1997 AUDI A4 AEB ATW Engines Valvetrain Servicing Workshop Manual

15-32


Valvetrain, servicing

Note:

Cylinder heads with small cracks between the
valve seats that are less than 0.3 mm (0.012
in.) wide and/or between one valve seat and
only the first 4 threads of the spark plug thread,
can continue to be used without reduced
service life.
Always replace gaskets, seals and O-rings.

CAUTION!
After installing the camshafts, the engine
must not be started for approx. 30 minutes.
The hydraulic valve lifters have to settle
(otherwise valves will strike the pistons).
After installing the valvetrain and lifters,
carefully rotate the crankshaft by hand at
least 2 full revolutions before starting to be
sure that valves do not strike the pistons.
