- Remove transmission harness support (E).
- Remove oil filter housing assembly from fender:
- Remove oil filter housing mounting fasteners.

NOTE-
Do not disconnect oil lines from filter housing.
4 Disconnect supply and return fuel lines (where applicable) at
or near fuel rail. Plug open fuel lines.
NOTE-
BMW uses three styles of fuel line connections; a slngle use
clamp, a locking fitting that uses special tool
16 7 050 to re-
lease, and a
quiclc release sleeve (arrows) that disconnects
the line when depressed.
WARNING-
Fuel In fuel line is under pressure (approx. 3 - 5 bar or45 -
75 psi) and may be expelled. Do not smoke or worlc near
heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher
handy. Before disconnecting fuel hoses, wrap a cloth
around fuel hoses to absorb any lealcing fuel. Catch and
dispose of escaped fuel. Plug all open fuel lines.
. Always unscrew the fuel tank cap to release pressure
in the tank before worlcing on the tank or lines.

CAUTION-
Be sure to mark oxygen sensor harness connectors so that
they can be reassembled correctly Do not interchange con-
nectors.
4 Where applicable, remove schraeder valve cap (arrow) from
air connection on fuel rail. Using a tire chuck, blow fuel back
through feed line using a brief burst of compressed air (max-
imum of
3 bar or 43.5 psi).
WARNING-
. Fuel in fuel line is underpressure (approx. 3 - 5 bar or 45 -
75 psi) and may be expelled. Do not smoke or work near
heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher

Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
- Remove secondary timing chain and sprockets:
Remove mounting nuts from front of intake camshaft
sprocket. Remove and label shim.
CAUTION-
Hold the camshaft stationary (at hex on camshaft) when loos-
ening or tightening sprocket mounting fasteners.
Remove mounting nuts from front of exhaust camshaft
sprocket and remove and label thrust washer.
NOTE-
Where applicable, make note of thrust washerpositions. The
thicker
(0.4 mm) washer is mounted outermost.
- Remove secondary sprockets together with camshaft tim-
ing chain from front of camshafts.
CAUTION-
The camshafts must be locledin the TDCposition using the
special service tool as described earlier: The arrows on the
sprockets should not be used to accurately set the engine to
TDC. The tool holds the camshafts parallel to each other and

Iceep the sproclefs timed to each other:
CAUTIOI\C
The crankshaft must not be allowed to rotate once the cam-
shaft timing chain is removed. The pistons can
contact the
valves.
Unscrew timing chain guide and remove.
Lift off primary sprocket with chain.
Secure chain with wire to prevent chain from dropping into
lower timing cover.
Unscrew timing case cover to cylinder head bolts (arrows).
NOTE-
Photo shows timing chain guide in place; it should first be re-
moved as described previously.
Remove crankshaft locking tool
(BMW special tool 11 2 300).
Using the crankshaft vibration damper bolt, turn engine op-
posite of normal direction of rotation (counterclocltwise as
viewed from the front) approximately 30". This prevents ac-
cidental contact between valves and pistons during installa-
tion.
