- Dimension - a -: at least 139.2 mm





Camshaft, checking axial play

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
^ Dial gauge holder VW 387
^ Dial gauge

Measure with valve lifters removed, chain removed and bearing caps 2 and 4 installed.

Wear limit: 0.2 mm





Valve dimensions

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





Note: Dispose of sodium-filled exhaust valves only after they have been treated.

CAUTION! To prevent eye damage and skin abrasion, wear protective glasses and clothing!

- Cut valves at middle of shaft using a metal saw. Do not let valves come into contact with water during this process.
- Throw no more than 10 cut valves at a time into a bucket filled with water and then step away swiftly!

Note: A sudden chemical reaction occurs, during which the sodium filling burns. The treated parts may then be discarded through conventional disposal channels.





Sealing contact surfaces of bearing cap/cylinder head

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
^ Sealant D 454 300 A2.

- Using a small screwdriver, carefully apply a thin layer of sealant D 454 300 A2 to both edges of sealing surfaces between bearing cap and cylinder head - arrows -.
