Installing Valve Tappets Of Cylinder Bank 4 - 6

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check guide for damage. Refer to CHECKING GUIDE FOR VALVE TAPPETS .
  2. Fit guide. Tighten pan-head screws (M6 x 35) from the inside to the outside. Tightening torque: 10 Nm (7.5 ft.lb)
  3. Lightly oil the valve tappets and fit in the guide.
  4. Lay the complete unit, camshafts with chain and tensioning element, into the cylinder head. The groove or tab of the camshaft position sensor cover must face outward in installed position. If the allocation should be uncertain, for example, chain jumped over, reallocation is necessary. Refer to COMPLETING CAMSHAFTS .

  8. Fit tensioning element (VarioCam). Tighten 3 M6 x 95 pan-head screws. Tightening torque: 10 Nm (7.5 ft.lb)
  9. Unscrew tensioning screw, special tool 9632, from the tensioning element.
  10. Remove tie wrap and fit sprocket wheel with chain on the flange of the exhaust camshaft.
  11. Position drive plate or driver star on the sprocket wheel. Fit hexagon-head bolt M6 x 15 (10.9). Tighten hexagon-head bolt by hand only.
  12. Fit auxiliary chain tensioner, special tool 9599, on cylinder head 4-6. Fit auxiliary chain tensioner without sealing ring and fasten on the crankcase only hand-tight. The mechanical auxiliary chain tensioners must be installed with the correct pre-tension when the valve timing is adjusted or checked. The necessary pre-tension force has been reached when the measuring pin is flush with the face surface of the thrust screw. Turn the screw if necessary.

    Carefully place the cylinder-head cover in the correct position so that the sealing bead is not damaged. Screw two studs or centering pins into the corners of the cylinder head as centering aids. Tightening torque: 13 Nm (10.0 ft.lb.)

    Immediately remove silicone material emerging in the area of the camshaft closure caps.

  14. For the subsequent adjustment work on the camshaft, the pulley must be fixed at bore 1 OT (TDC) with the fixing pin (special tool 9595). See Fig 6.

    Special-tool fitting sequence: 

    1. Fastening screw with star knob on the cylinder-head lug. Pull back centering piece (B) and sword bolt (C) when tightening. See Fig 8.
    2. Centering piece in groove of the exhaust camshaft. Pull back sword bolt (C) when tightening. See Fig 8.
    3. Sword bolt

  17. Fasten sprocket wheel. Tightening torque: 14 Nm (10.5 ft.lb)
  18. Remove blocking device.
  19. . Fit oil extraction pump.
    NOTE:
    • The oil extraction pumps on the cylinder heads are identical parts. Therefore, the installation

    position or direction of rotation must be correct.

    Installation position of oil extraction pump at cylinder head 4 - 6 (flywheel side): The arrow for the direction of rotation or the marking "4-6" must face the crankcase. Fit oil extraction pump. Use new sealing ring and new micro-encapsulated hexagon socket head screws. Tightening torque: 10 Nm (7.5 ft.lb)
