Installing valve tappets - Cylinder bank 1 - 3

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2005 Porsche 911, 2004 Porsche 911, 2003 Porsche 911, 2002 Porsche 911, and 2001 Porsche 911. 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 TAPPET , Serv. No. 15 59 02
  2. Fit guide. Tighten pan-head screws (M6 x 35) from the inside to the outside. Tightening torque 10 Nm (7.5 ftlb.)
  3. Lightly oil the valve tappet and fit it in the guide.
  4. Lay the complete unit, camshafts with chain and tensioning element in the cylinder head. The groove or tab of the camshaft position sensor cover must face upward If the allocation should be uncertain, e.g. chain jumped over, reallocation is necessary. Refer to: COMPLETING CAMSHAFTS .

  7. Fit tensioning element (VarioCam). Tighten 3 M6 x 95 pan-head screws. Tightening torque 10 Nm (7.5 ftlb.)
  8. Unscrew tensioning screw (special tool 9632) from the tensioning element.
  9. Remove tie wrap and fit sprocket wheel with chain on the flange of the exhaust camshaft.

  10. Position drive plate or driver star on the sprocket wheel. Fit hexagon-head bolts M6 x 15 (10.9). Tighten hexagon-head bolts by hand only.
  11. Unscrew chain tensioner (fitted on the crankcase half of cylinder bank 4 - 6) and fasten auxiliary chain tensioner (special tool 9599).
  12. Fit auxiliary chain tensioner without sealing ring and fasten on the crankcase only hand-tight. The mechanical auxiliary chain tensioners must be install with the correct pre-tension when the valve timing is adjusted or checked. The necessary pre-tension force has been achieved when the measuring pin is flush with the face surface of the pressure 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.

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

  15. 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).

    Special tool fitting sequence:

    A - Fastening screw with star knob on cylinder head lug.

    Pull back B and C when tightening.

    B - Centring piece in groove of the exhaust camshaft.

    Pull sword bolt (C) back when tightening.

    C - Sword bolt

  17. Allocate camshafts; to do this, turn the pre-tensioned center piece accordingly until the sword bolt can be fixed in the bearing bore.

  18. Fasten sprocket wheel. Tightening torque 14 Nm (10.5 ftlb.)
  19. Remove blocking device.
    NOTE:
    • The auxiliary chain tensioners must remain fitted on cylinder bank 4 - 6 for the subsequent assembly work.
  20. Fit oil extraction pump
    NOTE:
    • The oil extraction pumps on the cylinder heads are identical parts. Therefore, the installation position and direction of rotation must be correct.

    Installation position of oil extraction pump at cylinder head 1 - 3 (flywheel side).

    The arrow for the direction of rotation or the marking "1 - 3" 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 ftlb.)
