Valve mechanism Volvo B280

Blue smoke at cold start and an oil haze that fades once the engine has warmed up can point to hardened valve seals letting oil slip past along the valve stems – a common check point on the B280 V6 in the Volvo 760 and 780. This category gathers parts for the valve mechanism on the B280 engine specifically, so the right components end up on the right side of the V-block.

The group includes camshafts and valve seals. Worn cam lobes and uneven valve clearance are among the things to check when you have sluggish running or noise from the valve covers, while the seals are a natural replacement in connection with a top-end rebuild. Since the B280 is a V6 with separate cylinder banks, it is worth checking fitment against engine code and bank before ordering parts.
