Tension gauge for 16v timing belts 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe Murphy on  Wed Dec 2 13:19 CST 1998 [RELATED]

I would like to try replacing the timing belts on my 740 GLE wagon with the B234F, 16-valve, engine. The Volvo manual calls out a tension gauge, P/N 998 8500, that has no units of measure for what it measures. Can anyone tell me a source of this tool, or a good substitute, and the approximate cost?

I would also like to know of a good (reasonable price) source for the belts, etc. as well as other parts for this engine. I tried IPD, but they said the engine is rare enough that they don't bother. I live in the Seattle area, but would be happy to mail order if the price and selection is good.

I would also gladly accept any tips at doing this job. Thanks for your help on this matter.
