Cylinder Head Removal Walkthrough, Audi A4 w/ broken timing chain |ST3Works| Ep.1 

haha, it happens...figured I'd leave it in there lol. Glad you got a kick out of it!

I watched the video about 10times already!!! I have a b7 with a 1.8t currently getting my head gasket and cylinder head changed

Right on! It's always nice to hear that you and others are still finding this helpful. Thanks for the comment man!

@@tylerstewart7034 thanks for this very helpful - but i dont see part 2 = help

Thanks man! Yea, that one bolt is a bastard. Good luck with the build! I'll try to get some more content up soon. Thanks for the sub

Yea, you got to jack the car up and use an extension with swivel from under

I am a woman. Is there some one who can fix my car the mechanic swap out my catalytic converter and spark plugs coil harness to his car my car sounds loud ticking ng sound.

Thanks man!

Hey Marc, thanks for the comment man. Good luck with the new project!

Darth Bancid it’s not really that complicated. You can actually pull the head, cams, exhaust and intake all off as one piece

Nice, thanks for the tip man. Will have to try that next time.

lol Yea, good eye. It's a 91' 325i

@@tylerstewart7034 Awesome! I love the 3 series up till about '92 - Love the headlights!

Glad you found it helpful man. I suppose you could do it that way, but then you'd have to pull all the exhaust studs...plus there's not much room to maneuver in there to being with. It might come out okay, but could end up being more work in the long run. Just my opinion. Give it a try.

Hello Tyler! I wanted to give you update in appreciation for your video. I wasnt able to take head without removing turbo assembly cause that manifold was locked by some brackets attached to head with 4 bolts. I came to find my timing belt broke causing the exhaust cam to misalign. Rocker arms came loose and springs on valves seem compressed. Im scared too look at the timing chain... i was hoping you can slip me some tips 😌😁. I really cant figure why the rocker arms laying on the spring doesn't contact the exhaust camshaft to point where one was just off to the side when taking of valve cover. The inake rocker arms make sturdy contact with no room for wiggle room and looks appriopriately timmed. all exhaust valves are stuck open that i cant figure why but my pistons seemed to have recieved a sweet 💋 kiss. So little so it looks like the mark may buff out. Strangely its on intake side, and not ehaust where valves r stuck. Im not sure if this is cause for absoulute new pistons cause im not looking foward to such a job. The circumference looks intact but i also dont know what to make of pistons as they look aftermarket with Sharpe "V+"U" angle to them. Thank you again sir for the help youve given!

@@psuedonym8344 Hey. Right on, you got it all apart... I hear you tho, inspecting the damage is a bit scary because all the extra work it could entail. Sounds like you'll be rebuilding the head at the minimum. My pistons were kissed as well. If I was a gambling man, I'd say they're probably fine, but then again, you dont want to have to do all that work again down the road if you're wrong. It is possible that the connecting rods may be cracked/bent. I would recommend inspecting them before putting things back together. That's kind of where I left off with mine before I got distracted with other projects. Wish I could be of more help man. Let me know how you make out with it!

@@tylerstewart7034 Update: yo! Im about to finish up this week! Its been a long time coming cause i keep getting blindsided with "im already here i might as well" and have been waiting for shipping parts constantly. I have one last question dough! Is my first engine so i may sound silly. When i timed the engine (camshafts/chain/bolts/sprocketwas broke) i believe 2 exhaust valves in clydiner 2 and 2 intake valves in cylinder 3 are starting to open(the cylinder head is not installed in engine with the 10 bolts). Is this normal for timing or should all valves be closed. I cant find it anywhere and im not sure if im thinking to much in it since cylinder was not on block and i just happen to see the valves Im hoping to pick up another vw audi for hobby like you thanks for the inspiration.

its a 10 polydrive

Lol, not sure what you mean man. Cylinder 1 is towards the front of the vehicle, and the procedure I use to find tdc is straight out of the manual.

@@tylerstewart7034 what is the procedure?

That's too bad man, seems to be a common issue with these motors as they get older, unfortunately. Good luck with it!

there is a timing belt from crank to exhaust cam. then there is a timing chain at the other end of the engine, that links the exhaust cam to the intake cam. that chain has a VVT cylinder (held by a stupid polydrive bolt), and a tensioner.

I was thinking the same thing. Video is a really good one too.
