camshaft replacement
(unless offcourse that sexy thing is drunk nd stupid... lol)
so i have taken the oil pan off and cleaned it today
had to unbolt 4 bolts off the sway bar to make for easy access to the back of the oil pan


this is how it looked when i just got it off

and after about 5 minutes with tihs stuff

and some of this stuff

this is how it looks

i know i could make it cleaner if i scrub for a little more then 5 minutes will get to it later...
now for the questions which are not really related
ive located the oil pressure switch


but how do i get it off?
there is barely any access to it and it seems like i will most likely break it so id rather hear some opinions on it before i go and break yet another thing on my audi
another question i had was about the pcv how should i go about cleaning it? i dont have access to pressured air, can i just use a water hose and spray its insides to get it clean?
and lastly how would i go about pushing the lifters to get my passenger side intake and exahust camshafts aligned with the crank and driver side?(they have turned while i was removing the sprocket, it was stuck on there pretty hard) do i just put them in how ever they are and turn them until the square notch lines with the arrows on rear of head?(is it the arrows that are on caps number 5? if so i dont know how i will see it since there will be things over it)
