Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
- Working at side of intake manifold near left strut tower, dis-
connect intake manifold resonance valve electrical harness
connector.
4 Disconnect fuel injector electrical harness connectors from
injectors.
- Use small screwdriver to pry out wire lock clip on fuel injec-
tor
1 connector.
Repeat for remaining injectors.
Release harness conduit fasteners from injector rail.
- Disconnect intake air temperature sensor electrical har-
ness connection (between intake runners for cylinders
3
and 4).
Lift off connector assembly and lay aside.
4 Where applicable, remove schraeder valve cap (arrow) from
fuel
ra~l. Using a tire chuck, blow fuel back through feed line
using a brief burst of compressed air (maximum of
3 bar or
43.5 psi).
WARNING-
Fuel is underpressure (approx. 3 - 5 bar or 45 - 75psi) and
may be expelled. Do not smoke or
work near heaters or
other fire hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher handy Before
d~sconnecting fuel hoses, wrap a cloth around fuel hoses
to absorb any leaking fuel. Catch and
dfspose of escaped
fuel. Plug all open fuel lines.
Always unscrew the fuel tank cap to release pressure
I in the tank before working on the tank or lines.
Disconnect manifold vacuum line (arrow)
Raise car and support in a safe manner,
CAUTION-
Make sure the car is stable and well supported at all times.
Use a professional automotive lift
orjack stands designed for
the purpose. A
floorjack is not adequate support.
Remove protective engine splash guard from below engine.

4 Disconnect electrical harness connections at exhaust cam-
shaft position sensor and exhaust camshaft VANOS control
valve (arrows).
4 Remove banjo bolt from VANOS unit oil pressure line. Use
banjo bolt to attach
BMW special tool 11 3 450 (compressed
air fitting) to VANOS control unit.
CAUTIOI\C
Oil will drain from pressure line. Have a drain container and
rags ready Do not allow oil to run onto drive belts.
4 Cover oil hole (arrow) in VANOS unit with shop towel to cap-
ture oil which will spray when compressed air is applied.
- Connect compressed air line to air fitting. Apply air pressure
set to
2-8 bar (30-1 15 psi).
4 With compressed air line connected, rotate engine at vibra-
tion damper in direction of rotation (clockwise) at least twice,
until cylinder 1 intake and exhaust camshaft lobes face each
other (arrows) in the top dead center (TDC) position for cyl-
inder
1.
CAUTION--
Do not rotate engine counterclocltwise to reach the top dead
center position. If engine rotated beyond top dead center;
complete another two complete rotations.

CYLINDER MEAD REMOVAL AND
INSTALLATION (M62 ENGINE)
This procedure covers cylinder head removal and installation
for the
M62 V-8 engine. Procedures forthe M62 TU VANOS
engine are not covered in this manual.
Intake manifold, left cylinder head, and right cylinder head re-
moval and installation are written as separate procedures.
The intake manifold must be removed before the cylinder
heads can be removed.
WARNING
-
Due to risk of personal injuv be sure the engine is cold be-
fore beginning the removal procedure.
Cylinder head removal and installation requires multiple spe-
cial service tools. Read the entire procedure before beginning
the repair.

Cylinder Head and Valvetrain
< 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.

4 Remove banjo bolt from VANOS unit oil feed line and install
BMW special tool 11 3 450.
NOTE-
Oil will drain from oil feed line.
- Connect compressed air line (with pressure set to 2-8 bar or
30-1 10 psi.) to air fitting.
4 Measure gap (A) between secondary timing chain tensioner
and
intake camshaft sensor wheel. Make note of distance.
4 Connect cable test (BMW special tool 11 6 410) to VANOS
connector. Connect positive clip to positive battery terminal.
- Connect negative clip to battery negative terminal.
CAUTION-
Reversing terminals on special tool will damage diode on
VANOS solenoid valve.
