Installed in high-pressure hydraulic applications and can certainly be used in WhenĬompressed, they create an ultra-tight high-pressure seal. Structural metal ring and an interference fit rubber seal. Then a few years ago I discovered METAL-BONDED SEALING WASHERS.īonded seal washers have a two-part construction consisting of a Over-tightening that drain plug, resulting in damaged or stripped threads. I can't count the number of times I've heard about someone Do YOU put a brand new one when YOU change your oil? I don't. The 240 oil pan drain plug uses a brass crush washer too. This seemed to work better in some circumstances. Over the years I have also tried softer aluminum crush washers. This often results in the temptation to over-tighten a fitting, which of course can have a bad result all by itself. ![]() Sometimesįlat-sanding a washer would renew the surface, but even a brand new crush washer can leak. Systems and of course on the oil pan drain plug.īeing a cheap 240 owner, I would often try re-using these Volvo used these on oil lines, power steering racks, on fuel The factory washers, often called crush washers, where madeįrom brass and were designed to be used one time only. Shared my frustration with making them seal well after changing If you have owned a Volvo that uses BANJO FITTINGS, you might have This video is specific to the later 240 with B230F.īANJO (CRUSH) WASHERS versus BONDED SEAL WASHERS Here are some more images below you might find useful.Īnd if you need a good video on replacing your timing belt, iPd made one. So if you see it wrong like that in a manual or on-line page, don't use it! ![]() The last thing you need is WRONG INFO (shown below), which I have seen in a number of technical manuals and in many online images. Good to have some useful reference info to keep from making mistakes. ![]() Is not an ultra-challenging task, but if you're not experienced, it's Installing a new timing belt on your B21, B23 or B230 In addition to the above vent window project, I also made new C-pillar panels. In 2022 I completed the installation of power vent window actuators for my 242 rear vent windows. Keep that in mind if clearance becomes tight. The Dorman threaded block has slightly different dimensions, so This isn't really a problem, but just something to check when assembling.Īlso available. The new threaded block will reduce clearance between the pulley and the bolt. You may find that you'll need to drill out the top hole in your bracket for that fatter long bolt. Here's the Mitsubishi tensioner installed in my 240. This can usually be found on-line new or used by searching: "Mitsubishi alternator tensioning bolt." I bought this adjuster block with bolts above made for a Mitsubishi (2000-2005 Eclipse or 1999-2003 Galant). So I began looking for a solution that would have a larger, stronger bolt. A skinny, weak bolt has no business being in that place. The problem in my opinion is not the locking nut being tight or not tight. I also know that 240s can vibrate things loose. I was accused of not properly tightening the locking nut. ![]() After it broke I thought I was smart, so I ordered a new bolt with higher tensile strength. That bolt above is not supposed to be broken. This is the belt tensioner adjuster on my 240 power steering pump. In this page I have outlined some cool mods I haveĭone to my 240s and others that have been provided Nothing I like better than modifying them for
