I Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
4 Drain engine coolant and remove coolant hoses:
Remove expansion tank cap on radiator.
Place a
3 gallon pail beneath engine to capture coolant
Remove coolant drain plug (arrow) located on exhaust
side of cylinder
2 of engine block.
4 Drain radiator into a 3 gallon pail by removing plastic drain
plug (arrow) completely.
Use caution when draining and disposing of engine coolant.
Coolant is poisonous andlethal to humans andpets. Pets are
attracted to coolant because of its sweet smell and taste.
Seek medical
attention immediately if coolant is ingested.
NOTE-
Catch and dispose of drained coolant according to local,
state, and federal laws.
4 Remove thermostat housing:
. Disconnect electrical harness connector at thermostat
housing.
. Remove hoses from thermostat hous~ng by releasing loclts
(arrows).
Unbolt
(4 bolts) and remove thermostat hous~ng.
- On vehicles equipped with mechanical cooling fan: Remove
belt-driven cooling fan and radiator shroud as described in
170 Radiator and Cooling System.
CAUTIOI\C
32 mm radiator fan mounting nut has left hand threads. r
4 Remove fasteners (arrows) from heater bypass tube. Pull
tube out of cylinder head and set to side, leaving heater hose
connected.
- Unbolt power steering fluid reservoir and pull aside without
disconnecting hoses. Secure to fender with cord or stiff wire.

Camshaft Timing Chain Timing chains, removing
(M52 engine)
Camshaft timing chain removal on M52 engines requires en-
gine oil pan removal.
Special
BMW sewice tools are needed for timing chain re-
moval and installation procedures. The special tools assure
propertiming of thevalvetrain. Precise marks to
setthe timing
on the camshafts are not provided for reassembly. Read the
procedures through before beginning the job.
NOTE-
If the camshafts are not properly timed, the pistons can con-
tact the valves.
- Remove VANOS control unit. See VANOS control unit, re-
moving (M52 engine).
- Remove radiator cooling fan and shroud. See 170 Radiator
and Cooling System.
- Drain cooling system. See 170 Radiator and Cooling Sys-
tem.
- Remove coolant hoses from thermostat housing and remove
thermostat housing from front of cylinder head.
- Loosen bolts for coolant pump pulley.
- Remove drive belts for alternator and AIC compressor. See
020 Maintenance.
- Remove coolant pump pulley.
Remove drive belt tensioner mounting bolts (arrows) and re-
move tensioner from front of engine.
- Remove engine speed sensor from lower timing chain cover.

Timing chains, removing
(M62 engine to 911 998)
Camshaft timing chain removal requires that the engine oil
pan be removed.
Special
BMW service tools are needed for timing chain re-
moval and installation procedures. The special tools assure
propertiming of thevaivetrain. Precise marks to set the timing
on the camshafts are not provided for reassembly. Read the
procedures through before beginning the job.
CAUTION-
Special BMW service tools are needed for this procedure.
Read the procedure through before beginning the job. If the
camshafts are notproperly timed, the pistons can contact the
