4 Install secondary chain tensioner (arrows). Keep tensioner
compressed using
BMW special tool 11 3 292 or suitable pin.
4 Fit exhaust camshaft splined sleeve. Confirm that gap in
sleeve splines aligns with corresponding gap in carnshaft
splines
(arrows).
Slide splined shaft onto exhaust camshaft so that locating
tooth of shaft fits into spline gaps of camshaft and splined
sleeve
(arrows).
- Push splined shafl in further to rotate splined sleeve until the

< Place intake and exhaust sprockets in BMW special tool
11 6 180. Position spline gap on intake sprocket (arrow) as
shown and place secondary chain on
sprocitets.
< Remove chain and sprockets from tool and slide sprockets
on camshafts. Confirm that gap in intalte sprocket splines
lines up with corresponding gap in camshaft splines (arrow).
CAUTIOI\C
Do not alter position of sprockets with respect to chain when
removinq from saecial tool 11 6 180.
4 While aligning locating tooth of shaft with spline gaps on
camshaft and sprocket, slide spiined
shaft onto intalte carn-
shaft until approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) of splines (arrows) are
visible.
4 lnstall intake camshaft spring plate so that FRONT mark is
visible. install mounting nuts (arrows) finger tight.

Initially tighten to approx.
5 Nrn (44 in-lb) and then back off
by half a turn.
4 Fit thrust spacer (A) on exhaust
camshaft.
4 Install spring plate (A) to exhaust camshaft. Make sure that
(F) mark is visible.
NOTE-
If F marlc is no longer visible, install spring plate as shown in
inset.

4 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--
Male sure aNgas1ef material Is removed from face of cyiin-

Turn engine over twice in direction of rotation until cylinder 1
intake and exhaust camshaft lobes (arrows) face each other.
- Lock 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.
NOTE-
@ If the exhaust side of the tool (A) is not flush with the head,
camshaft timing is incorrect. Reset camshaft timing as de-
scribed in 11
7 Camshaft Timing Chain.
Due to flexible sprocket design, VANOS unit tolerances
and play in the VANOS splines, when the camshaft timing
is set correctly, the intake side of special tool set
11 3 240
(B) may be up to 1 mm (0.04 in.) above the suiface of the
cylinder head. This is normal. Reassemble engine. Other-
wise, reset camshaft timing as describedin 1
l?Camshaft
Timing Chain.
- Remove BMW special tool 11 6 150 from front of cylinder
head.
4 Clean contact edges of cylinder head face and VANOS unit
and apply a thin coat of Three Bond
12090 or equivalent
sealing compound to surfaces.
CAUTION-
Male sure all gasket material is removed from face of cyl-
inder head. Clean sealing face and keep free of oil.
Check locating dowel
(A) and dowel sleeve (B) at top
of cylinder head for damage or incorrect installation.
- Using a new steel gasket, install VANOS unit to front of cyi-
inder head. See 117 Camshaft Timing Chain.
NOTE-
If VANOS control unit is being replaced, be sure to check and
adjust camshaft timing as described in 117 Camshaft Tim-
ing Chain.
- Reinstall engine lifting eye.
- Reconnect electrical harness connectors to camshaft posi-
tion sensors and
VANOS solenoid valves.
