Hey guys, i've got a problem with my impeller pulling water in. I have the AQ170C/B, impeller 831182.
I know that it's the impeller/intake related because i tried to bypass the outdrive by connecting a tube to the intake hose and putting it in a bucket of water. The impeller does not create...
Hey guys,
Starting off boating season, :D
I'm trying to get my temp gauge working. Quick question is this the temp sensor?
I'm planning on replacing it with kemparts tw67 sensor, it's for the auto version of this motor, 1973 Volvo 164 w/B30.

Hey guys, so i recently replaced my head and manifold gasket, i then installed the rocker bar incorrectly and bent two pushrods. I have replaced them and reinstalled everything correct. I also installed a new t-stat. Today i started the motor, it started well and ran well. But after a couple of...
Hey guys. So i just bent my pushrods, that's what i get for doing something quick.
I found b30 fuel injected motor around town, yes they did make those to my surprise, 1973 to 1976(roughly) Volvo 164E.
Question is, can i take my current carbed B30 motor and transform it into EFI using a donor...
Hey guys.
I replaced the head gasket and manifold gasket. Now the motor does not want to start, it turns over but doesn't start. When i increase throttle(to almost full), it seems like it almost starts but just doesn't quite get there. I do have fuel coming in. I'm not sure if there is spark...
Hey guys. Last week i took off the exhaust manifold and noticed a decent size hole on the bottom, check the pics. I took it to a welder guy last week and he said he could fix it for about 150. Well i call the guy today and now it will be another week (he's out of town for couple days) and about...
Hey guys. So a week ago i found water in oil. Took apart the head and found a head gasket with several cracks and some holes. Seems to be original, '76.
I took the head off cleaned it, took out some rust from the water channels, cleaned where the thermostat is with fire jelly, to remove some of...
Quick question for you guys. What is the part number for the impeller for '76 AQ170C b30 motor?

Re: '76 Volvo penta AQ170C Leaking oil. Picture HELP!
Thanks sq. Took it out, tried to pressure test with my mouth, doesn't seem to have any big holes. I'm going to a radiator shop tomorrow see if he can pressure test it and hopefully fix the leak.
The orings seem to be in decent shape, so...
Re: '76 Volvo penta AQ170C Leaking oil. Picture HELP!
Got the cooler out. It doesn't seem to be corroded, look at the pics. I tried to run some water through and there seems to be a tiny drip that comes out through one of the water channels. There are already two channels sealed up. It seems...

Re: '76 Volvo penta AQ170C Leaking oil. Picture HELP!
So i took off the end cap and found the insert. Except i cannot take the insert out, it doesn't seem it can be taken out easy. The farther endcap doesn't come off after i take out the screw. I can't take the oil filter off because some dude...
Hey guys, after getting a new starter i started the motor turns over good, runs for couple seconds then dies, i think fuel, but not the main problem.
I think the oil pump is leaking or something. Look in the pic, oil is running from the cylinder under the fuel pump right where the metal hose...
Hey guys quick question for you. I just pulled the started on the volvo AQ170c straight six, the starter was missing the ignition terminal, probably broke off or something weird.
The starter itself is rusty but looks like it did work recently because of the markings on the gear. The motor gear...
Hey guys, just got another boat :rolleyes:
It's a 19' Arrow Glass Tigre, with volvo penta aq170 B30 motor and Penta 280 outdrive. Could someone tell me where i can find a manual for such boat/motor. I found some info on the outdrive but not much info on the motor. Has anyone seen service manual...
