11 Remove brackets (02a, 02b) from hold-down
tool (01a)
12 Release screws/bolts (04) at hold-down tools
(01a, 01b) until camshafts can be turned
Check

Camshafts are in basic position if edge
(1a) on segment disk (1) of exhaust camshaft
points vertically upwards and positioning
marking (2a) of segment disk (2) points
vertically upwards.
During assembly, screw in screws/bolts
(04) until bearing brackets (03) lie flat on
cylinder head.
Holding device *270589016100
The holding device is not suitable to bring
the exhaust camshaft or intake camshaft in the
position.
This leads to damage on the brackets (02a,
02b) and also possibly to incorrect timing.
Turn exhaust camshaft and intake camshaft
exclusively with socket or screw/bolt (N
000000 005561) in combination with disk
(A604990 0040).
Otherwise, this damages the exhaust
camshaft and intake camshaft.
Camshafts must also be in TDC position
so that brackets (02a, 02b) can be positioned
and attached without pressure.

The final tightening of the control valves
first take place after installation of the chain
tensioner.
When attaching camshaft positioners or
timing chain, make sure that crankshaft does
not turn.

15 Check basic position of camshafts; to do this,
attach brackets (02a, 02b) to hold-down tool Attach brackets (02a, 02b) to hexagon of
(01a) camshafts by hand, without using tool, until
brackets (02a, 02b) lie flat on hold-down tool
(01a).
Damage to the holder (02a, 02b) can occur
otherwise and therefore to incorrect setting of
the timings.
If brackets (02a, 02b) cannot be attached,
repeat work procedure from operation step 3.
16 Remove brackets (02a, 02b) and hold-down
tools (01a, 01b)
17 Install cylinder head cover (3) Engine 274 in model 172 AR01.20-P-5014MRE
