< Remove oil baffle cover from above intake camshaft(s)
- Rotate engine at crankshaft vibration damper center bolt in
normal direction of rotation (clockwise) until camshaft lobe of
lifter to be tested points away from the lifter, allowing valve to
be completely closed.
Use a plastic or wooden stick to press down on top of lifter
with approximately 3.5 Nm
(2.25 ft-ib) of force.
If the lifter collapses slightly as though spring loaded, air
may be trapped in the lifter.
NOTE-
Air trapped in hydraulic lifters may result from oil foaming (air
being drawn
in by the oil pump). This may be caused by a
faulty oil pump control valve O-ring; leaking oil pump pickup
gaslcet; or by oil starvation to pump.
Press down on top of lifter for
10 to 15 seconds uslng approx-
lmately 6 to 9 Nm (4.5 to 6.75 ft-lb) of force.
If anv clearance is created between the lifter and the
cam-
shafi lobe, the check valve in the lifter is not closing. Re-
place lifter.
- To replace a hydraulic lifter, remove appropriate camshaft.
Refer to camshaft removal procedures given in Camshaft
and lifter removal and installation.
Once camshaft is removed, withdraw faulty
lifter(s) and re-
place with new
lifter(s). Inspect lifter bores for wear and scor-
ing at arrows.
- Reinstall camshafts. See Camshaft and lifter removal and
installation.

CAMSHAFT AND LIFTER REMOVAL
AND ~NSTALLATION
The camshafts can be removed with the cylinder heads
mounted on the engine (in the car).
On 6-cylinder engines there are two different procedures giv-
en, depending on whether the engine is equipped with single
VANOS (M52 engine) or double VANOS
(M52TU or M54 en-
gine).
For V-8 engines, camshaft removal and installation proce-
dures are
only included for the non-VANOS (M62) engine.
Camshaft removal and installation for the
VANOS eq;ipped
V-8 (M62TU) is not covered in this manual.
Special BMW service tools should always be used to remove
and install the camshafts. Removal of the camshafts without
the special tools can result in cylinder head damage and cam-
shaft breakage.

4 Preload exhaust camshaft spring plate by pressing on im-
pulse wheel while tightening mounting nuts (arrows)

tight.
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-
der head. Clean sealing face and keep free of oil.
4 Secure camshaft sprockets and impulse wheels:
Tighten mounting screws (A) on exhaust camshaft impulse
wheel to approx.
5 Nm (44 in-lb).
Tighten mounting nuts (B) on exhaust and intake sprocket
assemblies to approx.
5 Nm (44 in-lb).

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.
