NOTE-
The camshaft bearing caps are coded with a letter and a
number. For example, "A
1" is the first exhaust camshaft
bearing cap
at the front of the engine, and "El "is the intake
camshaft bearing cap at the front of the engine.
-. -
The camshafts are stamped with a code letter - "E for the
intake side and
'X" for the exhaust side.
"E is for Einlap. (German for intake) and 'XA7s for Auspuff.
(German for exhaust).
- Repeat procedure for exhaust camshaft
< Secure hydraulic lifters in lifter bores using BMW special tool
11 3 250, or remove lifters using a magnetic pick-up tool.
I CAUTION-
Used liydraulic lifters must be reinstalled in original lifter
1 bores.
4 Remove lower camshaft bearing carriers from cylinder head.
CAUTION- Camshaft bearing carriers must be reinstalled in their original
locations
(E for intalce and A for exhaust).
NOTE- Do not allow hydraulic lifters to fall out of camshaft carriers.
Hydraulic lifters should be stored in an upright position.
Camshafts and lifters, installing (M52TU and M54 engine)
Lubricate camshafts, camshaft carriers, bearing caps, hy-
draulic lifters, friction washers, splined shafts and
spline hubs
with assembly
lubricant before installation.
CAUTION-
Make sure the crankshaft, which had been rotated approxi-
mately
30" opposite the direction of engine rotation from
TDC, is
stillin thatposition before lowering the camshafts into
position. Allpistons must be out of
TDCposition to prevent
valve/piston inteiference when the carnshafis are installed.
- Lift timing chain and place exhaust cam onto exhaust cam-
shaft carriers. Place
intake camshaft on camshaft carrier.

4 Before installing camshaft carriers, examine bearing bores
(arrows) on hydraulic lifter bores for signs of wear.
Install camshaft carriers with hydraulic lifters into cylinder
head. Note marks on carriers:
(E) for intake side and (A) for
exhaust side.
4 Center camshaft carrier on pins (arrows) at bearing
aositions 2 and 7.

4 Rotate camshafts so that intalte and exhaust lobes for cylin-
der
1 face each other (arrows).
CAUJION-
A minimum waiting time is required for the hydraulic lifters to
'bleed down"after installing the camshafts into the cylinder
head, before bringing the piston to TDC. When the camshafts
are removed, the hydraulic lifters can expand. This expan-
sion can cause increased valve lift when the camshafts are
bolted down, possibly resulting in piston interference.
Place bearing caps on cams, but do not install retaining nuts.
4 Fit BMW special tool 11 3 260 (A) and 11 3 270 (B) to cylinder
head over
intalte camshaft and screw long bolts (arrows)

CA UTION-
Do not overtighten bolts into spark plug holes.
< Turn eccentric shaft of special tool to pretension bearing
caps. Install and torque nuts on intake camshaft bearing
caps.

- Repeat procedure for exhaust camshaft.
NOTE-
Observe waiting time for lifter bleed down before continuing
with camshaff installation.

This section covers valve removal and reconditioning, includ-
ing valve guides, seats, springs, and valve stem oil seals.
Valves, leak test
To test the valves for leakage, the cylinder head must be dis-
assembled with camshafts and camshaft carriers removed.
With valve assemblies and spark plugs installed, place the
cylinder head on a workbench with the combustion chamber
facing upward. Fill each combustion chamber with a thin non-
flammable liquid. After fifteen minutes,
check the level of the
fluid. If the fluid level in any cylinder drops, that cylinder is not
sealing properly.
Valves, removing and installing
- Remove cylinder head as described in 113 Cylinder Head
Removal and Installation.
CAUTIOI\C
(M52 TU/M54 engines only) Do not let the hydraulic lifters
fall out as the camshaft carrier is removed. Special suction
cups are available from
BMW to hold the hydraulic lifters in
place during carrier removal.
* Hydraulic cam lifters should be stored m an uprfght po-
sition. If necessary, use a magnetic tool to
aidin remov-
al of the lifters.
- Remove valves using a valve spring compressor.
CAUTIOI\C
Label each valve assembly as it is removed so it can be in-
stalled in its original position.
-
- Remove and discard valve stem oil seals from valve guides.
See Valve stem oil seals later in this section.
- Valve installation is reverse of removal. Remove carbon de- - -
posits from the valves using a wire brush or wire wheel. -
-
Valve specifications are listed in Table c. Valve specifica-
tions.
