Thinking of tackling this project this summer (mainly to just replace the cam tensioner/chain, but maybe I'll do the intake cam as well. what the hell).
Have a couple of questions:
I've read that you can replace the intake cam without removing the timing belt and thus relieving tension on the exhaust cam. Bentley and ELSA both say to take it off but then again, they are assuming you are replacing both. Any recommendations? Is it best just to follow Audi's instructions?
Removing Cam girdle sealant:
I hear this is a PITA. I recently got a walnut blaster for cleaning the carbon from my intake valves and it did a great job. Can I use it to get rid of the old sealant, or is that a bad idea?
Thanks
