A8L Cam Shaft Removal - Cant get it off

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to remove the cylinder heads from my Audi A8L to repair the valves.  I have removed the main head bolts, the exhaust manifold, air intake manifold,  and coolant lines.  I have been able to break the head loose, but I cannot get it to come completely off.  I'm not sure what is holding it on.  I would appreciate any information to help me completely remove the head.

 

Thank you

You might have the camchains.........

 

I'd have thought a 'heads off' job would be an engine out job too.  The cams (IIRC) are at the back, as they are chain driven now and not a 80K mile belt - so don't need changing.

 

Have a look here:-
