Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
This group covers cylinder head removal and installation as
well as cylinder
headlvalve diagnostic procedures.
In the procedures in this repair group, engines are referred to
by engine code. If necessary, see
100 Engine-General for
engine code and application information.
The information given in this repair group assumes that the
engine is installed in the engine bay. On the
6-cylinder en-
gines, the VANOS control unit must be removed in orderto re-
move the cylinder head from the engine block. On
M52TU
and M54 engines, camshafts must be removed from the cylin-
der head before the head is removed.
The cylinder head removal and installation procedures for the
M62 V-8 are also included, butthe proceduresforthe M62TU
V-8 with VANOS are not provided.
For cylinder head and valvetrain reconditioning information,
see
116 Cylinder Head and Valvetrain.
For specific repair procedures, refer to the appropriate repair
group:
020 Maintenance
116 Cylinder Head and Valvetrain
117 Camshaft Timing Chain
170 Radiator and Cooling System
610 Component locations
NOTE-
If a head gasket problem is suspected, a compression test or
leak-down test will usually detect the fault See Diagnostic
Testing later
in this group.
Special tools
Special BMW service tools are required to properly remove
and install the cylinder head on engines covered by this man-
ual. The special tools are used to time the valvetrain to the
crankshaft, and to remove the VANOS control unit, the cam-
shafts and the
Tom (El2) head bolts. Read the entire proce-
dure through before beginning the job.

- Remove secondary timing chain and sprockets:
Remove mounting nuts from front of intake camshaft
sprocket. Remove and label shim.
CAUTION-
Hold the camshaft stationary (at hex on camshaft) when loos-
ening or tightening sprocket mounting fasteners.
Remove mounting nuts from front of exhaust camshaft
sprocket and remove and label thrust washer.
NOTE-
Where applicable, make note of thrust washerpositions. The
thicker
(0.4 mm) washer is mounted outermost.
- Remove secondary sprockets together with camshaft tim-
ing chain from front of camshafts.
CAUTION-
The camshafts must be locledin the TDCposition using the
special service tool as described earlier: The arrows on the
sprockets should not be used to accurately set the engine to
TDC. The tool holds the camshafts parallel to each other and
NOTE-
Do not remove the sprocl

Iceep the sproclefs timed to each other:
CAUTIOI\C
The crankshaft must not be allowed to rotate once the cam-
shaft timing chain is removed. The pistons can
contact the
valves.
Unscrew timing chain guide and remove.
Lift off primary sprocket with chain.
Secure chain with wire to prevent chain from dropping into
lower timing cover.
Unscrew timing case cover to cylinder head bolts (arrows).
NOTE-
Photo shows timing chain guide in place; it should first be re-
moved as described previously.
Remove crankshaft locking tool
(BMW special tool 11 2 300).
Using the crankshaft vibration damper bolt, turn engine op-
posite of normal direction of rotation (counterclocltwise as
viewed from the front) approximately 30". This prevents ac-
cidental contact between valves and pistons during installa-
tion.

4 Cylinder head bolt loosening sequence.
- Using BMW special tool 11 2 250 or an equivalent tool, loos-
en cylinder head bolts in sequence. Discard head bolts.
- Separate the cylinder head from the block and remove head.
Evaluate head as described in
116 Cylinder Head and Val-
vetrain.
Cylinder head, installing, M52 engine
If the camshafts were removed and installed while the cylin-
der head was off, a minimum waiting time is required after in-
stalling the camshafts. When the camshafts are removed, the
hydraulic lifters can expand. This expansion can cause in-
creased valve lift when the camshafts are bolted down, result-
ing in open valves.
Camshaft installation waiting times
68" F (20" C) and higher 4 minutes
50.68' F (1 0-20" C) 11 minutes
32-50' F (0-1 0" C) 30 minutes
- Clean cylinder head and gasket surfaces of cylinder block
and all timing chain covers.
CAUTION-
Do not use a metal scraper or wire brush to clean the alumi-
num cylinder head orpistons. If necessary, use a hard wood-
en orplastic scraper. Also available are abrasive discs to be
used in conjunction with an electric drill. Be sure to use the
correct disc for the type of metal being cleaned.
- Remove all debris and fluids from bolt holes and clean with a
thread chaser.
- Check gasket surface of cylinder head and cylinder block for
warpage using a straight edge.
NOTE-
If the cylinder head has been machined, a special 0.3 mm
thicker gasket should be installed. The thicker
gasket is avail-
able from an authorized
BMW dealer.

4 Check that two locating dowels are correctly positioned in
block and are not damaged.
- Apply permanently elastic sealing compound Three Bond
1209 8 to joints where cylinder block joins timing case cover.
- Place new cylinder head gasket on cylinder block.
NOTE-
The word "OBEN" or 'TOP': printed on the gasket, should
face up. The cylinder head
gasket will fit correctly in only one
orientation.
- With camshafts locked in TDC oosition with BMW soecial
tools as described during cylinder head removal,
seicylinder
head in position, guiding primary chain through cylinder head
opening.
NOTE-
* The camshafts must be locl(ed in the TDC position at the
rear of the cylinder head with
BMW special tool I1 3 240
before installing the cylinder head.
Make sure the
cranksha% which had been rotated approx-
imately
30" opposite the direction of engine rotation, is still
in that position before lowering the cylinder head into posi-
tion.
- Lightly lubricate new cylinder head bolts. Loosely install bolts
and their washers, then thread them in until they are finger
tight.
NOTE-
. Torx-type cylinder head bolts should not be reused. They
are stretch-type bolts and must always be replaced when-
ever loosened.
Check that all washers for the cylinder head bolts are in
place before installing the bolts. Some of the washers may
be
stalced to the cylinder head.
CAUTIOI\C
Cylinder head bolts for a cast iron engine block are different
length and require different tightening torque than bolts for an
aluminum cylinder bloclc engines
(95 rnm versus 110 rnm
bolts).
- Install cylinder head-to-lower timing chain cover bolts finger
tight.
< Tighten cylinder head bolts in correct sequence to initial
torque value.

- Inspect secondary chain guide rail and tensioner rail for
grooves caused by chain contact. Replace any part that is
worn.
NOTE-
Inspect timing chain sprocl(ets. Sprockets that have worn
or missing teeth should be replaced.
* If any of the sprockets are being replaced due to wear, the
chain should also be replaced.
If the crankshaft sproclet requir?s replacement, the oil
pump drive sprocket and chain must be removed as de-
scribed under
119 Lubrication System.
