how to remove timing belt and put in cams and some other stuff

[tsiboost14]

Hey guys i have a 97 tsi 7 bolt and i am replacing my lifters because they got the famous tick. i already know how to remove the cams, rockers, and lifters but im not sure how to exactly remove the timing belt. take note im keeping the motor in the car because its my daily and i don't have time to tear out the motor. 1st off how do i get the timing belt off? 2nd after im done replacing the lifters and i have the rockers and lifters back in does it matter what way i put the cams back in? i know the exhaust cam and the intake cam go to their separate spots but i mean does it matter what way they go in or do the cams have to sit a certain way? and last but not least will doing all of this especially the cams and timing belt once its all back together will it ruin my timing or should it start right up? also what lifters should i go with and how much would they be?

The first thing I would do is go buy a shop manual for the car and read over the whole sections on the head disassembly the timing and the timing belt. Maybe read it 2-3 times before you start.

Nothing worse than a greasy cell phone, trying to read it and work on a car at the same time.

Because yes, the cams need to be reinstalled a very specific way, or your car won't start again without new valves...

Print it out, read it and understand it not that hard. You need a tool to compress the tensioner.

Throw the tensioner in a vice and use a small allen for pinSet cams and make sure to torque everything
