< 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

Cylinder Head Removal and Installation --
Remove bolts (arrows) holding timing chain cover to cylinder
head. (Photo shows camshafts and camshaft bearing caps in
place).
4 Using BMW special tool 11 2 250 or equivalent, loosen cylin-
der head bolts in several stages, in sequence shown. Discard
head bolts.
NOJE-
BMW special tool 11 2 250 is a thin-walled Torx El2 socket
with an extended reach. The cylinder head bolts are re-
cessed into the head below the
camshaft towers with little
working space.
- Lift off cylinder head. Refer to 116 Cylinder Head and Val-
vetrain for cylinder head reconditioning information.
Cylinder head, installing, M52 TU and M54
engines
Clean cylinder head and gasket surfaces of cylinder bloclc
and all timing chain covers.
CAUTION- Remove foreign matter and liquid from bolt holes. Trapped oil
or coolant in bolt holes can cause damage to
blocl~,
CAUJION-
Do not use a metal scraper or wire brush to clean the alumi-
num cylinder head or pistons. If necessary, use a hard wood-
en orplastic scraper. Also available are abrasive discs to be
used in conjunction with an electric drill. Be sure to use the
correct disc for the type of metal being cleaned.
Evaluate cylinder head as shown in
116 Cylinder Head and
Valvetrain.
NOTE- If the cylinder head has been machined, a special 0.3
mm
(0.01 1 in.) thicker gasket should be installed. The thicker
gasket is available from an authorized
BMW dealer and
should be marked accordingly
Cylinder head and valve specifications are covered in 116
Cylinder Head and Valvetrain.

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.

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.

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.

- Remove intake manifold as described earlier
- Remove left side exhaust manifold. See 180 Exhaust Sys-
tem.
- Drain engine coolant, then remove viscous clutch cooling
fan. See
170 Radiator and Cooling System.
WARNING -
Use extreme caution when draining and disposfng of eng~ne
coolant. Coolant is poisonous and lethal to humans andpets.
Pets are attracted to coolant because of its sweet smell and
taste.
Seek med~cal attention immediately if coolant is ingest-
ed.
4 Remove coolant manifold mounting fasteners and carefully
remove manifold.
NOTE-
