I have done this job for an oil leak. I would get the green volvo book #TP 31714/2. I do not remember how much it is because I bought 2 other books at the time, somewhere around 100.00 total. The only real pains were removing the one nut at the bottom of the intake manifold, cleaning the old gasket material off the top of the head pieces and getting the carbon off the cylinder surfaces. The book is filled with special volvo tools which would make the job much easier and quicker but not needed. Just mark every thing, the timing belt cogs, the slots on the cogs, the cams to the cogs. And when you are done on the assembly, turn the engine several times by hand with a wrench on the crankshaft bolt. I also then disconnected the fuses to the fuel pumps and crank for about 2 minutes to build up some oil pressure.

Think twice about doing a valve job though, Tom and other mechanics sometimes do not recommend doing valves without doing rings.

And there is plenty of help on the board if needed.

Good luck
