Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods: Locations



Valve gear, assembly overview

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 4 threads of the spark plug threads are cracked.
^ When new lifters have been installed the engine must not be started for about 30 minutes. (Valves will otherwise contact piston). Additionally, first turn the crankshaft two full turns.

^ Oil contact surfaces

27 - Bearing cap intake camshaft

28 - Double bearing cap
^ Must fit on dowel sleeves
^ Coat contact surface slightly with sealant D 454 300 A2 before installing
^ Seal transition points of double bearing cap-cylinder head

29 - Exhaust camshaft bearing cap

30 - Exhaust camshaft
^ Check radial clearance with Plastigage: Wear limit: 0.1 mm
^ Run-out: max. 0.035 mm





Reworking cylinder head sealing surface
The reworking dimension is measured through the holes for the cylinder head bolts.
- Dimension - a - = 139.2 mm min.





Checking camshaft axial clearance

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
^ Universal dial gauge bracket VW 387
^ Dial gauge

Perform measurement when hydraulic lifters and chain are removed and bearing caps 2 and 4 are installed.
Wear limit: max. 0.2 mm





Valve dimensions

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





^ Worn exhaust valves with sodium filling must not be scrapped without observing the following: The valves must be cut in the shaft center with a metal cutting saw. When doing this they must not contact water. Afterwards, throw a maximum of ten of the prepared valves in a pail filled with water. Then step back as a sudden chemical reaction occurs which makes the sodium filling burn. The parts treated this way can then be disposed of as normal scrap.





Sealing transition points double bearing cap-cylinder head
- Seal both edges on contact surfaces of double bearing cap-cylinder head - arrows - by carefully applying a thin coat of sealant D 454 300 A2 with a small screwdriver.





Sealing chain tensioner-cylinder head or camshaft adjuster-cylinder head transition points
- Seal both edges on contact surfaces of chain tensioner-cylinder head or camshaft adjuster-cylinder head - arrows - by carefully applying a thin coat of sealant D 454 300 A2 with a small screwdriver.
