VANOS SERVICE NOTES
VALVE TIMING PROCEDURES
Refer to TIS for complete Valve Timing Procedures.M62 TU valve timing adjustment is sim-
ilar to the previous non VANOS M62 engine with the exceptionof setting the VANOS
transmissions to their max retard positions with an ohmmeter and attaching the camshaft
gears to each camshaft with single reverse threaded bolts.
• After locking the crankshaft at TDC, the camshaft alignment tools (P/N 90 88 6 112 440)
are placed on the square blocks on the rear of the camshafts locking them in place.
• The exhaust camshaft sprockets and VANOS transmission units with timing chains are
placed onto their respective camshafts.
• The exhaust camshaft sprockets and VANOS transmissions are secured to the
camshafts with their respective single, reverse threaded bolt. Finger tighten only at this
point. Install the chain tensioner into the timing chain case and tension the chain.
• Connect an ohmmeter across two of the three pin contacts on the front edge of one of
the VANOS transmissions. Twist the inner hub of transmission to the left (counter clock-
wise). Make sure the ohmmeter indicates closed circuit. This verifies that the trans-
mission in the default max retard position.
• Using an open end wrench on the camshaft to hold it in place, torque the VANOS trans-
mission center bolt to specification.
CAMSHAFT IMPULSE WHEEL POSITION TOOLS
The camshaft impulse wheels require a special tool set
to position them correctly prior to torquing the retaining
nuts.
The impulse wheels are identical for each cylinder
bank. The alignment hole in each wheel must align
with the tool’s alignment pin. Therefore the tools are
different and must be used specifically for their bank.
The tool rests on the upper edge of the cylinder head
and is held in place by the timing case bolts.
Refer to the TIS repair manual section for complete
information.
