Front Head Tightening Sequence:

5. Place the exhaust camshaft in position. Check that it is placed correctly. Lubricate generously with oil.
Cylinders 2-4-6 (front)
The locating pins for the intake camshaft should be in line (downwards) with the inside bolts for the camshaft bearing caps.
The guide pin for the exhaust camshaft should point straight up from the plane of the cylinder head.
Take note of the markings on the bearing cap and cylinder head. Apply a very thin layer of 74 96 268 Thread locking adhesive to the front contact surface of the bearing cap with the cylinder head. See illustration.Fit the stuffing box and bearing caps and tighten the bolts. Tighten them in steps of 1/2 to 1 turn. Tightening torque: 8 Nm (6 ft. lbs.)
6. Fit the inner (rear) timing cover.





7. Fit the camshaft sprockets correctly in relation to the locating pins. Check the position against the markings in the timing cover.
The number in the sprocket hub should match the number on the camshaft.
Tightening torque: 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.) + 60°

Warning: The jaws of the open-ended spanner used as a counterstay when fitting the camshaft sprockets must not be too long. There is otherwise a risk of damaging the metal so that the tappets become locked.

8. Check that the O-rings are in place in the camshaft cover and wipe clean.
Lubricate with a soap solution and place part No. (10) 8152 381 in the corners at the camshaft bearing caps.

Use 83 95 006 Adjustment tools for camshaft sprockets and timing belt, V6 KM-800-30 to keep the belt in place. Fit the guide roller. Make sure that the washer is in place. Carefully check that the markings on the timing belt are aligned with the corresponding markings on the camshaft sprocket.
Raise the car and check the marking on the crankshaft. Lower the car and remove the tool KM-800-30.
Tightening torque, guide roller: 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.)





25. Ensure the adjusting nut on the upper adjusting roller rotates freely and is not tight. Adjust the tensioning pulley with a 5 mm Allen key until the two lines on the tensioning pulley correspond with each other. Tighten.
