        It will be a while. My 1.5 yo is becoming a big sister on Friday; hence the "plug and play" nature of this car for the time being. 

        But while I still have some free time: removed the rockers and loaded up the head and flywheel to drop off for surfacing tomorrow. I was going to have new stem seals put in, but what was a $200 job at the shop went to $300 plus extra if I wanted them to touch the valve seats. So, valve stem seals look good. I don't see any  build up on the stems indicating that they are leaking badly, so I am leaving it as is and just getting it decked for the new head gasket.

              My wife has an 06 XC90. We really like ours as well. Great for trips and will be great for hauling kids and their stuff everywhere. 

              And I am in Cedarburg.

                What two sensors do these plugs go to? They are the two that wrap around the front of the engine. One appears to be an rpm/timing sensor but the other was missing (as in it looks like it broke off or was cut off on the other side of the engine). Thinking maybe the AC compressor since this had an AC delete at some point. .

                20180610202056.jpg

                One is for the crank position and the other is for the pulse sensor on the spark plugs wires

                  All cleaned up. Going to spray it down with some brake cleaner and then paint it. Head is being resurfaced now, so once I have that I can start reassembling.

                      Engine cleanup is satisfying. 

                      I was watching these two  Black-Headed Grosbeaks (Pheucticus melanocephalus) the other day splashing about in a bird bath and I thought to myself how neat it would be if an engine could do the same thing!!!

                        I was going to wheel it into my driveway to power wash it. Good thing I didn't because my driveway would have been ruined.

                          you need another car project so we can stop muddling through bird watching references.

                            Block is painted. The head amid flywheel is ready to be picked up. Have a box of brackets off for cleaning and powdercoat. Need to order a couple gasket kits and then it can all go back together.

                              Just some more cleaning. Old steering rack out and deteriorated firewall insulation removed. Working on cleaning the oil pan now which is caked in oil from years of leaks.

                                Now to order a gasket set and I can start reassembling! So excited.

                                  Quick question:

                                  Can I run the m50 injectors without a chip? I kniw they're a recommended upgrade from the m20 injectors.

                                    Yep, the M50 injectors are 17.5# @ 3.5 bar and close to the stock M20 14.5# at the M20 fuel pressure (3.0 bar)

                                        So looking around at injectors I am seeing green tops and blue tops from the M50. Do you know which one I want? 

                                        Edit: maybe there aren't two different colors, and the light blue I'm seeing is a faded green? I

                                          They are a light blue/green color. Similar color to the M20 injectors but not identical
