NOTE: Make a note of the installed orientations and positions of the camshaft bearing caps when removing them. When installing the camshafts, care must be taken that the bearing caps are installed in the correct orientation and position and also that they are tightened in a certain order and tightened to the specified torque. The instructions in the procedure must be observed for this.

The cylinder head is made of a light metal alloy.

The exhaust manifold is part of the cylinder head and therefore cannot be replaced separately in service.

The intake camshaft is made longer by the additional triple cam for driving the high-pressure pump. It is therefore impossible to confuse it with the exhaust camshaft. It is mounted on five bearings. In addition, the intake camshaft bearing cap nearest the transmission forms the jacking point for the high-pressure pump used to create fuel at high pressure. The seal to the cylinder head is achieved using sealing compound.

The exhaust camshaft is mounted on four bearings and has an additional groove by which the vacuum pump is driven. The vacuum pump cover carries the seal for the valve cover and the vacuum pump.

The VCT units are bolted on the corresponding camshaft with the respective VCT control valve. The control valves are operated by a solenoid valve.

NOTE: The crankshaft and the camshafts must be brought to a defined position before the cylinder head or the camshafts are installed. The instructions in the procedure must be observed for this.
