Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
Label and disconnect fuel lines from fuel rail by pressing lock-
ing sleeves
(arrows) in to release lines.
NOTE-
BMW uses three styles of fuel line connections; a single use
clamp; a locking fitting that uses special tool
16 1 050 to re-
lease; and a quick release sleeve
(arrow) that disconnects
the line when depressed.
CAUTION-
Fuel may be expelled under pressure. Do not smoke or
work near heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire
exfin-
guisher handy Before disconnecting fuel hoses, wrap a
cloth around fuel hoses to absorb
leaking fuel. Plug all
I ooen fuel lines. I
Always unscrew fuel tank cap to release pressure in
tank before
removinq fuel lines.
Cap fuel lines and fuel rail inlets.
Disconnect vacuum lines
(A, B and C) from rear of intake
manifold.
Working at rear of intake manifold, disconnect crankcase
ventilation valve from pipe by prying up on lock
(A) and slid-
ing tube forward

[Cylinder ~ead Removal and Installation
4 Remove cylinder head cover fasteners (arrows) and remove
covers from left and right cylinder heads.
4 Remove oil distribution tubes from camshaft bearing caps
from left and right cylinder heads.
4 Using crankshaft center bolt, turn crankshaft clockwise until
number one cylinder (passenger side front cylinder) is in
TDC overlap position (arrow).
NO JE -
Number one cylinder is at valve overlap when both the intake
and exhaust valves are starting to open (camshaft lobes fac-
ing down).
4 Working at right cylinder head, loosen three accessible cam-
shaft sprocltet fasteners (arrows) on both intake and exhaust
camshafts approximately
'I2 turn.
To prevent valve to piston contact when loosening camshaft
sprocket fasteners, counterhold camshaft with
27 mm open-
end wrench.
If necessary, grind outerside of wrench jaws to
prevent damaging cylinder head.
