Cylinder head removal

[93green12v]

Does anyone have a service manual/ procedure for head removal? Engine code is CBEA. Pistons hit the valves so I’m pulling the head off to see what needs to be repaired. Dealer wanted 5400 bucks for the repair and that’s about half of what the car is worth. So any help would be great.

did the TB snap or what happened?

Taking off the head should be exactly the same as on a CJAA motor.

VW TDI 2.0L CJAA Engine Head Removal

I have engine stripped. Injectors & cam cover tray off and saw head bolts (triple square which I have). The cams are in the way of head bolts. Is that correct you have to remove the cam galley girdle and cams? EDIT: You do NOT have to remove cams. The Cam shaft has divots in the shaft...

No the serpentine belt shredded and jammed up into the timing belt and spun 180* off. I just got the head off tonight and see minimal valve contact. Barely noticeable and hard to see if any valves are bent.

I just did a brm that had the serp belt break and wrapped up on the crank....couldnt see any Mark's on pistons but 4 valves were bent. My machine shop cks them.....its tough to see the slightly bent ones while still in the head

It’s cost me $150 for the machine shop to go thru the head and check it out. Had two bent valves.

So going forward putting this back together they marked the cams with paint on the teeth to re time them when assembling the head back together. Did all of this put the timing belt on and timed. Bled the fuel system and tried turning the car over. Seems like my timing is off. Got smoke coming out of intake and the turbo exhaust housing feels like it’s sucking. I’m gonna retime the belt again and go from there.
