- Bearing caps of intake camshaft (set out in order)
- Intake valves with valve springs
- Valve heads and valve keys
- Rocker arms with hydraulic valve clearance compensating elements (in neat order).
- Return springs.
- Gates (set out in order)
- Intermediate levers (set out in order)
Release screws (1) on gate (2).
Tightening torque: 11 37 1AZ .
Place all gates (2) in neat order in special tool 11 4 481 .
Installation note:
Mixing up the gates (2) will cause the engine to suffer idle-speed fluctuations.
This will result in maladjustment of uniform distribution .
Installation note:
All contact surfaces (1) of gates must be clean and free from oil and grease. If necessary, clean contact surfaces (1).
Lift out intermediate levers (1).
Place all intermediate levers (1) in neat order in special tool 11 4 481 .
Installation note:
Mixing up the intermediate levers (1) will cause the engine to suffer idle-speed fluctuations.
Installation note:
All contact surfaces must be clean and free of oil and grease. If necessary, clean contact surfaces.
All intermediate levers are classified.
All intermediate levers must be reinstalled in the same positions in an engine which has already been in use.
Intermediate levers are classified from 1 to 5.
Risk of damage!
Install intermediate levers (1).
Fit gate (2) cleanly into recess.
Tighten screws (1) hand-tight.
Check that intermediate levers are in correct installation position.
Release screws (1) by a 1/4 turn.
Secure special tool 11 4 450 on screw connection (1) of eccentric shaft and set adjusting screw on special tool 11 4 450 if necessary.
Turn eccentric lever on special tool 11 4 450 in direction of arrow.
