Installing The Camshaft And Tappet
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Install both the tappets for the inlet valves at cylinder 1.
Check the notes made earlier. Select new tappets if necessary.
NOTE:
Only install two tappets. The tappets should be placed by the same cylinder
Other tappets are available as replacement part / replacement part kits.
The valve clearance on a cold engine (approximately 20 °C) should be:
| Inlet valve:0.20 0.03 mm. |
| Exhaust valve:0.40 0.03 mm. |
NOTE:
The tolerances are less when setting When checking the valve clearance through the plug hole, the tolerances are larger.
Position the intake camshaft. Ensure that the lobes at cylinder 1 point upwards.
Apply a little oil to the cam lobe and the upper side of the tappet to facilitate later measurement.
