Depends on the motor. According to the Engish Haynes manual. B21 and B23 will not, B230 will.
Yes...Well it is an interference engine, not zero clearance. Which means when the timing belt breaks the pistons with "interfere" with the valves.
Not mine , I was doing about 70 when my belt broke . It took me 4 hours and $20 to know for sure boy how aggravating not knowing if my valves were bent or not. The good news is that my volvo with 345,000 miles fired right up when all work was complete. 24mpg and no payments.The above answer may be true for that owner but I do not see how it is possible. The 1986 Volvo 740 GLE 4 cylinder is an interference engine and as such if the cam belt breaks you will almost certainly have internal engine damage. The belt should be changed every 50,000 miles.
There is no timing belt in that engine. It has a timing chain.
As all Acura Legends 1986-1995 equipped with a cam belt are interference engines if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage. Neglect this service and you will pay dearly.
No, No, and YES...!No, not changing the timing belt doesn't effect performance or fuel economy of your car.No, if it's not changed and if your Volvo engine is the single overhead cam type, it is a non-interference type engine and if you don't replace it then when the belt breaks, you'll be left by the side of the road, it's not really a roadside repair at several hours to replace....However being a non-interference engine it won't damage your engine when it does break.Where it is a YES....If it's a dual overhead cam engine (like the 4 cylinder 16 valve) it is an interference engine. If you don't replace it at the recommended interval or risk not only ending up by the side of the road, when it does break you'll end up with an empty wallet to repair it.
To set the timing on a 1986 Mercury Cougar with a 3.8L engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Locate the timing mark on the harmonic balancer and the timing tab on the engine. Use a timing light to check the timing; connect it to the battery and the number one spark plug wire. Adjust the distributor as needed to align the timing mark with the specified timing degree on the timing tab, usually around 10 degrees BTDC for this engine.
If your Volvo is an automatic transmission try changing the fuel filter.
If you have plug wires, you can use an inductive timing light. Instructions will be included.
To set the timing on a 1986 Honda Goldwing, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover, and use a timing light connected to the number one cylinder. Start the engine and aim the timing light at the marks; adjust the ignition timing by loosening the distributor bolt and rotating the distributor until the timing mark aligns with the specified setting. Finally, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains correct.

To adjust the timing on a 1986 Jeep CJ7 with a 258 CI straight six-cylinder engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature. Next, locate the timing mark on the harmonic balancer and the timing tab on the engine. Use a timing light connected to the number one cylinder spark plug wire to check the timing; adjust it by loosening the distributor hold-down bolt and rotating the distributor until the desired timing mark aligns with the tab. Finally, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains in the correct position.
