Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
Label and disconnect fuel lines from fuel rail by pressing lock-
ing sleeves
(arrows) in to release lines.
NOTE-
BMW uses three styles of fuel line connections; a single use
clamp; a locking fitting that uses special tool
16 1 050 to re-
lease; and a quick release sleeve
(arrow) that disconnects
the line when depressed.
CAUTION-
Fuel may be expelled under pressure. Do not smoke or
work near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire
exfin-
guisher handy Before disconnecting fuel hoses, wrap a
cloth around fuel hoses to absorb
leaking fuel. Plug all
I ooen fuel lines. I
Always unscrew fuel tank cap to release pressure in
tank before
removinq fuel lines.
Cap fuel lines and fuel rail inlets.
Disconnect vacuum lines
(A, B and C) from rear of intake
manifold.
Working at rear of intake manifold, disconnect crankcase
ventilation valve from pipe by prying up on lock
(A) and slid-
ing tube forward
(B).

- Remove intake manifold as described earlier
- Remove left side exhaust manifold. See 180 Exhaust Sys-
tem.
- Drain engine coolant, then remove viscous clutch cooling
fan. See
170 Radiator and Cooling System.
WARNING -
Use extreme caution when draining and disposfng of eng~ne
coolant. Coolant is poisonous and lethal to humans andpets.
Pets are attracted to coolant because of its sweet smell and
taste.
Seek med~cal attention immediately if coolant is ingest-
ed.

Oil pressure, checking
The oil pressure warning switch is located at the base of the
oil filter housing.
In 6-cylinder engines access to oil pressure warning switch
connector (arrow) is extremely restricted (intake manifold re.
moved for the purpose of illustration).
V-8 engine oil pressure warning switch (arrow) is at base of
oil filter housing on left engine compartment inner fender.
Oil pressure is tested by removing oil pressure switch and in-
stalling oil pressure gauge in its place.
Unscrew oil filter cap in order to allow engine oil to drain back
down into oil pan.
Disconnect harness connector from oil pressure switch and
remove switch.
NOJE-
Thoroughly clean around the oil pressure switch before
removing it.
Be prepared to catch leaking oil with a shop towel.
- Install pressure gauge in place of oil pressure switch,
- With gauge installed, start engine and allow to reach operat-
ing temperature. Check oil pressure. See Table b.
NOJE-
For the most accurate test results, the engine oil and filter
should be new. The oil should be the correct grade.
Table b. Engine oil pressure
At idle 0.5 bar (7 psi)
At elevated speed
6-cylinder engine 4.0 bar

< 6-cylinder models: Remove intake manifold to access oil
pressure switch
(arrow).
V-8 models: Oil pressure warning switch (arrow) is located
under oil filter housing mounted to left inner fender panel.
NOTE-
Any time the oilpressure warning switch is removed, be sure
to replace the sealing washer.

Drain engine oil before attempting to remove level warning
switch.
Be sure to refill engine and check for leaks after work is
completed.
NOTE-
Any time the oil level warning switch is removed, be sure to
replace the sealing O-ring between switch and oil pan.

- Disconnect harness connector from VANOS solenoid and
unscrew solenoid from VANOS control unit. Be prepared with
shop rags to catch oil released from VANOS unit.
Remove camshaft sensor (arrow) from
left front of cyl~nder
head, next to top of oil filter housing.
Disconnect camshaft sensor harness from under intake
manifold. Prior to removal, attach a stiff piece of wire to the
harness connector end to preserve proper routing of harness
for reinstallation.
Installation is reverse of removal, noting the following:
Use new O-rings when installing sensor and solenoid.
Be sure wiring is rerouted in same orientation.
