NOTE: Dirt and contamination
  • Risk of damage to units or components

    → Protect components from dirt and contamination.

    → Clean or replace dirty components.

Information 

  1. Secure the crankshaft.

    Turn crankshaft at the vibration damper clockwise (direction of rotation of engine)  to TDC position of cylinder 1/4.

    The position is marked by A and OT 1. 

    Use a long > 9595/1 - locating pin-1-  to fix the vibration damper in place.

  2. Turn the engine at the assembly support so that the cylinder bank to be worked on is at the top.
  3. Insert lower part of bearing saddle -1-  .

    Check matching number for upper part and position of oil bores.

    Position lower part of bearing saddle -1-  at the dowel sleeves and insert it.

  4. Oil the bearing locations of the camshafts with new engine oil. When rebuilding the engine, coat the bearing locations with Optimol Optipit grease (Part No. 000.043.204.17).

    Check that all hydraulic tappets are installed correctly.

  5. Insert camshafts -1 and 2-  .

    Insert camshafts -1 and 2-  into the cylinder head in such a way that the cams -Arrows-  are pointing inwards at an angle, towards the spark plug bore and the camshafts -1 and 2-  are not tensioned.

    Check whether the data matrix code markings on the dihedron are facing you.

  6. Secure camshafts -1 and 2-  .

    > 9772/1 - Staking tools-3-  must be fitted on the dihedron -Arrows-  of the camshafts. Also make sure that the adjusting screws -5-  are sticking out far enough and are not touching the camshafts.

    Fit cheese head bolts -4-  by hand.

  7. Install bearing saddle and bearing covers.

    Do not install the centre bearing covers until you have set the timing. 

    Fit bearing saddle and bearing covers. Observe markings while doing this.

    Fit bearing saddle screws -13 to 16-  .

    Fit and tighten screws for bearing covers -3 to 6-  and -9 to 12-  .

  8. Fit and tighten screws in ascending sequence. (Except -1 and 2-  and -7 and 8-  )

    Tool: > 9768 - Electronic torque wrench, 2 - 100 Nm (1.5 - 74 ftlb.) 

    Screws, M6 x 38: 

    > Initial tightening 5 Nm (3.5 ftlb.) 

    > Torque angle 50 Grad 

    Scews, M6 x 70 (bearing saddle): 

    > Initial tightening 5 Nm (3.5 ftlb.) 

    > Torque angle 90 Grad

  10. Install camshaft controllers -1- and 2-  .

    Fit camshaft controllers -1 and 2-  with new friction plates on camshafts.

    Install the timing chain.

    Tighten central screws -3-  with new drivers  slightly by hand.

    1  Camshaft controller, intake
    2  Camshaft controller, outlet
    3  Central screws (central valves)
    CAUTION: Timing chains positioned incorrectly
    • Too much wear on sprockets and timing chains
    • Engine damage

      → Perform a visual inspection to check the position of the timing chains on the tensioning and guide rails.

  11. Use a torch to check that the timing chains -1-  are on the tensioning and guide rails between the guide pins -Arrows-  .

    Position of timing chain in tensioning and guide rails

    Information 

    • The chain tensioner from the 1st generation 1991 engine is used for setting the timing on the 992 engine. 
    • This has a higher spring force and allows more accurate adjustment. 
  12. Screw in and tighten chain tensioner with old seal.

    Use chain tensioner 9A1.105.157.02 (1st generation 991 engine) for setting the timing. 

    > Tightening torque 80  (59 ftlb.  ) Nm 

    Set the timing, cylinder bank 4-6: 

  13. > 9772/1 - Staking tool  must be tightened hand-tight with the cheese head bolts.
  14. Tighten adjusting screws -1-  of the staking tools slowly on both sides.

    Do not exceed the specified tightening specification (tool will become tilted)! 

    > Tightening torque 2 Nm (1.5 ftlb.)

  16. Check axial bearing play at the camshafts (by gently pulling and pressing on the camshaft controllers).

    If there s not a clearly perceptible amount of play, the shafts will have to be re-fitted. 

  17. > 9772/1 - Staking tool  must now be removed.

    Loosen adjusting screws.

    Unscrew cheese head bolts on the bearing cover supports and remove tools.

  18. Install centre bearing covers at the camshafts.

    Fit centre bearing covers.

    Fit and tighten screws uniformly.

    > Initial tightening 5 Nm (3.5 ftlb.) 

    > Torque angle 50 Grad 

  19. Tighten central screws to their final tightening torque.

    Tools: 

    • -item 1-  : > 9863/3 - Open-ended wrench, a/f 39  for countering
    • -item 2-  : > 9863 - Socket wrench for camshaft 
    • -item 3-  : > 9768 - Electronic torque wrench, 2 - 100 Nm (1.5 - 74 ftlb.) 

    Tighten central sire'vs and set threshold torque on the electronic torque wrench to 30 Nm (22 ftlb.).
