Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods: Locations



Assembly overview

Note:
^ Cylinder heads with cracks between the valve seats, or between the valve seat and the spark plug threads, can continue to be used without reducing the service life, as long as the cracks have a width of max. 0.3 mm, or only the first 4 threads of the spark plug threads are cracked.
^ After installing new hydraulic valve lifters, do not start engine for about 30 minutes (otherwise valves will strike pistons). Next, turn crankshaft through 2 rotations.

^ Before installing, check axial play of camshafts
^ Lubricate contact surface.

27 - Intake camshaft bearing cap

28 - Double bearing cap
^ Coat contact surface lightly with sealant AMV 174 004 01

29 - Exhaust camshaft bearing cap

30 - Exhaust camshaft
^ Checking axial play
^ Check radial play with Plastigage
- Wear limit: 0.1 mm

Cylinder head - sealing surface, resurfacing
Resurfacing measurement is made via the holes for cylinder head bolts.
- Dimension - a - : at least 139.2 mm





Camshaft, checking axial play

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

Measure with valve lifters removed, chain removed and bearing caps 2 and 4 installed.
Wear limit: 0.2 mm





Valve dimensions

Note: Do not grind valves. Only hand-lapping is permitted.





Note:
^ 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.
^ It is not necessary to saw through the entire valve stem. The valve stem will break relatively easily after a shallow cut has been made.
^ The valves must not come into contact with water while being cut.
^ Drop no more than 10 of the prepared valves at a time into a bucket filled with cold water and move away quickly.
^ A brief chemical reaction will occur during which the sodium will be burnt away.
^ The treated parts may then be scrapped.





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