How to take out bent valves
Hi,
I am fixing my 91 Passat. I took the cylinder head out, 4 intake valves are bent, I want to replace these. How do I take them out? Seems that a valve keeper is holding them but this is just a guess. Or is it just a matter hammering them out? Dimag |

How to take out bent valves
OK this is how I do it: Bang the valve heads fairly straight with a hammer
so they get pulled back onto their seats. Take a brass hammer and a 1/2 inch deep socket, place socket on center of retainer and hit socket top a couple of times with the brass hammer. This should break the bond on the keepers and retainer. You should be able to compress the springs now, if not repeat dose. Use a pocket magnet and a pocket screwdriver to collect keepers. Mark good valves with permanent marker on heads like 1IF (cylinder 1 intake front) and so on, keeping retainer, keepers, valve, springs together so they go back together as they were.

How to take out bent valves
I was going to suggest that installing a new valve or valves will do
nothing to fix the manged valve guides. A trip to a machine shop is in order.

Because the guys that did the job of replacing the old timing belt did not replace the tensioner pulley. So the new timing belt that they put in broke with 5000 miles on it. From now on I am doing the repairs myself. |
