Remove polyribbed A/C compressor belt:
Mark direction of belt travel if belts are to be reused.
Loosen bolts
(A).
Turn adjusting lug (B) clocltwise to release belt tension.
Working beneath car, remove power steering pump and air
conditioner compressor. Suspend from body using stiff wire.
Remove exhaust manifolds. See
180 Exhaust System.
< lnstall engine lifting device (BMW 11 0 000 or equivalent) to
front and rear engine supports and raise engine until it's
weight is supported. Detach engine mounts.
a Watch carefully for hoses and electrical wires that might
snag.
- installation is reverse of removal:
Replace all gaskets, O-rings and seals.
V-8 engine mounts have two sets of mounting holes. E39
cars use front most mounting holes.
* On cars with automatic transmission, use new O-rings at
ATF cooler lines.
Use new alignment sleeves when installing transmission.
Be sure engine drive belts properly engage pulley grooves.
When installing belt, preload tensioner to stop (toward
belt), then tighten tensioner clamping nut.
lnstall front exhaust pipes using new gasltets and copper
paste and new mounting hardware. See
180 Exhaust
System.
Change engine oil and filter. Check all other fluid levels as
described in
020 Maintenance.
Refill and bleed cooling system as described in
170 Radi-
ator and Cooling System.
CAUTION-
Do not interchange knoclc sensor harness connectors. Seri-
ous engine damage may result

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
NOTE-
Do not remove the sprocl parts are being replaced. Wire tie each sprocket to the chain
to
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.

Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
NOTE-
BMW special tool 11 4 220 is an adjustable primary chain
tensioner and simulates the function of the hydraulic
tensioner.
- Check that elongated holes in primary sprocket are now cen-
tered to bolt holes in camshaft and chain is free of slack. If
not, reposition sprocket to chain and reinstall.
- lnstall secondary timing chain guide and secondary chain
tensioner. Tighten mounting bolts (tensioner remains locked
down for now using
BMW special tool 11 3 292).
- Install cylinder identification trigger plate to front of intake
camshaft with studs.
- Install spacer to front of intake camshaft.
- Install secondary chain sprockets and chain as an assembly
so that arrows on sprockets are pointing up. Center mounting
holes in sprockets to bolt holes in camshafts.
4 lnstall thrust washers and diaphragm spring to intake cam
sprocket.
I 2hm thrust washer I
- Install shim and torx bolts to exhaust camshaft. Tighten fin-
ger tight; do not torque down.
- Tighten intake sprocket nuts.
CA UTIOG
Hold the camshaft stationary (at hex on camshaft) when loos-
enino or tiahtenino sorocket mounting bolts and studs.
Tightening torque
Intake s~rocket nuts to studs 10 +l Nm (89 +9 in-lb)
- Turn crankshaft approx. 30" in direction of rotation to bring
engine to TDC. Lock crankshaft in TDC position with BMW
special tool
11 2 300.
CAUTION-
The camshafts andcranlshaft must be lockedin the TDCpo-
sition using BMW special tools 11 2 300 and 11 3 240. If the
camshafts and cranl(shaft are not at TDC, the valves can
contact the pistons.

Cylinder Head Removal and lnstallation
NOTE-
Be Sure the secondary timing chain tensioner is locked down
and the exhaust
camshaif mounting bolts are loose before
proceeding.
- Install VANOS control unit. See VANOS control unit, install-
ing
(M52 engine) in 117 Camshaft Timing Chain.
CAUTION--
Incorrect installation ofthe VANOS control may result in dam-
age to the engine valvefrain.
- Install exhaust manifolds using new gaskets and nuts. Coat
manifold studs with copper paste prior to installing nuts.
Install intake camshaft cover and cylinder
head cover.
Check for correct seating of half-moon seals
(A) in back of
cylinder head cover.
Use a small amount of Three Bond 1209
O or equivalent
sealant at corners
(6) of half-moon cutouts.
Seat gasket and seal corners in front of cylinder head at
VANOS unit.
- Installation of remaining parts is reverse of removal, noting
the following:
Reinstall electrical harness connectors for oil pressure
switch and coolant temperature sensor before installing in-
take manifold.
Refill cooling system as described in 170 Radiator and
Cooling System.
Change engine oil and filter as described in 020 Mainte-
nance.
If necessary, adjust accelerator cable.
Reconnect battery last.
