Laser 6253 Diesel Camshaft/ Head Rebuild Kit - VAG/Porsche

The Laser 6253 is an essential cylinder head rebuild kit for VAG and Porsche CR Diesel engines. This set is equivalent to the OEM tooling required to allow the camshafts to be correctly fitted into the cylinder head.

This is necessary because the cylinder heads on these engines are designed with a camshaft retaining frame that splits from the cylinder head along the centre line of the cam bearing caps, making the job require higher accuracy.

When refitting the existing or new camshafts, they need to be assembled correctly in the retaining frame and then clamped in place while assembling to the cylinder head. The camshafts must be installed with the camshaft fitting jig, otherwise the camshaft bearings in the retaining frame will be destroyed, and the cylinder head must be replaced.

The set comprises the jig, plus various camshaft support fixtures, locking devices and gear tooth alignment clamps. It is completed with a robust manufacture and carry case for long term reliability.
