Installing

Note

Note that pulley contact surfaces, securing bolt, bearing bush and crankshaft chain sprocket must be free of oil and grease.

–	Clean sealing surfaces carefully. They must be free of oil and grease.

Note

t	The valve timing housing is still sealed to the engine with a seal and also sealant D 176 501 A1.

t	The sealant D 176 501 A1 is used to prevent leaks between the valve timing housing and the joints -1- and -2-.

t	Sealant spots must have a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of approx. 1 mm.

t	Do not apply sealant until directly before the valve timing housing is fitted.

–	Apply sealant D 176 501 A1 to the joints camshaft housing/cylinder head -1- and cylinder head/cylinder block -2-.

–	Fit new gasket onto dowel pins.

–	When fitting, install two -M6x80- studs into cylinder head and cylinder block as a guide.

–	Fit valve timing housing with crankshaft bearing bush simultaneously onto studs, dowel pins and crankshaft journal.

–	Tighten valve timing housing securing bolts evenly and diagonally.

Ensure that timing housing is not canted.

Specified torque:

M6 bolt to 10 Nm.

M8 bolt to 20 Nm

M10 bolt to 50 Nm.

Engine mountings → Chapter

Align engine mountings as follows:

t	There must be a distance -a- of at least 10 mm between engine support and longitudinal member (right side).

t	The side surface of the engine support -2- should be located parallel to the support arm -1-.

Install crankshaft belt pulley → Chapter.

Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling sequence.
