Default What is the real torque value for the front crank bolt without special tool?
I have read 425 ft lbs somewhere on the web. I am wondering how will I achieve that torque accurately without the volvo special tool 5188? Or should I just invest in that tool? I have a 3/8 torque wrench, is the volvo tool for a 1/2 torque wrench?

Also, it looks tight trying to get to that rear cam sprocket. Can it be done without a special tool?

How about a "sticky" listing good tool sources for the timing belt jobs on this motor?
Thanks!
