CA UTIOI\C
Note location of all ground wires. Failure to reinstall grounds
can result in permanent damage to engine control module or
ignition system components.
Set coil harness to side of engine compartment
- Remove cylinder head cover mounting fasteners and remove
cylinder head cover.

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.

4 Oil will drain from plugs (arrows) when removed. Have a
container and rags ready. Do not allow oil to run onto drive
belts.
Pull sealing caps straight out of VANOS unit using short nee-
dle nose pliers.
NOTE-
Additional oil may drain from VANOS unit.
Remove set screws (left-hand thread) on ends of intake and
exhaust camshafts.
CAUTION-
Set screws have left-hand threads. Loosen in clocltwise di-
rection.

< Lift off exhaust and intake sprocltets together with secondary
chain, thrust spacer
(A), and splined shafl (B).
CAUTION-
Splined shafts share the same part number for both intake
and exhaust camshafts. Used splined shafts must be
rein-
stalled in their original positions.
Remove exhaust camshaft splined sleeve
(A) and shaft (B).
Remove secondary chain tensloner mounting bolts (arrows)
and remove tensioner with retaining pin in place.

Remove cylinder head cover mounting studs (arrows) from
center of cylinder head.
- Remove crankshaft loclting tool from transmission bell hous-
Ing.
Lift primary chain and hold under tension, then rotate engine
at vibration damper in opposite direction of normal rotation
(counterclocltwise) approximately 30".
CAUTION-
By turning crankshait3O0, pistons are movedaway from top
dead center, to prevent possible valve interference to pistons
during camshaft servicing.
- Remove camshaft loclting tools (BMW special tool set 11 3
240) from rear of cylinder head.
4 Remove camshaft bearing cap 1 on intake camshaft.
4 Fit BMW special tools 11 3 260 (A) and 11 3 270 (B) to cyl-
inder head and screw long bolts (arrows) into spark plug
threads. Tensioning pins on tool will align with the bearing
caps on the
intake camshaft.
CAUJION-
Do not over torque bolts into sparkplug holes.

< 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.

4 Before installing camshaft carriers, examine bearing points
(arrows) on hydraulic lifter bores for signs of wear.
4 Center camshaft carrier with hydraulic lifters on pins (ar-
rows) at bearing positions 2 and 7.
Note marks on carriers: (E) for intake side and (A) for exhaust
side.
Lift timing chain and put exhaust cam onto exhaust camshaft
carrier. Place intake camshaft on camshaft carrier.

4 Rotate camshafts until intake and exhaust lobes for cylinder
1 face each other (arrows).
CAUTION-
Be sure that cranlcshaft is stillpositioned at least 30" away
from
TDC.
- Place bearing caps on cams, but do not install retaining nuts.

CAUTIOI\C
Do not overtighten bolts in spark plug holes.
Turn eccentric shaft of special tool to pretension
bearing
caps. Install and torque nuts on intake camshaft bearing
caps.

Repeat procedure for exhaust camshaft.
CAUTION-
After the camshafts are installed, a minimum waiting time is
required for the hydraulic lifters to 'bleed down" before bring-
ing the crankshaft andpiston back to top
deadcenter. When
the camshafts are removed, the hydraulic lifters can expand.
This expansion can cause increased valve lift when the cam-
shafts are bolted down, possibly resulting in piston interfer-
ence.
