Hi folks,

I just finished re-assembling everything, and I decided to take courage and turn the engine on.

I have recorded a video, but something does not work, there is a tic tic tic, I suspect one of the valves, but I cannot think to what I could have possibly done wrong.

Please ignore some of the conversation I am having in Italian with my wife.

From mid video onward you will see smoke coming from the turbo/manifold area, it did the same 3 months ago when I installed the new exhaust manifold, after two days it stopped.

In this moment I am really frustrated, as the idea to disassemble the crankshaft again, after 5 weeks I have been working on my car, (when I could during the evenings), is killing me.

If it is a valve, I changed all the the rubber absorbers, before doing that, all the gaps were within tolerance, like, 0.35, is it possible something changed after I added the new rubber rings (Volvo call them absorbers).

I guess I should measure again to see if anything has changed.

I do not know what to thing really, the alignment of the timing belt?

My other concern is that this is a interference engine.

Any help is appreciated, more than ever.

Thank you,
Alessandro
