Overview - VALVETRAIN: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Audi S5, 2011 Audi S5, 2010 Audi S5, 2009 Audi S5, and 2008 Audi S5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:

Risk Of Damaging Valves And Piston Heads After Working On Valve Train.

  • 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 two full revolutions.
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.

The illustration shows the cylinder bank 2 cylinder head (left).
