Hello,

If you are talking about where the temperature sensor for the fuel injection screws in, you can use a short bolt with copper or aluminum washer.

An aluminum sealing washer for this purpose is included in the correct Elring head gasket set.

The bolt is metric and is 10mm x 1.00 thread and it is important that it has threads all the way to the head.

For the air slide you can fabricate your own block off plate by using a gasket as a template.

I have block off plates that I have made that are just plain aluminum, which makes them reversible in case the gasket surface deteriorates over time.

Someone in Brickboard land makes a nice block off plate with the Volvo logo engraved on 1 side.
