    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    Thank you all, seems differing opinions here… my motor is standard, 5.7 (not the 4.3 mentioned above) any idea what the torque setting is ? I cannot locate a manual here or online. Fortunately I have found torque settings for the heads and manifold. How critical is this procedure being 100% and...

    Thanks, my next worry is resetting the rockers, any tips there ? The brass fitting on the riser is a pain, cant turn it with the rocker cover on so I need to have it sorted before I try to run the motor or I'm on and off with the riser to access rockers :-( PS have ordered new head bolts. It's a...

    Thanks for that advice. I have ordered fel pro set. Was yours a blown head gasket ? I’m hoping that’s my problem rather than piston hole 😲

    Oh, I thought there was two gaskets and then rtv on the front and back of block walks ? I have ordered the gasket set. So having left distributor in would prevent intake manifold coming off ? Thanks

    Also, can throttle body be left on while doing this or do those bolts also hold main intake on ?

    Hi again guys, so I hi guys… so I’m running but not good under load. Trying to take head off to inspect gasket but cannot seem to get intake manifold off, reluctant to hammer it or poke screwdriver between manifold and block. Have taken the 8 bolts out, thermostat housing etc off but seems...

    Yes, used OEM risers manifolds and gaskets and did by the book with torque etc. got 12 yrs off last set And relatively mint when I pulled them, the neutrasalt flush must work ok. It’s our summer now so will do as you suggest. Is there much point in adding an engine flush or similar product to...

    If a head gasket would I not get steam from exhaust when running on a cradle or is it not like a car given water cooled exhaust ? You don’t think a stuck valve maybe ? Def no smoke from exhaust on start or when running. Seems to be running about 95% right I feel

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    well guys, thought I'd buy a new distributor to rule it out, the other I tried was second hand but supposed to be ok. fired up first pop and running ok it seems, didnt go out on the water this evening. I'll have to investigate the low compression I guess but I'm a bit happier today. Thank you...

    would that guide being stuck affect compression readings ? trying to understand why 3 and 5 are low, could be as AD suggested and a head gasket however pressure came up a bit when I put oil in, but I probably put too much oil in ie a tablespoon in each cylinder.

    and the "jumped tooth" timing scenario AD what do you think ?

    PS, the Volvo techs here want to pull the motor to do these tests which seems a major thing to do to test this stuff. $4000.00 !!

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    Thanks guys, back into it today after a break. Would the low compression, if stuck valve, cause the MAP or other sensors to prevent ( protect ) the motor starting. Also, is it at all possible timing is out given I had it running fine a short time ago and I havent removed the distributor ? I...

    Do you think I should just pull the head off and inspect…. Feel like nothing to lose now

    2006 Volvo 5.7 osi-d crank no start

    Ok thanks. How do I perform a leak down test ? Can’t see valves by taking rocker cover off I guess ? Manifolds with risers on we’re incredibly heavy and hard to get on I recall. I’d need new gaskets for manifolds ? What would I be looking for when looking at the valves with manifold off ?

    Raw water cooled in sat water. Risers and manifolds replaced about two years ago, originals were pretty mint. I use a salt away rinse system. 600 hours but many of those probably low rpm idling and on the long 12 kt harbour speed restrictive zone.

    Thought I should check compression …. 50 on 3 and 5 and between 150- 160 on the rest …. Is it game over ? 🤔😕

    Also, what’s the likelihood of timing being out of it was running ok recently ? Could I have moved dizzy changing cap etc ? Thanks again !

    Can I just try turning props in neutral? I have no idea about pulling the drive off the transom and nothing to rest it on if I could
