Cylinder Head, Removing And Installing: Installing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Audi Q7, 2014 Audi Q7, and 2013 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Install in reverse order of removal. Note the following:

Tightening specifications:

CAUTION:

The sealing surfaces could be damaged.

  • Carefully remove sealant residue from cylinder head and cylinder block.
  • Make sure that no long scrapes or scratches result.

Risk of damaging cylinder block.

  • No oil or coolant must be in the cylinder head bolt blind holes in the cylinder block.

Risk of leaks in cylinder head seal.

  • Carefully remove all grinding and sanding residue.
  • Only unpack new cylinder head gasket immediately prior to installation.
  • To prevent cylinder head gasket silicone layer and recessed area from being damaged, always handle seal extremely carefully.

Risk of damaging open valves.

  • If a replacement cylinder is installed, only remove plastic base right before cylinder head is installed to protect open valves.

Risk of damaging valves and piston heads after working on valve train.

  • To ensure valves do not strike pistons when starting, carefully rotate engine at least two full revolutions.
NOTE:

Replace the bolts that were tightened with an additional turn.

Replace self-locking nuts, gaskets, seals and O-rings.

It is not permitted to re-work the cylinder heads on TDI engines

If a replacement cylinder is installed, contact surfaces between the roller rocker lever and the cam lubricating surface must be lubricated before installing cylinder head cover.

Secure all hose connections with standard production hose clamps.

When replacing the cylinder head or cylinder head seal, all of the coolant and engine oil must be replaced.

-- Before installing the cylinder head, adjust the crankshaft and camshafts to "Top Dead Center (TDC)" :

  1. Part number
  2. Holes
NOTE:

If the cylinder head gasket or the cylinder head were replaced, select a new cylinder head gasket with the same number of holes as the old gasket.

If parts of the crank drive were replaced, then the new cylinder head gasket must be determined by measuring the piston projection in "TDC". Refer to PISTON PROJECTION, MEASURING AT "Top Dead Center (TDC)" .

The cylinder head gaskets for the left and right cylinder head cannot be interchanged because they each have a different shape.

-- Position the cylinder head gasket.
