Audi A8 4.2 ABZ 1997 Cam Timing - rewx5 2015-08-16 10:28:34 (5533 views)
- Set the main crank at top dead center, look how these O O line up on the cams on both sides. - TerminA8r 2015-08-17 13:11:31 (5483 views)
  - The belt is not on the engine. If i turn the camshafts one by one the O O-s line up 100% correctly! - rewx5 2015-08-17 13:13:37 (5136 views)
    - Okay, is the main crank at top dead center? - TerminA8r 2015-08-17 13:23:21 (5183 views)
      - TDC  -  rewx5  2015-08-17 13:26:23 (5075 views)
        
        Okay, good.  -  TerminA8r  2015-08-17 13:48:01 (5047 views)
        
        Already done this, had no compression at all! I could freely spin the crankshaft.   -  rewx5  2015-08-17 13:49:47 (5028 views)
        
        No compression on any cylinder?  -  TerminA8r  2015-08-17 13:53:37 (5089 views)
        
        Nope, didn't feel any resistance.   -  rewx5  2015-08-17 13:54:19 (5044 views)
        
        Spark plugs in or out?   -  TerminA8r  2015-08-17 13:55:07 (5040 views)
        
        In of course.   -  rewx5  2015-08-17 13:56:13 (4984 views)
        
        Sounds like it time to pull the heads then, likely bent valves on both sides.   -  TerminA8r  2015-08-17 13:57:51 (5033 views)
        
        That sounds quite terrible to me :\   -  rewx5  2015-08-17 14:11:54 (5024 views)
        
        Well, if the main crank moves the pistons and the timing belt moves the cams correctly, then  -  TerminA8r  2015-08-17 14:22:30 (5070 views)
        
        Well, the car was mine, but the engine wasn't.   -  rewx5  2015-08-17 14:23:19 (5027 views)
        
        My money is on bent valves.......   -  TerminA8r  2015-08-17 14:34:21 (5025 views)
        
        Yep, might be right. Checked once again. details + pics below   -  rewx5  2015-08-17 14:58:00 (5246 views)
        
        That main crank looks quite a bit off!?   -  TerminA8r  2015-08-17 15:35:04 (5094 views)
        
        You were right. Had one more abz engine handy, tried the O O + TDC method  -  rewx5  2015-08-18 08:39:00 (5075 views)
        
        Glad to help.   -  TerminA8r  2015-08-18 10:54:09 (5109 views)
        
        All valves bent on intake side   -  rewx5  2015-08-18 12:28:18 (5166 views)
        
        You have resolved the mystery! Well done. Halfway there.   -  TerminA8r  2015-08-18 13:27:29 (5085 views)
        
        However, back to the TDC Situation.   -  rewx5  2015-08-18 14:09:27 (5183 views)
        
        To shed some more light on the subject,  -  TerminA8r  2015-08-18 14:47:05 (5064 views)
        
        Will do just that + keep you updated.  -  rewx5  2015-08-18 15:40:02 (5009 views)
        
        It's a little more complicated than that, but in short, yes.  -  TerminA8r  2015-08-18 16:57:45 (5028 views)
        
        Progress update. Today was a really long journey.   -  rewx5  2015-08-19 13:35:53 (5936 views)
        
        Looking great! Good thing you are not in the US - the EPA would murder you for that cleaning job.   -  TwoSeven  2015-08-19 13:48:52 (5056 views)
        
        I cringed when I saw that, too. Poor whales....   -  Dave Doolittle  2015-08-19 20:00:34 (5005 views)
        
        When in Rome do as the Romans do. ;) ;)  -  TerminA8r  2015-08-19 14:10:10 (5003 views)
        
        Update! The BEAST is alive! ;)   -  rewx5  2015-08-22 12:13:47 (5114 views)
        
        Well done!! Thrilled that you were able raise the D2 from the grave.   -  TerminA8r  2015-08-22 15:13:30 (5024 views)
        
        Some more pics ;)   -  rewx5  2015-08-22 16:10:43 (5088 views)
        
        nice work!   -  Dave Doolittle  2015-08-22 14:05:04 (4950 views)
        
        Into the driveway is not so bad  -  hyperlogos  2015-08-20 09:30:04 (5001 views)
        
        Well the heads were washed at a manual car wash. They must be prepared to have oil in the drains too   -  rewx5  2015-08-20 13:06:26 (4976 views)
        
        Wow, can't believe you got all that done in ONE day! Great job! You are hired.   -  TerminA8r  2015-08-19 13:48:37 (5030 views)
        
        Thank you!  -  rewx5  2015-08-19 01:33:39 (5024 views)
        
        I told you that you would make some new friends!   -  PaulW  2015-08-19 13:20:15 (4999 views)
        
        Haha Paul, you were damn right :)   -  rewx5  2015-08-19 13:25:39 (4995 views)
        
        Already changed crankshaft / oilpump seal :)   -  rewx5  2015-08-18 13:35:12 (5033 views)
        
        As I said, TDC is off from the original marking. No idea why.   -  rewx5  2015-08-17 15:42:11 (5013 views)
        
        Have you tried to get the crank pulley lined up properly with the TDC indicator?  -  TwoSeven  2015-08-17 17:04:18 (5016 views)
        
        The crank pulley is keyed, there is no way of putting it on other way.  -  rewx5  2015-08-17 18:01:00 (5041 views)
        
        Again no experience with 32v but are you suppose to use #1 or #5 cyl   -  Torsion'sA8  2015-08-17 19:47:59 (5031 views)
        
        That's always a valid question because Audi's TDC isn't always keyed to the #1 cylinder.  -  Dave Doolittle  2015-08-17 19:53:03 (5097 views)
        
        The answer is #1.  -  hyperlogos  2015-08-17 20:16:37 (5053 views)
        
        You would be hard pressed to get compression when rotating by hand...  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-08-17 20:30:01 (5009 views)
- Don't let her die like this :') - rewx5 2015-08-17 11:03:53 (5242 views)

- I would never ever start an ABZ without using the cam lock tools for the belt. - Meatwad: Morgan Freeman Voice 2015-08-16 18:07:27 (5177 views)
- Someone will have pictures with the valve covers off, there is some type of marking - PaulW 2015-08-16 15:49:55 (5052 views)
- I just went through this on the 40v engine... - Torsion'sA8 2015-08-16 11:01:01 (5084 views)
  - The cams are locked at the back of the 32V engine, not the front, and... - skiracer 2015-08-16 11:33:56 (5093 views)
  - Abz does not use a cam bar. There are tools for it though - audinutt 2015-08-16 11:33:03 (5092 views)
    - OOOPS, disregard my last - Torsion'sA8 2015-08-16 11:47:46 (5028 views)
  - Cam - rewx5 2015-08-16 11:13:49 (5069 views)
    - Doing it without the tools is bananas - hyperlogos 2015-08-17 09:08:12 (5012 views)
    - It can be done without the manual but - Torsion'sA8 2015-08-16 11:45:06 (5071 views)
    - Your location? D2 forum members are everywhere it seems. - skiracer13 2015-08-16 11:27:20 (5033 views)

        Well we have one but I don't think he'll be going back to the old country anytime soon.  -  skiracer13  2015-08-16 20:29:13 (5012 views)
        
        Some pictures, not sure if that little dot on the camshaft pulley means something?   -  rewx5  2015-08-17 06:09:55 (5072 views)
        
        Here are your pictures   -  PaulW  2015-08-17 08:42:55 (5226 views)
        
        Tried lining up chain sprockets (2 circles have to face eachother)  -  rewx5  2015-08-17 09:25:41 (5035 views)
        
        You can figure out which cylinder is number 1  -  PaulW  2015-08-17 10:07:46 (5064 views)
