Crank seals, water pump and head bolts
Glad Volvo decided to make the entire rear main seal plate removable, otherwise it might have been difficult knocking it out with the engine still on the stand. Did the front / aux shaft seal too, but didn't take pics...basically looks the same anyway.
Installed the brand new water pump too. It came with new hardware , seals, and a gasket, witch I like better than the flimsy one that came with my V.R. conversion set, so I used that instead. Only problem (and this was true of the V.R. as well) was that the gasket seemed to obstruct a portion of the entrance to the water pump.
Nothing a little exactly knife work can't remedy however...
Then the sky opened up so I spent the rest of the day inside reconditioning the head bolts....next time I think I'll just buy new ones, This was a bit more than $30 worth of effort.
The handy organizer
Ready to bolt down the head!
