Dude, why not buy a cam locking tool? That block and the camshafts look brand new to me. Why not invest in a locking tool to make them perfect? Also, its NOT a torx bit man. You stripped out the bolt then put it back on a brand new block. A new bolt is extremely cheap man, it should be replaced whenever the job is done. It only gets done once in a blue moon. Also, you re-used the sprocket, those keyways break easily(especially with added tension from the new chain) that old keyway is a ticking time bomb man. Also noticed the tensioner was re-used. There's a lot of big time things you should not do here man. If you're doing this job soon, replace EVERYTHING. The chain, the tensioner, the sprocket(especially the sprocket, I almost lost an engine becuase I didnt) AND the oil release gaskets on the VVT solonoid. Dont just go budgeting for just the chain. This job must be done throughly unless you wanna have this whole thing come apart, send your engine out of time and bend your valves and completely total your engine.
You can get a key spanner for the intake cog to help set the pin into the key way on the out take cog without having to grip the cam like that. Cams are precisely balanced so not a good idea, but you got the job done and theirs usually a point on the intake cog that is the best place to put the connector link of the chain onto
I did this about a year ago. Honestly it's a straight forward job. I think my fear was the possibility of stripping that super tight bolt on the exhaust cam phaser!! That would be the only thing to worry about.
@@curtis-tinolittle late to the comments. I ended up putting some heat with a torque on the cam bolt. Not cherry red but definitely heat it up and lightly hammered the polydrive socket inside and it worked like magic. Thanks for you video man! Doing the Lord’s work!!
@@ivanvega2821 hey man, is there anything you have to look out for in terms of not accidently turning the cams to a position where the pistons would hit the valves, or is that just fear on my side?
Good evening On my golf6 R I mounted a 200bar pump with 2 roller cams my vehicle started to graze and then paff a metallic noise and when accelerating it cuts and to move my vehicle it cuts off clean and takes time to restart. Error code P0088 and P310B, from point of view the PUMP CAMS has turned I am on when I watch your video I see that it is not the same position as mine
This video is incorrect and the timing was off when he set it. There is a dot on the intake cam and it needs to be straight up, there is a dash on the exhaust cam variator count the links between.
Hello, my car is Audi A4 2006 engine ALT. I had noticed that the intake cam sprocket has 2 marks (opposite to each other) one is BIG and one is small the small mark (arrow) is pointing top 12 oclock position with exhaust timing mark, and crankshaft mark are at timing position base on rocker cover. My car had P0341, and I send this car for a check, it showed intake camshaft 18 degree out of sync. please help I tried asking them for a quote to get fix, but then was told they don't know how much ($), and finally they said not adjustable Thanks (Dominic)
At 3:16 he mentions the position of the cam lobes closest to the chain. They need to be in exactly the same point of rotation (facing each other). You can use a straight edge to validate that they are exactly in the same (opposing) position.
How do I know if the chain+ tensioner have to be changed? What are simptons? Check engine light? Some particular sound? Can I do some procedure to check it?
Great view of the back of the engine I'm not gonna replace the chain, just the tensioner(and was not sure if the exhaust cam -sprocket was in the way) and he's right this is not an over thinking process hell you could just just take out the intake cam to match the exhaust cam 180 degrees opposite the number #4 cylinder he's right.
I have a question. I recently had my head sent out to be refurbished and I got it back. I installed it on the block and I placed the timing on the belt. When I rotate the motor by hand as its coming to full rotation the exhaust cam rotates normally but the intake cam stops rotating for about a 90 degrees then springs in to normal rotation. What do you think im missing? Or have you seen this before?
@@tylerbolles7529 I did another one of these jobs a couple months later. It looks like the rear chain tensioner wasn't tightening with oil pressure. Check oil pressure and make sure the timing chain tensioner is working properly.
Little late but there is a pin In the adjuster on the exhaust cam that locks it. I experienced this and the pin had sheared the base plate and made it where it would not lock. Basically at low oil pressure and no oil pressure it'll be like this. Possible to bend valves

It’s not torx55 don’t give out wrong info and wreck the adjuster. Its polydrive number 10

Thank you sir But unfortunately using the wrong tools for any job can dangerous
This dude didn't even explain half of the damn process. He failed to show both timing marks on the chains.
Why didn't you replace the bolt?
Good
Best regards, does the chain tensioner have a gasket? Thanks in advance
Does the vvt turns freely
Always outside the engine bay.
Thanks a lot for sharing this bro! This is very helpful. This is by far the most important step. 💯👍✌️💥
Thank you
Excellent and easy technique to the best, no difficulty at all
Get the right locking bar £30 locked both cams in-line then do same as him
It’s not a torx bolt it’s poly drive
I've been terrified of doing this job since buying my car and this is by far the best video I've seen. Much appreciated sir

@@slaaayx hey man, the hard part would have to be stripping the cam bolt.
@@ivanvega2821 i appreciate your answer, thanks a lot. im about to try this myself
That's NOT a torx that holds the phaser in place, so don't try to torque it with one!
Sys May problem
NOT a torx T55 - it's a Polydrive 10MM. Please heed this warning.
how did you know where to start the intake cam?
Excellent technique 👌 Keep it in time. It's safe to do it this way It saves time and extra work. Thanks for the video man.
OMG The next Video will show us small pieces of metal from camshaft in the engine oil.
This is hands down the worst guid I've ever seen how many people watched this and bent valves!
Real proz speak soft and lazy
Is there a TDC mark for the intake cam as well? I didn't see the process to stage the intake cam? Please
Yes it is on the Cam Sprocket side, make sure the sprocket is in place along with the backing plate, then line it up - Morton
the bolt for the vvt on the chain side is with 55 Riebe not Torx 55!!!!! Anyway...i like the way you worked to put the chain on. God bless you man!
GREAT VIDEO!!
how do you know where to put the intake cam?
This guy will never respond
Nice video but you don t damage the camshaft the way u hold it ?
so its non interference engine?
its interference

How to set oil pump fsi turbo
thanks so much for the tips n tricks, but the intake cam goes a bit wrong even if i hold the axes right>? with the tools
Thanks for the video, the countersunk bolt is rounded off as the tool you'll need is T40080.

whats the warpage tolerance for this head?
The vice grips trick really helped like a charm. Thanks dude!
Stop making videos your aren't setting up the timing correctly
So how do you even line up intake cam?
At 3:16 he mentions the position of the cam lobes closest to the chain. They need to be in exactly the same point of rotation (facing each other). You can use a straight edge to validate that they are exactly in the same (opposing) position.
Worst video of this ever. No detail. No specifics. Not even showing anyone the mark on the chain and which dots etc.
How do you set time up the intake cam
He has no idea

Same thing going on with me.. did you ever figure it out?

Is this vvt unit also badly worn inside the hole where bolt comes and need changing? Worn because of metal seals on chain cover?
Great video man!
How do you remove the bolt of the camshaft adjuster clockwise or anti clockwise I always find it hard to take it off
It would be anti clockwise like any normal bolt
Which two cam are facing each other? I would assume the intake and exhaust cam for cylinder #1 are both facing up?
No. It is cylinder 4. The lobes for each should be doing the "hitler salute" to each other (less than 45-degrees).
