i thought valve frendly was plain enough ????
do they have valve contact if the belt breaks (if you can't understand the above term)

I think that engines where the valves are OK of the OC belt breaks are called 'non interference'

You might have to use terms like this to avoid the 'wrath of chow'

Never mind, if he gives you any more trouble just ask him what the next 'classic volvo' that he will be adding to his 'stable' will be.

Thats it, Im retreating to a safe distance at this point!

can also be known as "valve frendly according to mr haynes manual"
thought it was quite understandable !
o well never mind got there in the end !

back to the pinto bit...
the belt from a ohc sierra/cortina/capri/granada 2.0 pinto WILL fit a volvo ohc engine but is either 1 tooth to many or 1 to less, i cant remember which off hand
thanks for your help !

tbh if the belts a tooth to long or a tooth to short then it doesnt fit, perhaps this explains why as you stated in your first post "you dont seem to have much luck with these engines" ........just a thought
