Volkswagen 2.0 TSI Timing Tensioner Fail. Bent Valves! Ep.1

[@ivanvega2821]

What’s the name of the giant c clamp you used to removal the retainers for the springs??

[@PetesWorkshop]

It’s a valve spring removal tool. I made mine out of a 17mm deep socket and an F clamp.

That Nulon product looks pretty good. Did the timing belt jump one notch?

[@PetesWorkshop]

To be honest, the chemical products don’t work that well. Best to use bead blasting or walnut shell blasting. Not a timing belt on this engine it’s a chain. Once any valves are bent, the cylinder head must come off, so no point in checking how many teeth are skipped.
