structure plate gasket, just did my 1st one and I had about 35hours in it, it was in a prostar. so that included removing bumper, hood, radiator assembly, all front cover components, and retiming the front gear train, vac/recharge a/c. its pretty labor intensive.

I just did one in 9200 about 20 hours I leave radiator in place,I belive you can on a Volvo to as long as not pulling the cams can get in the way but if you can save a few hours then why not

I've lucked out. It was leaking from base of oil dipstick tube. So 100 bucks later I got new ( and improved) dipstick tube, but I'll have to get the other leak fixed soon. So I wander what else can I get done when the cover is off. I'm thinking fan hub for sure. Any other suggestions? thing got 900k on it.
