Some confusion here as oil pan shows 1981. (?) Time to talk to previous owners for history.
I have 4 questions for the experienced. :`)
1,
Is it highly suggested to use an original VOLVO gasket?? No issues with aftermarket?
2,
What is the torque specifications on the oil pan bolts? Looks like I can`t find it in the `83 d24 manual.
3,
www.volvooemparts.com (North Point Volvo) lists the oil pan gasket as #1257662 for 1984 d24 240.
Did earlier
d24 diesels (`80) use the same? And how about the
d24t engines?
4,
The oil dipstick tube needs a new o-ring. Looks like there is room for two... Why. What is the original setup?? Suggested to use a (high-heat) sealant/glue also? Which one?
Thanks.
