AFAIK, you should always use a thermal spacer and 2 gaskets on the Volvo pushrod motors.

And speaking of gaskets and spacer, I can't tell you how many times we've found the fuel pump gaskets and the spacer installed upside down which automatically causes an oil leak.

FYI, it's always a good idea to replace the spacer as they have a tendency to get brittle and develop cracks which causes oil leaks.

I like to flex an old spacer just a little before I attempt to clean it. 9 times out 10 it easily snaps in half.
