Tightmopedman9 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I just ordered Volvo OEM main bearings for the intermediate section since I got a look at the block code, 1BBBBBB. I'll order the lower mains when I get the crank code. For the intermediate section to block, can I reuse the bolts or do I need new ones?

lookforjoe Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Why order crank bearings (main) before they check the crank? If it's worn you'll be ordering a new set... Carrier bolts (mains) can be reused a couple times before they should be changed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Because I'm optimistic We'll see what's what when they get the block apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Total seal piston rings may have what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Total seal piston rings may have what you need. ?? I ordered OEM rings. BTW, does anyone know if OEM rings are moly or steel? Edited February 22, 2014 by Tightmopedman9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvo5.0 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 For the intermediate section to block, can I reuse the bolts or do I need new ones? The intermediate section uses 3 different size bolts. The largest bolts (M10) are TTY and Volvo recommends replacing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tightmopedman9 Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) The shop got back to me with an estimate, and it's a little higher than I had originally thought. They want $810 for: Hone Head deck (if needed) Crank polish Balance assembly Clean block and pistons Engine assembly Basically, I can't afford the $810+$330(rods)+$170(rod bearings)+$220(piston rings)+$210(main bearings)=$1800. The short block only cost me $100 and the walls look fine. I'm thinking I might just install as is. BUT, with the engine out and rod bearings and piston rings already on order, I can save some money by only getting the block honed, rod bearings and piston rings replaced. That should save me ~800. I'm just wondering if I should even break into the engine at all. Edited February 28, 2014 by Tightmopedman9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzard_al Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 The M10 intermediate carrier bolts are part number: 1256343 and you need 12 of them. Same bolts for all white blocks through at least the RN engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Anyone know if part #30731538 'big-end bearing kit' comes with bearings for all pistons, or do I need to buy 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwebb502 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure from my own digging around that that is just a single rod set. Glyco 272197 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Volvo-850-C70-S70-V70-Engine-Connecting-Rod-Bearing-Set-Glyco-272197-/370941337176 I can't imagine that's not a whole set. I contacted them to ask though, as the ad had some wording about "1 part" .... EDIT: I'm reading bad things about Glyco standard rod bearings. Shows what I know about these motors..........

boxpin Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Those are not sputters, they are the base models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwebb502 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Agreed. He probably wants sputters; I was referencing the standards because I'm also on the hunt, but my needs are different... Wrong place to be posting the standards. Sorry. Lots of reading around indicates that the sputters are (as you know) a quality part, whereas the standards have taken a total nose dive in quality. I saw some pretty inexcusable bnib examples over on Porsche forums. Junk. So the standards, in my mind, aren't even really an option anyways. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
