Note  
Engine head cylinder with fractures between valves seats or be‐  
tween valve seat and Spark plug - Q- thread can still be used  
without reducing the useful life, provided that the fractures are 0.5  
mm wide at most or are located on the first 4 turns of the Spark  
plug -Q- thread only.  
WARNING  
Always replace self-locking nuts and screws subject to angular  
torque

♦ Depth vernier caliper  
♦ Device for grinding valve seats  
Note  
In case of repairs to engines with leaking valves, simply grind‐  
ing or replacing the seats and valves is not enough. Especially  
in engines with high kilometres traveled, the valve guides must  
also be checked for wear. ⇒ page 42 .  
Grind valve seats until obtaining a perfect seating. Before  
grinding, determine the maximum grinding elevation allowed.  
If grinding elevation is exceeded, hydraulic offsetting of valve  
clearance is no longer ensured and the engine cylinder head  
must be replaced.  
lk  
Calculating maximum trimming specification allowed  
– Install the valve and press it strongly against its seat.  
Note  
If the valve is replaced upon repair, use the new valve for meas‐  
urement.  
– Measure the distance -a- between valve end and engine head  
upper surface.  
– Calculate maximum and minimum grinding measurement of  
the measured distance.  
Minimum measurements: Intake valve = 7.6 mm and exhaust  
valve = 7.6 mm.  
Measured distance minus minimum distance = Maximum grinding  
measurement allowed.  
Example:  
Measured distance  
8,0 mm  
7,6 mm  
- minimum specification  
Maximum allowable grinding specification  
0,4 mm  
The max. grinding measurement allowed is shown in the illustra‐  
tions to grind the valve seats as per measurement “b”.

Valve guides - check  
Special tools and workshop equipment required  
♦ Centesimal dial gauge  
♦ Support -VW 387-  
lk  
Test sequence  
– Place a new valve on the guide. Valve end shall be aligned  
with guide. Due to the various valve guide diameters, we rec‐  
ommend using only one intake valve on intake guide and one  
exhaust valve on escape guide.  
– Measure tilting clearence. Wear limit: 0.8 mm.  
In case the clearance is exceeded:  
– Replace engine cylinder head.

Removal  
(with engine head installed)  
– Remove cylinder head cover ⇒ page 24 .  
– Remove roller rockers and place them on a clean surface.  
Make sure roller rockers are not touched.  
– Remove the spark plugs with the Spark plug wrench -3122B- .  
– Put the piston of the respective cylinder in “Bottom Dead Cen‐  
tre”.

– Install Valve spring compressor -3362- with the -3362/1- .  
– Screw the Flexible tube -VW 653/2A- or Flexible tube -VW  
653/3- to the spark plug thread.  
– Connect pressure tube to compressed air with, at least, 6-bar  
positive pressure and remove valve springs.  
– Remove valve stem seals with the Impact extractor -3364- .  
lk  
2.5.2  
Installation  
– Install the supplied plastic bushing on the respective valve  
stem. This way, damages to the valve steam seal are preven‐  
ted.  
– Install the new valve steam sealant in the Seal fitter -3365- .  
– Lubricate the valve stem seal lip and carefully install on valve  
guide.  
– Install cylinder head cover ⇒ page 24 .  
Resume the installation in the removal reverse order.
