Removing

- Remove the camshafts. Refer to => [ Camshafts ] Service and Repair.

- Mark the allocation of the roller rocker lever and the hydraulic adjusting elements so they can be installed again.

- If necessary, remove the roller rocker levers with the hydraulic adjusting elements and place them on a clean surface.

- Mount the (VAS 6419) into the (VAS 6095).






- Tension the cylinder head on the cylinder head tensioning device, as illustrated.

- Connect the cylinder head tensioning device to the compressed air.

- Slide the air cushion with the lever - arrow - under the combustion chamber onto the valve stem seals that will be removed.

- Let enough compressed air flow into the air cushion until it contacts the valve plate.

- Position the (VAS 5161/3) on the valve spring plate and loosen the stuck valve retainers with a plastic mallet.






- Place the (VAS 5161/19B) from the (VAS 5161) on the cylinder head.






- Secure the guide plate with the (VAS 5161/12).

- Install (VAS 5161/6) with (VAS 5161/5) in guide plate.






- Slide (VAS 5161/8) in guide plate.

- Engage (VAS 5161/2) on engaging device and press installation cartridge down.

- At the same time, rotate installation cartridge knurled screw right until points engage in valve retainers.

- Move the knurled wheel left and right slightly. This presses the valve retainers apart and captures them in the installation cartridge.

The large diameter of the valve retainers point upward.

- Press installation cartridge from above onto valve retainer inserting tool and capture keepers.

- Insert the valve spring and the valve spring plate. Refer to => [ Installed Position of Valve Spring ] Valvetrain Overview.






- Install the guide plate on the cylinder head.






- Insert installation cartridge in guide plate.

- Press the pressure fork down and pull the knurled screw up while turning left and right. This inserts the valve retainers.

- Release the pressure fork with the knurled screw still raised.

- Repeat the procedure on each valve.

Installing
