I Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
Lubricate camshafts, camshaft carriers, bearing caps, hy-
draulic lifters, friction washers, splined shafts and spline hubs
with assembly lubricant before installation.
4 Check that two cylinder head aligning sleeves (arrows) are
correctly positioned in block and are not damaged.
- Apply elastic sealing compound Three Bond 1209 8 to cor-
ner joints on cylinder block to timing chain cover.
- Place new cylinder head gasket on cylinder block.
NOTE-
The word "OBEN" or "TOP printed on the gasket, should
face up. The cylinder headgaslet will fit correctly in only one
orientation.
- Set cylinder head in position, guiding primary chain through
cylinder head opening.
CAUJION-
Make sure the crankshaft, which had been rotated approxi-
mately 30" opposite the direction of engine rotation from
TDC, is still in thatposition before lowering the cylinder head
into position. All pistons must be out of TDC position to pre-
vent
valve/piston interference when the camshafts are in-
stalled.
- Lightly lubricate new cylinder head bolts and washers with
oil. Install bolts and washers finger tight. Install cylinder head
to lower timing chain cover bolts finger tight.
NOJE-
Cylinder head bolts should not be reused. They are
stretch-type bolts and must be replaced whenever loos-
ened.
* Aluminum cylinder blocls use different length cylinder
head bolts and torque values than cast iron blocks.
Check that all washers for
Nle head bolts are in place be-
fore installing the bolts. Some of the washers may be
staked to the cylinder head.
I 12 10 4 2 6 8 141 Tighten cylinder head bolts in correct sequence (1-14)
CA U TIOW-
The bolts should be tightened in three stages as listed below
The final stages require the use of a BMW special tool
11 2
110 or a suitable protractor to tighten the bolts to a specified
torque angle.

Drive timing cover dowels in until they just protrude slightly
from sealing surface.
Apply a small bead of silicon sealer (Three Bond 1209
63
or equivalent) to corners of cylinder head where timing
cover meets cylinder head and engine block.
Tap cover into position until firmly seated.
lnstall all bolts hand tight, including two Torx bolts from
above.

Exhaust System
- With exhaust system fully cold, raise and support car for ac-
cess to exhaust system.

jack.
- Disconnect oxygen sensor connector(s).
4 Loosen and remove bolts holding front exhaust pipes to ex-
haust manifolds (arrows). Right side of
V8 model shown.
- Support exhaust system
- Where applicable, disconnect exhaust support bracket as-
sembly from transmission.
< Remove hangers by prying off bracket (arrows).
- Lower exhaust system as a single unit to ground.
NOTE-
If the catalytic converterlfront exhaust pipe assembly is to be
replaced, transfer the oxygen sensors to the new
pipe(s).

- installation is reverse of removal.
* Make sure there is at least 20 mm (314 in.) clearance be-
tween exhaust system and car body at every point.
Loosely install
ail exhaust system mounting hardware and
hangers before tightening fasteners to their final torque.
Coat manifold studs with copper paste before installing
nuts.
NOTE-
Where applicable, tighten front pipe with semi-flexible com-
pensator last when installing front pipe to
manifolds.

frame through rubber bushings and to the steering ltnuckles
by ball joints.
NOTE-
Tension struts are sometimes called thrust arms or thrust
rods.
Control arms or tension struts are sometimes called lower
front arms or lower rear arms.
Inspect ball joints for wear and looseness. lnspect bushings
for wear or fluid
lealts. The ball joint can only be replaced as
part of an entire suspension arm assembly. Some suspen-
sion arm
bushinas are available as re~lacement Darts. Al-
ways replace in pairs
NOTE-
Steering wheel vibration during braking (usually at road
speeds of
50 to 60 m.p.h.) are often causedby faulty suspen-
sion arm bushings, not out-of-true brake rotors.
Some special tools may be required to remove suspension
arms and to replace bushings. Read procedures through be-
fore beginning the job.
