Nice work! I'll be waiting for more videos from You. :D Wear like that on oem camshaft isn't something strange for old soviet cars, they had good engineers but it was hard to get a good material to build a car for the common people. The best stuff was for military usage and even that wasn't always the case. Try to avoid old oem parts as much as You can and stick to used or new replacements made from better materials, otherwise You will put a lot of work into something that very fast become unreliable again. New sport camshaft made in Poland from good materials for this engine is around 200eur, it seems to be pricey but it will last for decades in this engine.

Do you know how to replace the valve guides? I am unable to comletely remove the Valve Seals bcs they are to old and remain in the valve guides when trying to pull them out.

[@Jibuha]

I used a small hammer and something that is the same size as the valve guides. I think it was a 8mm head, gently tapping it should do the job.
Do you want to replace them only because you cant take the seals off?

@@Jibuha I also tried that in both directions, there isnt any circlip, right?
Two Guides got dented while i was trying to "clean" them with a screw driver.

[@Jibuha]

@@philippwende8220 there is a circlip. It only goes out in one direction. One of mine broke too and it took some time to clean it up, make sure you take youtime. Text me on istagram with pics or telegram.
