Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods: Service and Repair
Valve gear, servicing
Note:
^ Cylinder heads which have cracks between valve seats or between valve seat inserts and the spark plug thread can be used further without reducing service life, provided cracks do not exceed a max. of 0.3 mm in width, or when no more than first 4 turns of spark plug threads are cracked.
^ After installing camshafts, engine must not be started for approximately 30 minutes. Hydraulic valve compensation elements have to settle (otherwise valves will strike pistons).
^ After working on valve gear, turn engine carefully at least 2 rotations to ensure that none of the valves make contact when starter is operated.
^ Always replace gaskets and sealing rings.

Note: Intake and exhaust valves must not be reworked. Only lapping is permitted.
WARNING:
^ Worn exhaust valves with sodium filling must not be scrapped in the usual way.
^ The valves must be cut into two pieces between the shaft center and the valve head using a metal saw. When doing this they must not come into contact with water. Throw a maximum of ten valves prepared in this way into a bucket of water. Then step backward because a sudden chemical reaction occurs during which the sodium filling is burned.
^ Parts treated in this way can be scrapped in the usual manner.
