What exactly you need for the job?Manual how to install timing chain kit on Audi S4 V8 BBK .

Great video as usual! Just finishing up replacing all gaskets and seals(non-timing related) on mine. Nice to have content like this if timing is ever needed to be done. Thanks!

Nice job. Very informative. Thanks for going through the steps to replace timing chains. Also, thanks for the smoke show. Added ambiance.

too much work - editing to do ... but more videos coming this week

[@Heartbeat1991]

I didn’t see his back. 🤔

[@brennanlukas5467]

interesting that you replaced the diamond disks, ive talked to multiple rebuilders here in the united states and none of them replace them unless they are damaged. another interesting note some of them reuse the cam bolts, which I can see as justified after some testing as that plus 90 only marginally stretches the bolt and the total torque is still within spec of the bolt by industry standard. Ill also point you to AMTuned here in the U.S. in florida, He remachines the factory cam gears for 300$ us, the work is quality and they are modified to provide better engagement to prevent the wear from occurring. Overall excellent video, wish i had this a couple months ago while i was doing mine. Cheers

[@Heartbeat1991]

Audi manual says the diamond washers and cam bolts are not reusable. Anyone reusing them does so at their own risk.

[@brennanlukas5467]

@@Heartbeat1991 I know what the manual says, the gentleman I spoke with who gave me that info warranties his rebuilds for 20k miles. I reused the washers in mine but did use new bolts

@@VAGTechnic did it bend valves? ive heard that these are interference engines (and seen the proof) but mine has come untimed 3 times now with no valve collision. both my exhausts have come undone thanks to a torque wrench failure that was only caught after. and yes, you can retorque the intakes in the car with enough grinder action :) cheers

Out of interest, which of the Audi cars (and their engines) have you found to be a) The most reliable, and b) The easiest to work on and rebuild. Love watching these rebuilds - something I would have jumped into doing 10 years ago, but not so much these days.

[@lordfacepalm]

I'd really appreciate a definitive list of which bolts need replacing and part numbers.

[@coultl6556]

Great video. I don’t think the spec for torque on the upper cam chain tensions is correct. The lower two are 10nm but the upper two tensioners are 5nm + 90 degrees. At least that’s what I’m seeing in the factory manual.

[@chrismaund2134]

Brilliant video 👍

[@richardberry4367]

To the guy wanting to do it himself. Good luck

[@lostreality1000]

What would happen if the timing marks for the camshaft intake and exhaust gears are not within the range? My shop says the exhaust gear is off by about 90 degrees. Car started and ran "fine", CEL P0018 G163 is active. Is there a way to know what damage has already been done?

[@narcis87sel]

Best video! Thx

[@coultl6556]

Awesome video. Engine out on my B7 s4 right now and about to do the chains. Quick question. When you tightened the cam bolts did you just use the cam locking plate to hold them in place? I heard it could bend the plate?

[@coultl6556]

Just finished this up and tightened the cam bolts to spec without holding the cams. The chain and cam locks seemed to hold everything just fine.

[@manystylze7927]

Thanks for the video. I am finalizing a parts list for this job. I have the timing chain kit, but did not consider some of the external gaskets mentioned. Also, what kind of brake cleaner were you using? I used some to clean the front of my engine up and it doesn't quite have the finish yours has.

[@ketodotm7599]

tell me, what should be the tightening torque of the connecting rods in a similar BTR motor, there is no data anywhere, thanks in advance

There is no balance shaft. If there was that would need to be locked in time also.

@@VAGTechnic there was a diesel V8 that used the same block. That had balance shafts. There’s two holes at the 4 and 7 o clock positions below that gear. Sometimes they have a block off plate on them, some do not. The upper gear and pedestal are replaced by a gear with a balance shaft gear drive for the two balance shafts on those Diesel engines.
