This video shows timing alignment front and back of the head with the head actually removed from the motor. This applies to Volvo 850, 960, S70, V70, XC70, C70 built between 1993 and 1999.
It also explained how I drew down the cam cover.

Robert my timjng kn cylinder 1 is advanced 68° my marks look off on cams but belt has not been removed os it possible the intake spun faster the the exhaust and caused my timing to be to far off to start my car?
Will this work on a s80 t6 volvo 1999?
So u dont necessary need those cam locking tools to change dat timing belt, just double check everythang right

I need help with 2005 Volvo xc90 2.9 lt engine need to replace water pump
Once you have the camshafts properly aligned in the back and the cam sprockets aligned in front to the marks on the timing belt cover and you have the camshaft cover secured and the timing belt on, it is a good idea to turn the crank shaft clockwise several times to get the belt to turn the cam shafts for several rotations to make sure that your timing is good. If it is off, eventually the valves and pistons will be out of time, and you won't be able to make complete revolutions of the cam, pistons, and valves. If it all turns smoothly, you know you are good to go. Also, if you have had the engine apart and have reassembled it with assembly lube and have topped off you engine oil and coolant, pull the fuel pump relay and crank the engine over several times to get oil pumped up to the top of the engine before replacing the fuel pump relay and starting up the engine. This "dry" turning over will help lube everything before you start the engine and it starts generating friction and heat.
Hey there Robert. I've sent ya a few questions the last week or so because I've been doing a head gasket install. I'm as shade tree as they come snd feel like I might have got myself in too deep here. Praying you can help. We're in the process of buying a home and cannot make any large purchases so my only choice is fix this thing. Have a 06 v50 t5. I got everything bolted back up and was putting the valve/cam cover back on and the cams are sitting on the cam followers. I know the timing is off. I have the crankshaft holding tool on the way but it is late. Was supposed to arrive today and its after 9pm. I don't know what to do from here to get these caps to even go down where my cams can sit in place and get the cover bolted down. I'm willing to venmo you for time if you could help. My number is 931-401-3410. If you are free but uncomfortable reaching out like that I'm open to any suggestions you have. You seem to really know your stuff on these volvos.
Doing a timing belt and pulley (S) install for family and their original plastic cover with timing marks is toast…I’ll have to cheat and line up the back like you showed. Thank for the tip!
I passed the timing during self-maintenance. I couldn't find the TDC because I loosened the belt and turned around when I was looking for it. Can the engine be on the car?
Hi Robert I'm having trouble with Volvo 850 1993 it died while driving it's getting gas to the fuel rail the timing marks are perfect Honda belt I changed the spark plug spark plug wires so I'm wondering if it could be the coil or something like that
Does it matter if you accidentaly swap the intake and exhaust cams on this engine? Like if you put the exhaust cam where the intake cam should be and the intake cam where the exhaust cam should be….
I have a 97 Volvo 960 2.9l 24 valve. I placed new water pump. Timing tensioner. And few other things for the timing. I placed the crank on the marking. I have set the cams on right. When I put the cover on. But didn't bolt it down way to tight. The left can on turn at all. But the right cam would turn without any problems. I would like to ask u a question. Why the left cam won't turn freely? Sorry for asking. I watched ur videos. And I use ur advice.
Hey Robert, I pulled my crank pulley off and cranked the motor without my timing belt on I have my cam gears lined up but how can i line up my crank from scratch?
Hi again Robert ! Does this video work for my S60r 2006? Need to change the head gasket
Hi Robert and thanks for informative video which scared me a little bit. I have Volvo 2004 V40 and the timing belt got contaminated with oil and got loose and both cams jumped on certain position. I took the chance and replaced the timing belt with it's kits after watching your other video and thank God no interference engine and no bent valves. The car started fine but I am having problem installing the old serpentine belt although I followed the routing diagram and tried all possible configuration . Any hint before I buy new drive belt other than the belt got shorting due to cold weather. Thanks
