Volvo 360 Renix Flywheel Installation

When the engine's cylinder 1 is at top dead center (TDC), the two alignment pins on the block side of the flywheel must point directly toward the starter motor opening, which is on the exhaust manifold side.

Although both use the Renix system, the flywheel 'slots' (toothless section on the ring) are located at different angles relative to crankshaft mounting: Volvo 360 (B200): The slots are positioned at a different angle relative to crankshaft attachment than on the 700 Series. Volvo 740: The Renix drive ring or flywheel is not directly interchangeable with the 360 Series without risk of installation error.

Yes, the same principle and alignment pin location relative to the starter opening can be applied as appropriate to other flywheels equipped with a Renix ring.

1. Rotate the engine to cylinder 1 top dead center. 2. Check the two pins on the flywheel rear. 3. Position the flywheel so these protrusions align with the starter opening. 4. Verify that the Renix ring slots align correctly with the crankshaft sensor.
