3.2l - Cylinder Head, Valvetrain - Engine Code(s): Cala (coupe) (as of 12.2008) Audi A5 I

Mechanical 134 illustrations ~10573 words
CAUTIONRisk of damaging valves and piston heads after working on valvetrain. The motor must not be started for about 30 minutes after installing camshafts because the hydraulic equalization elements must seat themselves. To ensure valves do not strike pistons when starting, carefully rotate engine at least 2 full revolutions.

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.

WARNINGRisk of injury if exhaust valves with sodium filling are disposed of improperly. Cut exhaust valve with sodium filling into 2 parts with a metal saw between shaft center and valve plate. While doing this, do not come into contact with water. Throw at the most 10 such sawed exhaust valves in a bucket filled with water and step back immediately. When there is contact with water, a sudden chemical reaction occurs which burns the sodium filling. The treated parts may then be discarded through conventional disposal channels.
