are you setting the timing belt or just setting the timing with a light ? if you are setting the timing it should be set at about 10 before top dead center or maybe would run a little better at 12 or so thanks jerry holler if you have more .

The pistons are hitting the valves. The Cams are out of time somehow

if you know the firing order of the engine and also the position of the no.1 cylinder you are off to a good start.
Remove the plug on the no.1 cylinder and turn the engine until the piston starts coming up on compression stroke, you can fing out if it is on compression stroke by placing your finger or thumb over the spark plug hole, you will feel the pressure under your thumb or finger as the piston starts to come up the bore.
when you can feel that pressure you can remove your thumb etc and stick a medium size screwdriver into the hole making sure you hold it from falling into the cylinder, rest the end of the driver on top of the piston and turn the engine slowly by hand only, (not by the starter) until the piston has come up to the top of the cylinder, now have a look at the harmonic balancer on the end of the crankshaft, there should be markings on it and one marking will have a "0" with TDC above it, line that mark up with the pointer and that will be top dead center
Testimonial: "Very educational for me, so I am learning, but I do not know what is harmonic blalancer since I could not find that in volvo's manual; also there is a steel spring near the tensioner need to compressed to insert a pin don't know how to do that does it take a special tool?"

the best way to do it is to remove no 1 spark plug and get the eng on tdc of the compression stroke and one of the marks will line up.hope this helps.good luck.
