anyone used a std. pin or do I need to trek in to the stealership to order the Volvo part. I'm assuming the engineers spec'd a multi-coiled pin for a reason.
