I just recently purchased and by recently I mean 2 days ago a 1975 242 thats had a motor swap done. The B.A.R label on the door says that in 98 the put a 1982 2.1 motor in it. Im new to the whole turbo thing and all I know is that its turbo ( water cooled), Its a 5 Speed, Its intercooled, and as far as Im concerned its fast. Now that I,ve rambled heres my question The car clacks alot and has alot of valve noise. It lopes at an idle a little so Im assuming it has a cam in it but is vlave noise common in a turbo volvo? I have alot of mechanical experience but none with volvos especially not turbos. Is this motor a solid or hydraulic lifter motor? also I pulled the valve cover off and decided I needed some seriuos help, if they are adjustable how do you do it? Im used to motors with rocker arms. As far as I can tell its stock but I dont know what Im looking at. Please some of you volvo veterans help me out.
