VW D24t Full Engine Rebuild - Volvo 740 Turbodiesel Restoration 

Never been a step when youre supposted to tightned the head after you got i warm with a steel headgasket.. Om the other hand, with the other gasket, its 40,60,70 someting 90 degree, 90 degree, go to working temp, 90 degree, go 1000km then 90 degree again.. Could be wrong but pretty sure i never seen that the steel gasket never is supposted to be tightned after working temp🤔

Just d24t swapped a 760 here in alberta. got the whole thing installed and then realized it was missing a rod bearing, took the whole engine apart and am in the middle of swapping the crank and connecting rods from one of my parts engines. very rare engines on this continent and glad to see someone else is putting some love into them.

Being an owner of a 740 with the D24T (in a small european country) , brought me to this here channel. Great videos with a great sense of humour. Keep up the good work, Mr. Baked Beans :-)

nice to see the model railroad track getting new uses

Cannot wait for this thing too run

Rebuilding my d24t in my pinzgauer after a front timing belt failure. Big damage. I’ve got a video to add soon looking at what the failure did in a few very short second. The pinzgauer d24s have hydraulic tappets and the front belt has a tention pulley instead of tensioning with the water pump. Great video put out at the best possible time. Thanks from the UK

Be sure to put the clamp over the #1 injection line when you set your timing with the timing light.

Lovely vid as always!! 🤩

Great video, I know exactly what is feels to have a fresh d24t! I have a d24tic that I just did everything too also! And ima build another one this summer 🎉

5:00 in I would say what small residual water or moister would burn off with the heat of the oil, and the metal, it’s going to steam out the crank case when it hits operating temperature. But thank you for the videos! Not many out there! I have a numbers matching 83 I’m the second owner and 188k trying to get it running again! Keep up the great work!

Great video.

really nice for a change seeing peopele care about thes cars in steed of makinging a-traktor of it

great video

Excellent 👏🏻

love this engine

awsome vids

That was intense, great video. Im used to merc om617 engines. I dunno why but this seems way more difficult

very nice

I usually use the peace sign orientation for my ring spacing. Just alternate oil rings to the sides

Nice looking nugget! D24 owner and if you want to keep that head flat a tight consider loosing the viscous clutch cooler and do the electro cooler retrofit. Also a proper oil cooler with thermostat,15 row mounted wherever it fits in front of the rad. And running a whole quart more oil that what states the book will do wonders to lengthen the life. Please use full synthetic oil. 5w40 or if you're going to up the boost run 0w40 but always full synthetic. This engine can do a million kms no problem if you can manage temps properly, cold starts uphill are killers. And pulling trailers on a slope for a long time is another classic killer. The head gasket Will pop. Head studs are great upgrade but an extra 400 bucks. Any how, thanks again and I hope to show my rebuild soon.

as a swede I must say, she's looking mighty fine!

The d24tic in the 940is and late 760is has hydraulic lifters,mine 1992 945 got it

good video! and yes the D24 did get hydraulic lifters in the TIC model if im not incorrect

Use green locktight on the crank bolt! Unless you will snapp off the lock tab on inner sprocket

awesome video 👍, did you add thrust washers at camshaft cap nr. 4? I didn't see you mention them

Amazing video! Great effort and detail! Just in time as I will be putting D24T from Volvo 740 into my VW LT mK1 which have the same engines pretty much. Currently have D24 non turbo, 60 ponies...

Hey! good video! Whats the camshaft tools thickness that you welded the tangs on to?

grazie 1000

hey ! your videos are helping me a LOT as my first diesel engine, ( been building engines +10 gears)(but absolutelly never ever before i have had touchen a Diesel. I had a really bad time figuring out about the timiing and the pump , and i just saw that you have a manual, wich one is ? as i'm keeping this car as my daily i would love to buy so i can read and understand everything from this (for me,at least for now) complicated engine. thanks in advice !!

Do you know the torque settings for the screws holding the gear cover on the inside of the oil pump? I used a regular phillips screwdriver to tighten until "tight." The green book says "install cover" without any additional specs. Wondering if there's a chance that they might back out over time.

you got a talk show radio voice

I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but I genuinely believe you are the funniest RU-vidr out there. I absolutely admire your intelligent and well-crafted sense of humor. Kudos to you! If you ever happen to be in Germany, feel free to reach out - I'll treat you to a beer!

Hi I am rebuilding a d24td from my Vw mk1 lt 4x4 and have found this video extremely helpful with the whole process. I have come up against a big problem with the con rod bolts as the bolts I have are the stretch bolts and I need to replace them but cannot find them anywhere. I was wondering if you know of a replacement bolt or where I could get the original bolts from. Regards Lee

The way the piano in the background held its note during “mental math”

hello, have been enjoying your D24t diesel over haul videos, all well done and informative, as I am getting ready to turbo my D24 natural ,are you able to recommend a aftermarket turbo for my project please? just want a bit more of omff not going crazy thanks

Where is your Donate-Button? And also: What Engine-Oil are YOU putting in that Engine? All the best and cheers from Germany.

Hello can you tell me what front camshaft belt you recommend i can't get genuine volvo in uk there is one for sale in germany ridicules money i sent of for a contitech belt but it was very poor construction so i sent it back im thinking of a gates belt , but need the best one available ,i have ,the genuine idler fully,belt tensioner, i have a SKF water pump, and a INA water pump, not sure which one of these is best tools just need the belts now , your videos are really good keep up the great work , regards jim

I may have a bell housing if I upgrade to my bmw ZF 5 speed

I'm have a few bellhousings now, thinking of getting some more cast if you're interested?

the head gasket is not a 1,6mm gasket it is a 1,4mm for the N/A engine. 1dot=1,4 2dot=1,5 3dot=1,6. greeting from sweden!

Hi! Do you have Anu tips for getting the air out of the fuel lines after installing new fuel lines for the diesel filter and replasing the throttle shaft O-ring. I cant get diesel coming from the fuel lines that go to the injectors when i try starting it

So there will be Volvo 240 rebuild series? :D

a tip for the 1.6 and 1.9s lock cam and pump, and when putting the belt on, ofc pull it tight between the pump and crank, then turn the crank one tooth backward slide the belt on and well every time i have tried. It put the correct tension between the pump and crank. Btw i may be forced to unsubscribe you are not barefoot this time :P

Thanks bro, i purchased non steel head gasket, but also im not polish head, is it great mistake?

I would probably just gap the fuel lines with zip ties if the original gappers is hard to get😅. Also why rebuild the turbo and not just put a bigger one in for the extra ponies? I do believe I have a spare 16T from a 850 T5 if you can make it fit somehow.

Lacquer head knows but one desire

do a b230 rebuild

Zdravo, da li se ovakav motor ugrađivao i u vw lt,

Are you interested in an d24tic intake manifold? I can sell you one. Good video btw!

Dont use the factory tightening spec with mls gasket !!! they are for composite only use the ones that come with the gasket on the paper ! 40nm 60nm then 90 degrees then another 90 degrees it usualy is for mls vw diesels

What is that instruction book called?

I have bellhousing for sale and d24tic intake if you’re interested

HOWDY PARTNER

How old are you bro

Awesome video ! Can you scan the book and post it or send it to me via email i would really appreciate it because im gonna need it for my 940 D24tic engine😅
