1997 AUDI A4 AWM Engine Valve Gear Service Workshop Manual

15-37


Valve gear, servicing

Note:

Cylinder heads that have cracks between the
valve seats or between valve seat inserts and
the spark plug thread can be used further
without reducing service life, provided the
cracks do not exceed a maximum of 0.3 mm in
width, or when no more than the first 4 turns of
the spark plug threads are cracked.
Wait about 30 minutes after installing the
camshafts before starting the engine. Hydraulic
valve compensation elements have to settle
(otherwise valves will strike pistons).
After working on the valve gear, turn the engine
carefully at least 2 rotations to ensure that none
of the valves make contact when the starter is
operated.
Replace all gaskets and seals.
