Replacing Valve-Stem Seals (Cylinder Head Installed)

NOTIFICATION 

Engine damage 

• Risk of damage to valves due to incorrect handling 
  1. → To prevent the valve from falling into the cylinder, the guide plate and sealing pins must not be unscrewed.
  2. → Overpressure in the cylinder must be kept at at least 6 bar.
  3. → Cover passages and openings from the cylinder head into the crankcase.

1. Prepare guide plate -1-  .

   3. 4.3  Connect compressed air with minimum pressure of 6 bar  to the T40012 - adapter  .

      Information 

      The knurled screw slips as far as it can go into the assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A  when picking up the valve keys.

5. Remove valve springs using VAS 5161A - removal and installation device for valve cotters  .
   1. 5.1  Screw retainer VAS 5161/6  with guide fork -1-  and M8 threaded bolt VAS 5161/5  into the VAS 5161A/38 - guide plate  . Valve keys 
   2. 5.2  Insert assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A -2-  into the VAS 5161A/38 - guide plate  .
   3. 5.3  Engage pressure fork VAS 5161/2 -3-  on the retane. VAS 5161/6. 
   4. 5.4  Press assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A -2-  down and turn the knurled screw -arrow-  on the assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A -2-  to the right at the same time until the tips engage in the valve keys.
   5. 5.5  Turn the knurled screw -arrow-  back and forth to press the valve keys apart and engage them in the assembly cartridge VAS 5161/8A -2-  .
