Remove plastic sleeve -A-.
Insert the valve spring and valve spring plate.
Connect the VAS 5161 as illustrated.
For the intake side
For the exhaust side
Note. If the valve retainers were removed from the installation cartridge, they must be inserted into valve insertion device VAS 5161/18 next. Press the installation cartridge VAS 5161/8 onto the insertion device from above and capture the valve retainers.
Install the VAS 5161/8 using the pressure fork VAS 5161/2. Turn the knurled bolt on the installation cartridge back and forth and remove it upward.
Release the VAS 5161/2 with the knurled bolt pulled.
Remove the VAS 5161.
The rest of the assembly is basically a reverse of the disassembling sequence.
Install the camshafts. Refer to CAMSHAFTS .

Procedure
Camshafts, removing. Refer to CAMSHAFTS .
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.
Scheme 210
Tension the cylinder head on the VAS 6419 as illustrated.
Connect the VAS 6419 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.
Place the guide plate VAS 5161/19B from the VAS 5161 on the cylinder head.
Secure the guide plate with the knurled screws VAS 5161/12.
Insert the drift VAS 5161/3 in the guide plate and loosen the stuck valve retainers with a plastic mallet.
Scheme 211
Install engaging device VAS 5161/6 with installation fork VAS 5161/5 in guide plate.
Scheme 212
Slide installation cartridge VAS 5161/8 in guide plate.
Intake side
Engage the pressure fork VAS 5161/2 on the engaging device as illustrated.
Exhaust side
Engage the pressure fork VAS 5161/2 on the engaging device as illustrated.
Scheme 213
Continued for both sides
Press the installation cartridge down with the pressure fork.
At the same time, rotate installation cartridge knurled screw right until points engage in valve retainers.
Move the knurled bolt to the left and right.
- Valve retainers are pressed against each other and capture in the installation cartridge.
Release pressure fork.
Remove installation cartridge.
Unfasten guide plate and turn it aside.
Remove valve spring with valve spring plate.
Remove the valve stem seal with the 3364.
| CAUTION | Risk of damage when installing valve stem seals. Place plastic sleeve -A- that is attached to valve stem seals -B- on valve stem. |
Lightly oil valve stem seal.
Slide valve shaft seal onto plastic sleeve.
Carefully press valve stem seal onto valve guide with 3365.
Remove plastic sleeve again.
When the valve retainers were removed from the installation cartridge, they must be inserted in the valve retainer inserting tool VAS 5161/18 next.
Scheme 214
- The large diameter of the valve retainers point upward.
Press installation cartridge from above onto valve retainer inserting tool and capture retainers.
Insert valve spring and valve spring plate.
Install the guide plate on the cylinder head.
Insert installation cartridge with knurled spacer ring in guide plate.
Press pressure fork down and pull knurled screw up, turning left and right.
- The valve retainers are inserted in this manner.
Release pressure fork with knurled screw still raised.
Repeat the procedure on each valve.
