Default Wednesday already?!

Another day passed,

another day on the Volvo stuff...

unfortunately my girl is probably totally fed up
with all this bricking and it is very hard for me to explain it to her
what this dieseling really means to me.
Sometime around 1990 there was a 78 244 2.1 then an 84 d24 244 that started it all and there were bricks and diesels around ever since, VW Golf-s, LT, Volvos etc. Dealing with these cars and engines bring back precious memories and provide joy (not always) and they serve as physical&brain activity too.


So today I continued disassembly (or assembly? ? IDK ) of the d24t that came from the donor 744.

It is actually the perfect pandemic project, well, one of the hundred


Started again playing around the intake manifold and managed to find the power sander to help me out. After doing half of it I gave up. Freaking Volvo should have polished that damn intake at the factory, such a shame they didnt think of it.


On the injector side of the engine,

I took off the taping from bolt heads and cylinder heads.

Cleaned and reinstalled the oil pressure sensor with a new copper washer.

Checked the new o-ring fitment on the dipstick bottom and removed the old oring (was rock hard and broke into 6 pieces as soon as I touched it).
