just above the starter!

I don't think the lift pump is you issue ! A sticking rack is more due to scored plungers etc. Is your fuel pump AMBAC or Bosch !

New fuel transfer pump required maybe! these have been known to fail! As with everything Volvo IT AINT CHEAP!

I made this here 237 comment earlier with out thinking ! The steering box on the B model May interfere with the oil filters some one else here may have a comment or have done a transplant that may enlighten us! I have seen a 285 trans planted in a B but don't know how extensive the alterations were! Obviously lots knowing how a tip turbine was used!

Till you got it pulled down you don't know till you have it pulled down! That said if you can find a good runner 237 It should fit in there! with the added bonus of spin on oil filters etc.! It is after all a toy!

Knowing this is a toy! Also knowing how hard a B model is to work on! I wouldn't want to be doing the job twice! My opinion is to up root all 6 ! Clean up the pistons and access Put new rings on the good pistons replace the worst pistons! Hone the liners out just a clean up passes get them reasonable! ,put bearings if necessary , pull the valves inspect and clean them up ! Reassemble! No point in making a silk purse out of a sow's ear! and blowing a big bag of money unless your the power ball lottery winner! Just sayin!

Bro I am not a Guru at this stuff Observations only ! However Yes it can How ever ! check the afor mentioned first before changing parts ! Clean the venturi tube and sensor If you haven't already ! if you got PTT do a egr valve test while the hose is off the egr cooler to confirm its operating and the cooler is not clogged! Turbos aren't cheap ! If the dif sensor cant sense flow the puter thinks it needs to open the EGR valve!

Good on you for posting the fix! This may help others with their on going issues with this over complicated junk!

check the PAI site!

285 HP!! If its a 350 its econodyne! To establish if its 350 there will be coolant hoses to the after cooler it will be half / half coolant cooled! A 285 is strictly Air to Air cooled charge air! I beleive !

😅 yup just pop that out would you joe!😅

Bro thats where you come in ! I f the top pad on the other boxes is loose and flopping about as described earlier It it needs all 4 corners not just one! you need to point that out! that said if the T leaf is not been hitting the box for and aft its still OK to drive just Should to have the block changed!

Yup this safety feature proudly presented by Volvo to preserve the starter for after the injector cup jobs!😂

yup seen them break!

Unfortunately there is know middle ground in both our country's ! Opposition is one thing! Finding shit that both can agree on is another! < ----------------0------------------>

Joey ! When you up root that liner check the outside of it for size markings ! They offered P numbers on these ! Glenn correct me if I'm wrong But OVERSIZED liners weren't uncommon can't remember the sizes 2 thou increments I believe ! I have installed up to 10 thou over before! pain in the ass honed for ever!

Yup If it's just a toy Why piss away a big bag of cash on a rebuild! In my mind, open it up and see what's there pulling liners on this old stuff can be a nightmare I have had it where the whole weight of the truck was on a jack and a plate before the liner would move back when we had nothing! We had a porta power at work to do this job ! Just saying ! Let's see what you got bro! as Joe mentioned welding the liner can shrink it however myself I would opt for a quick hone and new rings at most! if the liners are not scored up! Just stuff to think on!

Please do!

Yup should be a free designer set of boxers !

Wow never run across this! Anything can happen I guess! like I said earlier you dam lucky it wasn't a front box may have been a whole diffrent out come! Just sayin!

No ! I suspect the bolt broke my self As I stated! That said! Its an opinion! When redoing the load cushions We Always the REPLACED THE BOLTS! unless instructed by the customer not to! Lot of weight hanging off of them bolts at times! Imagine if it were the front one let go WTF ,Excitement X4 New Underwear Required !

Buddy you need to see the eye doctor!😂 That looks like it was basically a clean break ! I NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE Break like That ! looks like the coarse bolt let go that threads into the housing and stressed the rest! I wouldn't jump to the blame game on this other than the buffalo pads needed replacing! The T leaves hitting the box heavy usually the indicator! that said as indicated the welding is a possibility of a crack welding! !

We do our best! Something to note when installing studs its recommended you bottom the bottom the stud and back it out a half turn ! not sure why the fine thread on the top does a better job of holding the heads down than any type of coarse thread! in my mind That said the 866 engine was a fine thread bolt if I remember correctly and they had issues with head gasket leaks! So who knows I could be misguided in my thoughts here! This maybe the reason Mack when to Coase thread in more current engines I don't know!? Been that way ever since! that may be the reason for the aforementioned instruction! So it won't hurt to heed that mention! Something else check them injectors you pulled and make sure the washers are stuck to them if Not Go Searching! just sayin!😅

YUP! This a good point brought up by Mcpaul ! The liners are dri fit and usually tight but under the current circumstances best be safe! Get some heavy over sized flat washers remove a stud each side of the liner apposing each other closest to the liner and replace with short bolts! two per cyl

Don’t no how many times I heard that story always wanted to try it never had the ball’s!
