Probably my favorite engine to swap a car with is something original or unique than a 2jz or rb26 and Chevrolet’s ls
I look forward to seeing you build the exhaust headers. That is a tight fit my friend!
How did the block break along the crank journal like that? It almost looks like it was dropped on the concrete...
Oh! Of the course the car was crashed and the block was broken as a result!
Funny you say that the weather is bad, when there is NO snow😂!! I f......g hate the snow!!
How warm was that handle after that weld job?
PeterBjorck Nice dude👍! Professional stuff!! Awesome garage by the way!!
Not hot at all. Watercooled.
damn i love Swedish accent
Do you preheat block before welding?
Var köpte du R-broms kopiorna? Kollade på såna fast jag tror det var "äkta" till en egen gammel Volvo men de vart så fruktansvärt dyrt 😅
Holy shit that block was fucked
When you are welding,the subtitles write "[music]"👍
In my next life I am going to be a Swedish engineer.
How long do you think it'll take for the next update on the Volvo?
What is the insert kit called he uses?
how about we drop a scania big turbo and gogogo
So exciting. I undertood nearly nothing, but still
Hey it's been three month's since this video came out. Any new updates on the block?
If you finished this project, you will have the best Volvo engine swap ever.
Updates pleaseeee. I would love to see every step of this build 👍🏻
Is it legal on road?(You know,East Asian law.)
you' creative . i absolutely love it . love the way how you can fix that block . some people will leave it and get new one
needs more stick weld
Very impressive a master engineer...thank you for sharing
Tagit bort bromsoken från försäljning?
Ja jag tog faktiskt bort dem igår då ingen har köpt dem och det egentligen inte hör till vårat sortiment.
Search ford v12
Aftermarket Volvo front brakes! wow
German solutions for Italian problems
Aluminum is wonder metal,
Good work Peter, well done!
That looks crazy
interesting
Såna här klipp gör mig stolt att vara Svensk.
Not that I'm claiming to be an expert machinist, however, i'm pretty sure that the integrity of that block has been irreversibly compromised. there will always be micro fractures/cracks that with heat and cold cycles are bound to expand, and result in another catastrophic failure, in a relatively short time-frame. Hats off, though, for being so industrious and inventive. best of luck.
He's a aircraft engineer I think he knows.
I feel inadequate when I watch someone do this kind of work but it does inspire me to do little things well.
Man, i can't tell ya how much skill you need to weld a cracked engine block. It is not something you come across to often because most engines aint worth it. You got some skills brother...absolute respect and peace to you.
That's one hell of a sleeper.
Very nice!
You do alot of cool shit. I would live in that shop, heh.
just a tip of tig welding don't take the filler out of the argon shielding gas your interdicted contaminants to the weld when the filler is meted you get O2 and this is vary bad weld in time to see if the weld job holds up ???? WOw I see all the junk in the puddle that is not good
What welding filler rod are you using?
This is a lot more involved than the lamborghini v10 block I welded up. This one was just crashed and smashed the water jacket on the firewall. I was welding it up and was wondering how thick the water jacket was around the part I was welding. I looked at an cutaway view of the engine and it turns out I was welding directly on the cylinder. These 5.2 blocks are not sleeved with iron, so when you weld in this area you are welding on the actual alloy cylinder wall. Everything turned out ok and that car is still on the road :) imgur.com/a/9l955lY Well done! Cant' wait to see this volvo shredding!
"I'm feeling a bit nervous about this one." 😁 Classic understatement.
hey this is cool man (and kul)... have you got a website or email address?
Haha that's going to be a big money disaster waiting to blow!
Junk
Kul projekt :D
I can’t wait to move to Sweden from Dubai😀 Lamborghini engines in Volvo’s. Very good video I’m a new subscriber
Peter what is your opinion now re major weld repairs ie full depth on a block? I thought your idea to install and clamp an axle or cylinder was reasonable but the forces involved in thermal expansion are off the scale.
You better get that thing blue print bored when your done
Thank you peter very interesting
Längtar tills den blir klar
Designflaw.
IF, I was going to try welding that, I would have made sure the crankshaft and some old bearings were in there. But I would never try that repair. I am cheering for you to get it to work. That is a ballsy repair.
Any idea why the pieces broke away?
Inte Lambolovo då?

No lube while you're tapping holes?
Akai nunyabiznes look again
More videos pls! Keep up the good work too :) !
Insane this is fun to watch!
Can that repair ever be completely trusted? After welding it's still weaker than the rest of the block because the weld doesn't penetrate through the entire thickness. I'd also be wondering if the position of the repair is accurate enough to be within tolerance for the rotating parts with radial alignment.
you know that thing will snap if you hit anything more than 4k revs right? xD
What's happened with this block? How did this happen it's cracked. Never seen before block cracked on the clutch side...
Doing this to a Volvo is: crazy, brilliant, fascinating, shocking and mind-bending. :)
Subbed ..this looks really cool
I know that if I took that block to any machine shop in America. they would have laughed at me and said it's ruined. I love that it was fixable. Everything is fixable if you know what you're doing.
Yes the machine shop here also said it was ruined. I thought so too. But why not test to weld :) would never do that for a lamborghini.. but for the Volvo :)
It's can't Work without Heating bevor and after Welding too 200 C. You get Micro Cracks when the Block is going to his working Temperature....
Kommer du köra M46 med modifierad sprängkåpa sen eller vad blir det för låda?
Kolla en tidigare video där jag bygger låda till den.
Camera is out of focus
You going to stop a lambo powered volvo with 'ASS' brakes ? :D
seeing a lot of Lamborghini engineering failures...
I really hope you have preheated the block and let it cool down slowly.
The vloghini😉😁
It looks to me like you will have significantly raised the centerline of your crankshaft after you have align bored the mains. This will cause the timing between crank and the cams to be changed as well as the the deck height of the pistons at TDC. This will of course raise the compression ratio and possibly cause interference issues with the valves. You may also experience front and rear main seal leakage issues. Also you have ruined the heat treat of the block where you welded it. Also, if the surface of the block that the main bearing girdle bolts to is not flat and/or does make complete contact with the bearing girdle (you mentioned that you did not build the surface up enough when welding it), it will twist the girdle and cause binding of the crankshaft and failure of the main bearings. Depending on what you are paying for your cnc time/parts/etc , this may not be a very cost effective project.
@PeterBjorck I am not aware of the exact heat treatment process I would ask a firm that is experienced in aluminum engine block repair what the options were. As far as the cam/crank timing it is good that it is adjustable, although adjusting this on a four cam engine will certainly be a big job. I think my greatest concern would be the change in the piston deck height at top dead center as it relates to valve-to-piston clearance. What is the maximum amount of material that can be be removed from the block deck and or head for reconditioning ? That amount should give you an idea of how much room you will have before you run into problems. For many contemporary engines this limit is very, very small.
How much is that significantly? The camgear is not fixed to the camshafts. So even if i would move the crankshaft a lot, timing and valves would not be a problem with this engine. What kind of heat treatment do these Alusil blocks have? The surface was just not up on a very small spot. Will not twist the girdle :)
There is a company in Sweden called ass apparently
Nice... Following
Thanks youtube
Sensational 240, Turbo Yoda would love this. Look him up, a mad Aussie in the Skid Factory. Look forward to seeing if the welds hold up. You're a Champ !
Guessing that the crashing into the wall comment was how it was broken to begin with, but you didn't pre-heat the block or anything for prep, so I'm a little confused there...
Damn, I just recently thought "If Volvos have Inline 5 cylinder variants how hard can it be to fit a V10 in there?" and along comes this. Very Nice, Curious to see how this goes :D
Great video. Thanks for bringing us along
2:19 What R Those!!
How has nobody else shown welding like that on video? Unbelievable!
warming up the parts your welding (especially on cast metals) helps to prevent uneven warping
There's no way that's going to hold up...
This guy is a master
Genuinely looking forward to seeing the Volvoghini project completed more than my own project car!
Mad project
So lambo engine block broke that badly? Insane how expensive they are but cheap designs. Guess he is making it better
How are there so many cracks in an engine. Nice welding.
Very Good Work...Im worried about the Bearing web weld.... So Much stress when that crank is spinning.... ANY Flaw will destroy the engine. Here in America Ive seen a few v8 240 swaps.... Very fast cars.
absolut perfect ! 👍best regards from österreich 👍
A word to anyone advertising on nazitube i will never do business with anyone of you for doing business with this very un-American company
Would like to visit Sweden, used to use Ericsson , now drives Volvo ,wear H&M, have Electrolux appliance, sadly we don’t have IKEA in South Africa....
Sounds weird to me and hurts my ears. I've always welded with earplugs in. 😆 But seriously longterm as a profession it pays off to protect it. My father is practically deaf now. I'm 4th generation but doesn't look like there will be a 5th however. Only machine shop around that accepts repair work and still retains a few manual machines but I don't know if that's going to be the case 15-20 years from now.
Those caliper adapters are ASS!
You got to watch pulling your filler wire so far out of the gas shield. It collects oxides and puts specks into the weld. Looks good!
The basic design of the “Bembro” brake calipers looked very much like the old style Delco-Moraine calipers that were C2/C3 Chevrolet Corvettes
Question: Why did it crack in the first place? & what is preventing this from happening again?
This is awesome
Peter your work is amazing, can you do a video of that special subaru, I love 3 doors subarus !
Outstanding work, shop and editing.
