Audi 5000 Camshaft removal/install
Hi,
I'm replacing the lifters on my 86 5000 and am having lots of trouble with the camshaft bearing caps. If I follow the manual, there is no way that I can put the caps back on. The procedure as I understand it is as follows: a) place engine at TDC; marks on camshaft pulley and crankshaft b) loosen caps 2 & 4 diagonally c) remove caps 2 & 4 d) loosen caps 1 & 3 diagonally e) remove caps 1 & 3 The manual calls for reinstalling in the same order. The problem is that there is no way to install cap 4 with the lobes pushing on the lifters. What am I doing wrong? Should I install in the reverse order? That would make sense to me. Thanks in advance! Kirk S. |
