4. Cylinder HeadThe cylinder head can be removed from the engine for repairs without first removing the engine from the car, and many cylinder head repairs can be accomplished without removing the cylinder head from the engine. The cylinder head cover gasket, the camshaft(s), the camshaft drive belt, the camshaft oil seal, the valve guide oil seals, and the cam followers are all accessible with the cylinder head installed. Reconditioning the cylinder head is not overly complicated, but requires time and an extensive tool selection. If good machine shop services are not available in your area, or time is a factor, installation of a remanufactured cylinder head is an alternative. Remanufactured cylinder heads are available from an authorized Volkswagen dealer. |
