Vvel

O&G

This is as far as you need to break the head down for pressure testing at a machine shop if you want that done. You might not need to break it down this far. However, if you do, remember everything is torqued to 10lbs on the VVEl craddle and cam caps.





This is a pic of the VVEL assembly section with the solenoid removed, dont do that, LOL! It will just make your life easier.



This is the VVEL assembly internally, there are two allen/star bolts that connect to the VVEL cam that will need to be removed to get the entire assembly off the back of the head.



Cam caps, keep track! They are labled alphabetically and with numbers.



remember to clean all silicon off using whatever means you find easiest. I chose a power tool. Silicon is your friend on reassembly!

The most crucial part is the timing chain, make sure you understand the marks on the chains and cam sprockets and get this done correctly or you will hate your life. The timing chain tensors can be pushed in and held in place with a thumb tack to make dis-assembly and reassembly an ease, there are little holes on the tensors that you can slide the tacks in after you depress the tensor. There are 3 of them you can do this to. Two at the cam(exhaust & intake) sprockets Left and right. One on the center left side of the inside timing cover. Once again everything should be torques to 10lbs, but I mite need to double check that!



sandwich bags, a sharpie, lots of pictures and cleanliness will be your best friends during this process! Don't drink too much beer!

Good luck buddy!
