I can give you the general steps on how to adjust the cam timing on a 2008 Volvo S60 with double VVT and address engine rattles.
1) Prepare the Tools - You will need a set of basic hand tools, a timing belt kit (if necessary), a timing belt tensioner tool (specific to your Volvo), and a service manual or repair guide for your specific vehicle model.
2) Refer to Service Manual - Obtain the service manual or repair guide for your Volvo S60, as it will provide detailed instructions and diagrams specific to your engine. It will guide you through the process and help you locate the timing accurately.
3) Align Timing Marks - Identify the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft(s) gears. Typically, there will be alignment marks or indicators on these gears that need to be positioned correctly. Rotate the engine to bring these marks into alignment.
4) Verify the Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the specific cylinder you are working on. This ensures proper valve timing.
5) Adjust Cam Timing - If the timing marks are not aligned correctly or the engine rattles, you may need to adjust the cam timing. This is done by loosening the camshaft(s) gear bolts and adjusting the position slightly to achieve proper alignment.
6) Inspect the timing belt tensioner for wear or damage. If necessary, replace the tensioner with the timing belt. Use the appropriate tensioner tool to properly tension the belt according to the manufacturer's specifications.
7) Reassemble any components that were removed during the process after the timing has been properly set and the timing belt and tensioner (if applicable) have been installed. Start the engine and listen for any unusual sounds or rattles. If the rattling continues, more diagnosis may be required to determine the cause of the noise.
It's important to note that cam timing adjustments can be complex and require precision. If you are not familiar with these procedures or lack the necessary experience, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or Volvo specialist to ensure the job is done correctly.
