intake valve cleaning/rotating crank shaft mk7 1.8t

2015 golf 1.8t

Hey,

I want to clean of my intake valves. i have no problems with anything other then fully understanding how i need to rotate the crank shaft to close the valves. Im doing this solo dolo without another pair of hands.

I couldnt find a guide by searching. Probably because im not typing it in right.

Anyways, Can someone please help with a little info on how i should go about closing the intake valves?

steps would be best or even a link to a thread that has it as i couldnt find it myself lol

Rotate the 24mm crank bolt clock wise until you see the valves close in that particular cylinder. 3 cylinders will have closed valves and 1 cylinder will be open, clean 3 sets and then rotate to clean the last one.

will i need to take belts off for that?

No, the drive belt just slightly increases the effort to rotate the crankshaft.
