Let's replace the timing chains on the highest mileage Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. What I show works on the Lamborghini Gallardo from 2004-2008 but is VERY similar to what is seen in the LP Gallardo from 2009-2014 and the R8 V8 and R8 V10 and the Audi B6/B7 S4 and Audi B7 RS4. This timing system is also seen on almost all Audi/VW 4.2 FSI motors from 2003 and up! The 330 HP FSI 4.2L Audi motor has VVT on the intake cam. What I show you are applicable to the 420HP FSI 4.2 Audi motor with both intake and exhaust cam VVT seen in the b7 rs4 and r8 v8.
We review how to remove the cylinder heads on a DOHC/ dual overhead cam motor with variable valve timing. We review what timing tools you need for doing a proper service on the Gallardo 5.0 motor. We then review how to replace the timing chains on the short block.
We also review how to install the cylinder heads back on and finally time the motor to OEM specifications.
