Volvo V70 Timing tool


The cam timing tool is such a simple device you can make one.
On the back of the cams, after removing the covers, are two grooves that should be parallel with each other and the top surface of the cylinder head. Three peices of 3/16th flat bar welded or bolted together into a squareish "C" shape and pushed into the two grooves will lock the cams in place. You can now remove the cam pulleys and change the front oil seals (highly recommended when changing the belt)

If your pulleys have the elongated bolt holes where they bolt to the cams, this will make putting the belt back on much easier. Leave the six pulley bolts just less than finger tight, turn them clockwise until they are at the end of the elongated holes, install the belt (assuming the crankshaft is on timing mark) and pull the pin from the tensioner. The pulleys will turn as the slack is taken up, but the cams will not move. Now tighten the six bolts. Remove the locking tool and turn the engine over by hand (spark plugs removed) and check the timing. Crank pulley on it's mark, cam locking tool able to go back into the groove..

Lincoln LS

I bought a 2000 LS V8 Sport with 64,000 miles.. I now have 79k miles. Since then I have had the following issues:

1. Total Climate Control Module Failure: $850
2. Heated Seats: Crazy. Burn my butt sometimes othert timers don't work at all. Never looked into having them fixed.
3. Crazy engine/trans issue. Both check engine and trans light would come on periodically while excellerating at which time the car was puking. Answer: Dealership said 7 of 8 "coils" bad. Wanted $700 to replace them all. Upon further conversations and computer record reviews, they determined 3 of the 8 coils were actually mis firing. Had those three replaced 2 weeks ago for $400. Seems to be O.K. now, but I am leary that it isn't as smooth as it used to be. Not sure if that is perception or reality. Dealership coil tester apparently reads either good or bad under stress testing. Apparently 7 of mine were reading bad. What a fricken joke. Give me a good ole distributer........
4. Rear Brake Caliper needed to be replaced due to malfunction that burned through pad and router. Thus total brake job for $350 including caliper.
5. Damn car locks the doors randomly. No rhyme or reason. This is not user error. This is a car electrical issue. Thus after being locked out of the car twice at gas stations, I no longer EVER leave the keys in the car.
6. Leaky valve gaskets. $400 to fix. Leaving it alone.
7. Leaky headlights. Leaving it alone.
8. Random beeps peridoically while driving God knows from what. Beeps once then nothing. No idea.
9. Blows cold while idling. Dealer now says "thermostat" and is happy to replace the $13 part for $400 of labor.

Probably several other items I have forgotten at the moment that irk me.

So lets see other than not having any type of climate control in the cabin, the fact that I don't trust the engine & transmission, and with half of the lousy "luxary" items non working I don't see any reason why anyone would buy this car ever........... Especially with a 40k plus price tag. Who are they kidding? But hey I could continue to spend $500 a month in repairs/maintenance to the local dealership or I can throw this thing away and put a turnequte on to stop the hemmorenging.

Plus side. Car is dang fast and has nice radio. Oops forgot to mention that when I use the up/down volume controls on the steering wheel it will often times randomly change the station to the next preset...

A good driver from a test driver?

Hamilton started his fantastic racing career being a test driver. Do you think it is a good way to start your career in the same field? Will you get better luck if you use this way than if you do the "normal" way?
I think it's definitely a less conventional way to go about it, as you aren't bound to get noticed by anyone while test driving cars. If you're willing to do the work on the side to put yourself out there, though, it definitely can't hurt for your resume!
It works for F1 I think. I've seen drivers coming up through the ranks there, beginning by being test drivers. Even in NASCAR, doing things for teams is a way to get noticed.
If there's a will there's way, whatever way it would be. There is nothing wrong becoming a race car driver from being a test driver. I think they even have an edge to those drivers who have made their through conventional racing because test drivers feel how the cars are doing. They can use that advantage while racing by knowing the capacities of the car they're driving.
I believe that the talent scouts are always aware of every potential drivers they find. Being a test driver is a great way to get noticed. That's why I think it can be a good option for building career as a driver in this field.
