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 seal 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.
- Mount the (VAS 5161/19B) on the cylinder head.
- Secure the guide plate with the (VAS 5161/12).
- Install the (VAS 5161/6) with the (VAS 5161/5) in guide plate.
- Slide the (VAS 5161/8) in guide plate.
- Engage the (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.
- Release the pressure fork.
- Remove installation cartridge.
- Unfasten guide plate and turn it aside.
- Remove the valve spring and the valve spring plate.
- Remove the valve stem seal with the (3364).
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 the (3365).
- Remove plastic sleeve.
When the valve retainers were removed from the installation cartridge, they must be inserted in the (VAS 5161/18) next.
• The large diameter of the valve retainers point upward.
- Press installation cartridge from above onto the insertion device and capture keepers.
- Insert valve spring and valve spring plate.
• Installation position: the tight spring coils - arrow - face toward the cylinder head.
- 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.
Assembling
Assemble in reverse order of disassembling. Note the following:
- Make sure all the roller rocker levers lie on the ends of the valve stems correctly and are clipped onto the respective hydraulic adjusting elements.
- Install the camshafts. Refer to => [ Camshafts ] Service and Repair.
