Can we place bets on how long until this gets 24v swapped?

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.

Nice progress! I'll think you'll find a lot of Volvo love here, my wife has a '12 XC90 and we love it! Maybe I missed it but where are you located?

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

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.

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)

Perfect. Thank you!

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
