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.

- Remove intake manifold as described earlier
- Remove left side exhaust manifold. See 180 Exhaust Sys-
tem.
- Drain engine coolant, then remove viscous clutch cooling
fan. See
170 Radiator and Cooling System.
WARNING -
Use extreme caution when draining and disposfng of eng~ne
coolant. Coolant is poisonous and lethal to humans andpets.
Pets are attracted to coolant because of its sweet smell and
taste.
Seek med~cal attention immediately if coolant is ingest-
ed.
4 Remove coolant manifold mounting fasteners and carefully
remove manifold.
NOTE-

Camshafts, removing (M62 engine)
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 personal injury and lor cylinder
head damage.
NOTE-
Cylinder bank 1-4 is referred to as the right cylinder bank
and is located on the passenger side. Cylinder bank 5-8 is
referred to as the left cylinder bank and is located on the driv-
er's side.
WARNING-
Allow enqine to cool before beqinninq this procedure. 1
- Disconnect negative (-) cable from battery.
CAUTION-
Prior to disconnecting the battery, read the battery discon-
nection cautions
in 001 General Cautions and Warnings.
- Dra~n coolant. See 170 Radiator and Cooling System.
Remove plastic engine covers:
Press down on locking pins (arrows) and remove top
cover.
Pry out
trlm caps (A) from covers.
Remove fasteners from beneath
trlm caps and remove
side covers.
4 Remove left and right interior ventilation filter housing (lefl
side shown):
Release locking tabs
(A) or locking strap (early models,
not shown).
Rotate duct inward (arrow) to disconnect.
- Release spring lock (6) to unloclc ventilation housing.

Camshaft Timing Chain Timing chains, removing
(M52 engine)
Camshaft timing chain removal on M52 engines requires en-
gine oil pan removal.
Special
BMW sewice tools are needed for timing chain re-
moval and installation procedures. The special tools assure
propertiming of thevalvetrain. Precise marks to
setthe timing
on the camshafts are not provided for reassembly. Read the
procedures through before beginning the job.
NOTE-
If the camshafts are not properly timed, the pistons can con-
tact the valves.
- Remove VANOS control unit. See VANOS control unit, re-
moving (M52 engine).
- Remove radiator cooling fan and shroud. See 170 Radiator
and Cooling System.
- Drain cooling system. See 170 Radiator and Cooling Sys-
tem.
- Remove coolant hoses from thermostat housing and remove
thermostat housing from front of cylinder head.
- Loosen bolts for coolant pump pulley.
- Remove drive belts for alternator and AIC compressor. See
020 Maintenance.
- Remove coolant pump pulley.
Remove drive belt tensioner mounting bolts (arrows) and re-
move tensioner from front of engine.
- Remove engine speed sensor from lower timing chain cover.

DOUBLE VAMOS SYSTEM
(M52 TU AND M54 ENGINES)
Double VANOS system function
The M52TU and M54 6-cylinder engines are equipped with a
Double VANOS system that varies intake and exhaust cam-
shaft timing.
The main components of the Double VANOS system are:
lntalte and exhaust camshafts with helical spline inserts.
Camshaft sprockets with adjustable gears.
VANOS actuators (two position piston housing with
inter-
nallexternal helical spline cup).
Three-way solenoid switching valves.
Camshaft position impulse wheels.
Hall effect camshaft position sensors.
Camshaft position
IS varied based on engine rpm, throttle po-
sition signal, intake air and coolant temperature.
