great little quick video and just what i needed. one small note, the intake rear cam, if the cover is there, never got a cam seal as the rear plug functioned as the seal so that small part there wasn´t a hack by the previous owner. thanks again.

Thanks for the comment! I had no idea that the dust cap served as the seal. So I guess in my case the dust cap was not sealing correctly and I just did extra work. I assume there's no issue with installing a seal anyway?

@@wc2787 I had the seal on there with the dust cap, but the comment from James Madison is correct, you don't need it. I actually had a PCV issue that caused the front cam seals to blow out a few months after this video was filmed, so I went back and removed that came seal behind the cap. I then installed the cap and did a very light bead of RTV around it just to keep any oil from leaking around it. It's what a local Volvo guy does, so I followed his lead.

For those of us contemplating doing this job, thorough videos like this are helpful to let us know if we'll be getting in over our head or not. Honestly, I can see this going south for me in different ways ..especially when it comes to extracting and pushing the seal in. That looks like it takes some finesse. I hate spending the money but you gotta be realistic about what you can and cannot do.

Totally agree with being realistic. Because the money you save can quickly go out the window when you have to get a tow to a shop and have them do it. That being said, the seals really aren't that bad. Just need a steady hand and the right tool. There's actually a tool to install the cam seals if you think that would help you out.

I just did this service today while also changing out my PCV system. Like you, I didn't have a seal behind the black dust cap. I thought that was odd, as I'm pretty sure the cap was original and had never been removed. Question is: Will installing a seal where there wasn't one going to cause adverse issues?
@StevesGarage

Some others have commented that there isn't supposed to be a seal in that location. The part diagrams I looked at showed one which is why I installed one. I can say that I had the seals blow out one other time after this video (because of PCV issues) and I didn't install a seal, just sealed the dust cap and it's been fine.

@@just__dave My guess would be too much crankcase pressure, which would also be indicative of a malfunctioning PCV system. Make sure you clean out the engine block passages when doing the PCV, that was my issue. The person who did it before I owned it never cleaned those out.

I changed my spark plugs and I had to un clamp my turbo intercooler and after that I guess I didn’t clamp it enough. While driving I noticed something wrong so I checked under the hood and it was in clamped. I re clamped it tight at home and now my oil is leaking more it never dropped onto the floor but now it does. What can be causing this issue. Would it be the cam seals?

Hard to say what would be causing it via a comment section. If it is the cam seal, your PCV most likely needs to be serviced. There can be a small amount of oil in your intercooler hose from blow by, but enough to drip in the floor seems excessive.

That seems to be what most cam locking tools are because you lock them to do the timing belt. You need a cam sprocket locking tool. You can usually pick up an adjustable one for a decent price at your local parts stores, you just have to find one that fits.

My question as well. The volvo cams lock from the rear, so the only way to "lock" the cam while taking that bolt out on the rear is by the timing belt itself. But that's okay because, as they say somewhere, "as the one cam turns so turns the other cam and the crank."

I don't have a video for that because P80/Whiteblocks don't have a valve cover gasket. They use anaerobic sealant. You said S60, so I'm assuming P2 or P3?

Unless the cam cover has been removed and installed poorly, it's most likely the oil fill cap gasket leaking or a PCV issue. Depending on the mileage if you haven't addressed the PCV it'll need to be done. For the oil cap gasket, IPD sells a Viton version that makes that gasket a one and done item instead of needing a periodic replacement.

I'm kind of panicking because I didn't have a locking tool and when taking off the grey little wheel on the back the cam moved about a quarter inch. However the belt itself did not move but the whole gear, when I look at the cam gears pop in and out about 1/8th of an inch :(

So the cam is moving in and out of line with the belt? Or it rotated out of position? The cam shouldn't move laterally as it's locked into place by the cam cover. If it moved out of rotation, you might have to reset the VVT hub to sync it back up.
@JCDUDECANTU

@@StevesGarage Sorry, badly explained. So the cam gear itself does not move at all however I can feel the cam internally rotate as I loosened the wheel on the back, but less than a quarter turn (cam gear remained stationary and frozen in place, so to speak). Yes, the cam gear moves horizontally in and out of line with the timing belt (in and out about the width of a cardstock piece of paper, which would lead me to think just free play between the two parts that bolt the cam into its "cradle" in the head or something. Additionally when I tightened it back up it rotates back to the position it was in (clockwise about a quarter turn) prior to loosening and unbolting. Hope this helped clear any confusion I've replaced and bolted everything back up in regards to the PCV system. All that's left after the cam seals is the timing belt which I haven't started yet

@@JCDUDECANTU No problem! I think that's the movement within the VVT hub. You're doing the timing belt, so your best bet is once that's replaced, turn the engine over by hand two full rotations and make sure everything stays lined up. That's a good practice to have after doing the timing belt anyway, but extra insurance since you felt the cams move while doing the seals. Let me know if that makes sense or if you have any more questions!
