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.

VALVE SEATS, REFACING

If a perfect contact pattern is not achieved by grinding the valve seats, reface them.

Note. If an engine with leaking valves is serviced, refacing or replacing valve seats and valves is not sufficient. The valve guides must be checked for wear, especially on engines with high mileage. Refer to VALVE GUIDES, CHECKING . Only refaced valve seats enough to achieve a suitable contact pattern. Calculate maximum permissible reworking dimension before reworking valve seats.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

  1. Depth gauge
  2. Valve seat reworking device

DETERMINING MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE REWORKING DIMENSION

Note. If valve is replaced during repair, use new valve for measurement.

Insert valve and press firmly against seat.

Using depth gauge, measure distance -a- between end of valve stem and upper cylinder head surface.

Scheme 812

Scheme 812: DETERMINING MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE REWORKING DIMENSION

Determine maximum allowable refacing dimension using distance measured and minimum dimension.

Measured distance minus minimum dimension = maximum permissible refaced dimension.

If the maximum permissible refacing dimension is 0 mm or less, repeat measurement using new valve.

If maximum permissible refacing dimension is still 0 mm or less, replace cylinder head.

Note. If refacing dimension is too small, hydraulic valve clearance compensation will not function properly.

At the same time, turn knurled bolt of installation cartridge to the right, until the points engage in the valve retainers.

Lightly move knurled bolt back and forth, causing the valve retainers to be pressed apart and be captured in the installation cartridge.

Release pressure fork.

Take out installation cartridge.

Unfasten guide plate and turn it aside.

Remove valve spring with valve spring plate.

Front valve row procedure

Screw VAS 5161/6 with VAS 5161/5 onto cylinder head.

Scheme 866

Push the VAS 5161/17 onto the VAS 5161/8.

Push installation cartridge into guide plate.

Hook in VAS 5161/2 at engaging device and press down installation cartridge.

At the same time, turn knurled bolt of installation cartridge to the right, until the points engage in the valve retainers.

Lightly move knurled bolt back and forth, causing the valve retainers to be pressed apart and be captured in the installation cartridge.

Release pressure fork.

Take out installation cartridge.

Unfasten guide plate and turn it aside.

Remove valve spring with valve spring plate.

Procedure for both valve rows

Pull off valve stem oil seals using 3364.

Note. For pressing on green-colored valve stem seals from delivery program, the 3365 must be drilled to dia. 10.5 mm. Mark the drilled driver for later reuse. A plastic sleeve -A- is supplied with new valve shaft seals.

Place plastic sleeve -A- on valve stem to prevent damage to new valve stem seals -B-.

Lightly coat sealing lips of valve stem seal with oil.

Push valve stem seal onto plastic sleeve.

Carefully press valve stem oil seal onto valve guide using 3365.

Remove plastic sleeve again.

If the valve keys were removed from the installation cartridge, they must be inserted into VAS 5161/18 next.

  1. The large diameter of the valve retainers point upward.

Install valve spring and valve spring plate.

Installed position of valve spring

  1. The larger diameter -arrow- faces toward cylinder head.

Rear valve row procedure

Fasten the guide plate to cylinder head again as shown in illustration.

Insert installation cartridge into guide plate.

Press the pressure fork down and pull the knurled bolt upward while turning it left and right to insert the valve retainers.

Release pressure fork with the knurled bolt still pulled.

Front valve row procedure

Insert installation cartridge with knurled spacer wheel into guide plate.

Press the pressure fork down and pull the knurled bolt upward while turning it left and right to insert the valve retainers.

Release pressure fork with the knurled bolt still pulled.

Install camshafts. Refer to CAMSHAFTS .

Install sparks plugs.

Note. After installing the camshafts, the engine may not be started for approximately 30 minutes. The hydraulic adjusting elements must seat themselves (otherwise the valves will seat themselves on the pistons). After working on the valvetrain and lifters, carefully rotate the crankshaft by hand at least 2 full revolutions before starting to be sure that valves do not strike the pistons.
