Cylinder Head Removal and Installation / 
< Clean contact edges  of cylinder head  face and VANOS  unit 
and apply  a thin coat  of permanently elastic Three  Bond 
1209 8 or equivalent to  suriaces. 
CAUTION- 
Check locating dowel (A) and dowel  sleeve (B) at top  of 
cylinder  head for damage  or incorrect installation. 
Make sure  all gasket  material  is removed  from face of 
cylinder  head. Clean sealing  face and keep free  of oil. 
If any  foreign  material  is present  on the  sealing  surface, 
the camshaft timing will  be incorrect. 
- Install new steel gasket to front  of cylinder head  and install 
VANOS  unit. 
NOTE - 
If VANOS control unit is being  replaced,  be sure  to check and 
adjust  camshaft timing  as described  in 
11 7 Camshaft Tim- 
ing  Chain.

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.
