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.
I 12 10 4 2 6 8 141 Tighten cylinder head bolts in correct sequence (1-14)
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 While maintaining tension on timing chain, rotate crankshaft
at vibration damper from
30" before TDC in direction of rota-
tion (clockwise) until number
1 cylinder is at TDC position
with line between the
OIT (arrow) on front pulley lined up
with boss on lower timing chain cover.

Remove chain and sprockets from tool and slide sprockets
on camshafts. Confirm that gap in intake sprocket splines
lines up with corresponding gap in camshaft splines (arrow).
CAUTIOI\C
Do not alter position of sprockets with respect to chain when
removing
from special tool 11 6 180.
< Align locating tooth of splined shaft with gaps on camshaft
and sprocket. Slide splined shaft onto intake camshaft until
approx.
1 mm (0.04 in) of splines (arrows) are visible.
4 Install intake camshafl spring plate so that FRONT mark is
visible. Install mounting nuts (arrows) finger tight.
Insert sprocket mounting bolts (arrows) on exhaust side
camshaft assembly.
Initially tighten to approx.
5 Nm (44 in-lb) and then back off
by half a turn.

Install BMW special tool 11 6 150 (VANOS setup bracket) to
front of cylinder head timing case. Install nuts (arrows) finger
tight, then tighten down uniformly until special tool is in full
contact with cylinder head.
CAUTION-
Make sure all gasket material is removed from face of cylin-
der head. Clean sealing
face and keep free of oil. If any for-
eign material is present on the sealing
sudace, the camshait
timina will be incorrect.

- 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
head.
