Valvetrain, assembly overview
Note. Cylinder heads with cracks between valve seats or between valve seat and spark plug thread can still be used without loss of service life if the cracks are minute (max. 0.3 mm width) or only the first four threads of a spark plug thread are cracked. After installing the camshafts, the engine may not be started for approx. 30 minutes. The hydraulic equalization elements must seat themselves (otherwise the valves will crash into the pistons). After working on the valvetrain, carefully rotate engine by hand at least 2 full revolutions to ensure that valves do not strike the pistons when starting. Always replace seals, sealing rings and O-rings.

Scheme 204
Note. Valves must not be reworked. Only lapping is permitted.
| Dimension | Intake valve | Exhaust valve |
|---|---|---|
| A - = dia. mm | 26.8 to 27.0 | 26.8 to 27.0 |
| B - = dia. mm | 5.94 to 5.95 | 5.94 to 5.95 |
| C - = mm | 96.4 to 96.6 | 95.3 to 95.5 |
| Α - = Angle° | 45 | 45 |
| CAUTION | Worn sodium-filled exhaust valves must not be scrapped without first being properly treated. Using a metal saw, the valves must be cut into two pieces between the shaft center and valve head. While doing this, do not come into contact with water. At the very most, throw 10 of the prepared valves into a bucket filled with water. Then, move quickly away, because a sudden chemical reaction will occur during which the sodium is burnt away. The treated parts may then be discarded through conventional disposal channels. |
