Summary: Valve jobs

...
	I take it that you have a V-6cyl. Volvo engine.
I have been told NOT to perform a valve job on a car such age.
The new valve settings will introduce new forces on the cam shafts
causing breakge of the shaft soon afterwards. Replacing the shafts
is a bitch in these crowded engine compartments. Either you take the
whole engine out, or you drill a large hole through the fire wall
so that the right camshaft can be extracted through there.

This is all second hand info, I have not done this myself. But those
who have say it is a big bitch, and a shop charges alot for it.
So I suggest to see what other netters have to say about this issue.
