- Remove crankshaft locking tool from transmission bell hous-
ing so that crankshaft is no longer secured in
TDC position.
- Remove camshaft locking tools from cylinder head.
4 Turn engine over twice in direction of rotation until cylinder 1
intake and exhaust camshaft lobes (arrows) face each other.
- Secure crankshaft in TDC position with BMW special tool 11
2 300.
4 Place BMW special tool set 11 3 240 over camshafts and
measure clearances.
CAUTION-
- If the exhaust side of the tool (A) is not flush with tlie head,
camshaft timing is incorrect Reset camshaft timing as de-
scribed in
117 Camshaft Timing Chain.
* Due to flexible sprocket design, VANOS unit tolerances
and play in the VANOS splines, when the camshaft tim-
ing is set correctly, the intake side of special tool
11 3
240 (6) may be up to 1 mm (0.04 in.) above the surface
of the cylinder head. This is normal. Reassemble en-
gine.
Othe~lise, reset camshaft timing as described in
11 7 Camshaft Timing Chain.
- Remove BMW special tool 11 6 150 from front of cylinder
