So, I am in dire need of the o-rings for the head, but I just cant find the size anywhere. I need to get the head back together asap, and did not order full gasket set, just combined 8v and what I could find in nearest part store. I reeeaally dont want to order 16v set just for the o-rings. :e-shrug:

Just noticed why you should not create threads within 10 minutes of waking up, I am talking about plug wells, not oil wells. lol.

Is this the spark plug tube seal? If so, here are some part numbers:
3514296
225 53018 609
73.555.42N

Volvo never sold a head set for the 16 valve engines, just a valve cover set. You had to buy everything separately.

3514296 is the correct part # for the spark plug tube o-ring.

Elring however, did make a head gasket set for the B234F.

Caps for emphasis:

DO NOT USE ELRING'S B234F HEAD GASKET SET!!!!

It's a mish-mash of gawd only knows what was made where. It's all throwaway parts but the head gasket itself.

I have everything else I need, but missing the spark plug well o-rings. I really just need measurements for them, can't go to local Volvo dealer due to working hours.
