Volvo: 97 Volvo GLT, cylinder head bolts, chevy 350 motors

Question
Ok, thanks. Is that a complicated process? I  grew up working on Chevy 350 motors, and I am alittle gun shy, because everything seems a lot more expensive with fixing a Volovo. Can you walk me through this? Do I need special tools? Thanks

The text above is a follow-up to ...I am having alot of oil coming up out of the top of the motor out of a machined hole near the spark plug wires. Is there some sort of "plug" missing that I could buy? Thank you

Kirt,
Sounds like a rear cam seal is leaking and yes that is replaceable.

Answer
Kirt,
There are some special tools that make the job easier, and lessen the possibilty of cracking the top cam cover. Now there have been people that have done that job minus the tools. Do you feel brave? As you read the procedure you can see just how in depth the job is.
