Valve cone, rear cylinder head, B284 (new version)

Valve cone, rear cylinder head, B284 (new version)

To remove

Important

Store all removed valve parts in the valve stand 83 93 787.



1. Remove the Camshaft cover, rear, B284 .

2. Remove the spark plugs.

3. Remove the camshaft solenoid valve (695R) (A).


4. Remove the camshaft position sensor (555R) (B).

5. Rotate the engine so that the markings on the camshaft sprockets are visible and the indentations align with the cylinder head. Use EN-48383-3 as a gauge (the camshafts are now in their neutral position).


6. Raise the car.

7. Remove the Starter motor, B284 .

8. Fit EN-46106 Flywheel locking attachment (A).


9. Lower the car.

10. Mark the chain and camshaft sprockets so they can be refitted in the same position (A).


11. Slightly loosen the bolts holding the camshaft sprockets. Counterhold using an open spanner on the camshaft flats (do not remove the bolts) (B).

12. Fit EN-48313 Fixing tool to the camshaft chain. Check that the tool grips the chain (B) firmly, and that the upper groove of the tool (C) is level with the upper section of the cylinder head. (The timing cover is removed in the illustration for an improved view of how the tool should be fitted.)


13. Tighten EN-48313 Fixing tool manually so that the chain is unloaded. Counterhold using an open spanner so that the tool does not turn.

Important

It is vital that EN-48313 is properly fitted. If tension is not relieved from the chain when the camshaft sprocket is removed, the chain tensioner will trigger automatically. To then adjust the chain tensioner, the timing cover must be removed.


14. Remove the camshaft sprocket bolts.

15. Remove the sprockets from the camshafts.

16. Remove the camshaft bearing caps by loosening the bolts in stages - 1/2 to 1 turn. It is important that the removal ends at the bearing cap where the tappets are loaded. Note the markings on the bearing caps when refitting to ensure that they are in the correct locations (A).


17. Lift out the camshafts and note the rear marking on the camshafts. (B) The last letters in the marking: RI = intake camshaft, rear cylinder bank. RE = exhaust camshaft, rear cylinder bank.

18. Remove the roller rockers and the hydraulic adjuster elements. Store them in 83 93 787 Valve stand so they do not get mixed up (A).

Important

Cover all return oil ducts in the cylinder head so that the valve cone or contaminants cannot fall down into the engine.



19. Fit EN-46110 Valve spring tool .


20. Fit 83 94 173 Air nipple for spark plug hole . Connect compressed air and put the piston and valves under pressure (A).


21. Press down the valve plate with EN-46110 Valve spring tool (B).

Important

The compressed air must not be disconnected when the valve cone is removed. Do not press on the valve stem either as counterpressure in the cylinder could reduce and the valve could fall down into the cylinder.


22. Remove the valve cone with a magnet (A).



To fit


1. Press down the valve plate with EN-46110-eu Valve spring tool .

2. Fit the valve cone using EN-46117 Fitting tool (A).


3. Unload the valve and remove EN-46110-eu Valve spring tool .

4. Disconnect the compressed air and remove the air nipple.

5. Position the camshafts and use EN 48383-3 to check that the camshafts are mounted at the correct angle (B).

The last letters in the marking: RI = intake camshaft, rear cylinder bank. RE = exhaust camshaft, rear cylinder bank.


6. Fit the bearing caps as illustrated (markings on caps). Start where the cams point down and load the tappets.

Tightening torque 10 Nm (7 lbf ft)

Important

Tighten the bolts in stages - 1/2 to 1 turn.


7. Fit the sprockets with chain on the camshafts. Tighten the bolts by hand.

8. Check that the markings on the chain match the markings on the sprockets (A).


9. Remove EN-48313 Fixing tool.

10. Tighten the bolts of both camshaft sprockets (B), counterholding with an open spanner on the camshaft flats.

Tightening torque: 65 Nm (48 lbf ft)

11. Fit the camshaft position sensor (555R) using a new gasket. (B)

Tightening torque 10 Nm (7 lbf ft)


12. Fit the camshaft solenoid valve (695R) using a new seal (A).

Tightening torque 10 Nm (7 lbf ft)

13. Fit the spark plugs.

14. Raise the car.

15. Remove EN-46106 Flywheel locking attachment (A).


16. Fit the Starter motor, B284 .

17. Lower the car.

18. Fit the Camshaft cover, rear, B284 .
