Valve gear, servicing

Note:
^ Cylinder heads which have cracks between the valve seats or between valve seat inserts and the spark plug thread can be used further without reducing service life, provided the cracks do not exceed a maximum of 0.3 mm in width, or when no more than the first four spark plug threads are cracked.
^ After installing new hydraulic lifters, the engine must not be started for approximately 30 minutes (otherwise valves will strike pistons), then turn crankshaft two rotations.

Wear limit: max. 0.2 mm





Fig. 3 Valve dimensions





Note: Valves must not be reworked. Only lapping-in is permitted.

Note: Care must be taken when disposing of old sodium filled valves. They must be cut through in the center of the stem with a hacksaw. When doing this they must be perfectly dry. The valves prepared in this way can then be thrown into a bucket of water a maximum of ten at a time. When doing this step back quickly because a sudden chemical reaction causes the sodium filling to burn. After this treatment, the valves can be put in with the normal scrap.





Fig. 4 Sealing transition points between double bearing cap and cylinder head
- Carefully apply a thin coat of sealant D 454 300 A2 to both edges of sealing surfaces between double bearing cap and cylinder head -arrows- using a small screwdriver.





Fig. 5 Sealing transition points between chain tensioner/cylinder head
- Carefully apply a thin coat of sealant "D 454 300 A2" to both edges of sealing surfaces between camshaft adjuster and cylinder head -arrows using a small screwdriver.
