Excellent info, guys, except for you, Chris. I guess you live by the mantra: German Car, German Specs: "Guttentite"

Thanks for the specs, SickB5. Hey, did you have a DIY or a manual for when you did yours?

 

No man to be honest I didn't I just kind of winged it, stayed calm and took my time and it worked out. Just remember be patient.

 

Torque specs for head
1/2 in drive + breaker bar

crank that bitch down in a counter clockwise fashion without breaker*
Go back and make a half turn with 3 ft breaker

*I take no responsibility for the n00b that does use this

 

It's a piece of cake. You won't need a DIY or manual. Once you start you'll fly they it.

 

yea man i had my b5 sitting in the garage and i was stuptified. i was thinking.

eeerrrrrr???... aaahhhh? so how do i take the bumper off?

DV?!?! WTF ?1?. IS THAT??

then 6 hous later i had my car in service postion ( front bumper off and core suppot off) and myintake manifold off and the exahaust manifold.

just start at the top haha.
remove negative battery terminal.
remove engine cover.
remove coil packs.
remove spark plugs
so further. its not too bad, i went intonot knowing anything!.
and came out with a new built head and a smooth running car=]=]

 

Sounds easy enough... oh, and thanks for the tip Keegan, I'll be sure to keep it in mind

 

6 hours??!?! You're kidding right? It should take a 12th of that tops.

Brad, don't waste your time taking off either manifold, the coilpacks, or the sparkplugs. That's all unnecessary.

 

^noted, thanks

 

i started this project knowing NOTHING about these cars.
i had no clue what i was doing and no clue what i was getting into. also i took out the plugs and coil packs cause i also replaced those with new coils packs from an s4 and new ngk plugs.
and i took off both manifolds also because i was replacing the gaskets.
ALSO because i cleaned the entire head all 20 valves replaced, valve guides replaced.

here is wheni first pulled my head 12 valves bent all 8 exhaust and 4 intake


and this is what a $73.89 sodium filled exhaust valve looks like (i bought 8)


and this is when i was done and had all my new lifter and cams new chain and adjuster all new seals, gaskets and CLEANED up.


so maybe if i did it again now that i know what im doing i could probably have it done in 12th of the time it took me the first time.
