Valve dimensions

Note: Valves must not be refaced. Only lapping is permitted.

Valve dimensions:





Note: Worn sodium-filled exhaust valves must not be scrapped without first being properly treated. The valves must be cut at the middle of the shaft using a metal saw. While doing this, do not come into contact with water. At the very most, throw 10 of the prepared valves into a bucket filled with water. Then, move quickly away, because a sudden chemical reaction will occur during which the sodium is burnt away. The treated parts may then be discarded through conventional disposal channels.





Double bearing cap contact surfaces, sealing
- Apply a small amount of Sealant AMV 174 004 01 to contact surfaces - arrows - on double bearing cap.





Chain tensioner or camshaft adjuster/cylinder head contact surfaces, sealing
- Apply a small amount of Sealant AMV 174 004 01 to chain tensioner/cylinder head or camshaft adjuster/cylinder head sealing surfaces - arrows -. (Part numbers are for reference only. Always check with your Parts Department for the latest part number information).
