4 Disconnect electrical harness connections at exhaust cam-
shaft position sensor and exhaust camshaft VANOS control
valve (arrows).
4 Remove banjo bolt from VANOS unit oil pressure line. Use
banjo bolt to attach
BMW special tool 11 3 450 (compressed
air fitting) to VANOS control unit.
CAUTIOI\C
Oil will drain from pressure line. Have a drain container and
rags ready Do not allow oil to run onto drive belts.
4 Cover oil hole (arrow) in VANOS unit with shop towel to cap-
ture oil which will spray when compressed air is applied.
- Connect compressed air line to air fitting. Apply air pressure
set to
2-8 bar (30-1 15 psi).
4 With compressed air line connected, rotate engine at vibra-
tion damper in direction of rotation (clockwise) at least twice,
until cylinder 1 intake and exhaust camshaft lobes face each
other (arrows) in the top dead center (TDC) position for cyl-
inder
1.
CAUTION--
Do not rotate engine counterclocltwise to reach the top dead
center position. If engine rotated beyond top dead center;
complete another two complete rotations.

I Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
< Turn eccentric shaft of special tool to pretension intake cam-
shaft bearing caps. Remove nuts on all intake camshaft bear-
ing caps.
- Slowly release tension on eccentric shaft and remove BMW
spec~al tools. Remove bearing caps and set as~de in order.
Remove camshaft and store safely.
- Repeat procedure for exhaust camshaft.
4 Secure hydraulic lifters in lifter bores using BMW speclal tool
11 3 250, or remove lifters using a magnetic pick-up tool.
With lifters secure or removed, lift out camshaft bearing car-
riers from cylinder head.
Use care to not let hydraulic lifters fall out as camshaft car-
rier is removed.
Hydraulic lifters should be stored
ln an uprightpositlon.
Used hydraulic lifters must be reinstalled into their orig-
inal lifter bores.
4 Remove intake camshaft position sensor (arrow) from side
of cylinder head.
4 Remove secondary chain lowerguide bolts (arrow). Remove
chain guide.

Turn engine over twice in direction of rotation until cylinder 1
intake and exhaust camshaft lobes (arrows) face each other.
- Lock crankshaft in TDC position with BMW special tool
11 2 300.
4 Place BMW special tool set 11 3 240 over camshafts and
measure clearances.
NOTE-
@ If the exhaust side of the tool (A) is not flush with the head,
camshaft timing is incorrect. Reset camshaft timing as de-
scribed in 11
7 Camshaft Timing Chain.
Due to flexible sprocket design, VANOS unit tolerances
and play in the VANOS splines, when the camshaft timing
is set correctly, the intake side of special tool set
11 3 240
(B) may be up to 1 mm (0.04 in.) above the suiface of the
cylinder head. This is normal. Reassemble engine. Other-
wise, reset camshaft timing as describedin 1
l?Camshaft
Timing Chain.
- Remove BMW special tool 11 6 150 from front of cylinder
head.
4 Clean contact edges of cylinder head face and VANOS unit
and apply a thin coat of Three Bond
12090 or equivalent
sealing compound to surfaces.
CAUTION-
Male sure all gasket material is removed from face of cyl-
inder head. Clean sealing face and keep free of oil.
Check locating dowel
(A) and dowel sleeve (B) at top
of cylinder head for damage or incorrect installation.
- Using a new steel gasket, install VANOS unit to front of cyi-
inder head. See 117 Camshaft Timing Chain.
NOTE-
If VANOS control unit is being replaced, be sure to check and
adjust camshaft timing as described in 117 Camshaft Tim-
ing Chain.
- Reinstall engine lifting eye.
- Reconnect electrical harness connectors to camshaft posi-
tion sensors and
VANOS solenoid valves.
