Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
This group covers cylinder head removal and installation as
well as cylinder
headlvalve diagnostic procedures.
In the procedures in this repair group, engines are referred to
by engine code. If necessary, see
100 Engine-General for
engine code and application information.
The information given in this repair group assumes that the
engine is installed in the engine bay. On the
6-cylinder en-
gines, the VANOS control unit must be removed in orderto re-
move the cylinder head from the engine block. On
M52TU
and M54 engines, camshafts must be removed from the cylin-
der head before the head is removed.
The cylinder head removal and installation procedures for the
M62 V-8 are also included, butthe proceduresforthe M62TU
V-8 with VANOS are not provided.
For cylinder head and valvetrain reconditioning information,
see
116 Cylinder Head and Valvetrain.
For specific repair procedures, refer to the appropriate repair
group:

116 Cylinder Head and Valvetrain
117 Camshaft Timing Chain
170 Radiator and Cooling System
610 Component locations
NOTE-
If a head gasket problem is suspected, a compression test or
leak-down test will usually detect the fault See Diagnostic
Testing later
in this group.
Special tools
Special BMW service tools are required to properly remove
and install the cylinder head on engines covered by this man-
ual. The special tools are used to time the valvetrain to the
crankshaft, and to remove the VANOS control unit, the cam-
shafts and the
Tom (El2) head bolts. Read the entire proce-
dure through before beginning the job.

This group covers cylinder head and valvetrain service and
repair. Some of the repair procedures described here require
that the cylinder head first be removed as described in
113
Cylinder Head Removal and Installation.
NOTE- For timing chain and
VANOS repair information, see 117
Camshaft Timing Chain.
If it is
determined that the cylinder head will require signif-
icant reconditioning work, a remanufactured cylinder head
may be a good alternative. Remanufactured cylinder
heads are available from an authorized
BMW dealer.
The information given in this repair group is organized ac-
cording to engine code. For engine application information,
see
I00 Engine-General.

Special Tools
Special BMW tools are required for most cylinder head ser-
vice described in this repair group. Many of these tools are ex-
pensive and only available through an authorized
BMW
dealer. If the special tools are not available, have the cylinder
head removed and disassembled by an authorized BMW
dealer. Be sure to read each procedure thoroughly before
starting a job to determine which special tools and equipment
will be necessary.
Most of the repairs to a cylinder head require precision
rna-
chine work to specific tolerances. This type of work should be
performed by an authorized BMW repairfacility or an ASE
certified machinist.

- Remove pressure gauge and reinstall pressure switch with
new sealing washer.
Tightening torque
Oil pressure switch to oil filter housing 27 Nm (20 ft-lb)
If testing shows low oil pressure, one or more of the following
conditions may be indicated:
Worn or faulty oil pump or faulty pump pressure relief valve
Worn or damaged engine bearings
Severe engine wear
Any of these conditions indicate the need for major repairs.
Oil pressure warning system, testing
4 When the ignition is turned on, the oil pressure warning light
comes on. When the engine is started and the oil pressure
rises slightly, the oil pressure switch (arrow) contact opens
and the warning light goes out. Make sure the oil level is cor-
rect before making tests.
- Turn ignition switch on.
- Warning light on instrument panel must light up
- Remove connector from oil pressure switch.
Warning light on instrument panel must go out.
NOTE-
If the light does not go out, the wiring to the switch is most
likely grounded somewhere between the switch terminaland
the warning light See
ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams for
electrical schematics.
- If warning light does not light when ignition is on, remove con-
nector from oil pressure switch and use a jumper wire to
ground connector terminal to a clean metal surface. The oil
pressure warning light should come on.
NOTE-
If there are two wires to the oil pressure switch, ground the
brown/green wire that carries the signal to the warning light.
- If the warning light comes on, check the switch as described
in the next step. If the warning light does not come on, the
wiring to the instrument cluster or to the light itself is faulty.

Lnition switch
4 The positive (+) power supply to the ignition coils comes to
the ignition switch via an unloader relay. When the ignition
switch is turned on, the relay closes, to provide voltage to the
ignition coils. The coils are then actuated at the negative side
by the engine control module.
NOTE-
Schematic diagrams shown are for illustrative purposes only.
See ELE Electrical Wiring Diagrams for engine manage-
ment specific wiring information.
WARNING- Do not touch or disconnect any cables from the coils while
the engine is running or being cranked by the starter:
The ignition system produces high voltages that can be
fatal. Avoid contact with exposed terminals. Use ex-
treme caution when
working on a car with the ignition
switched on or the engine running.
* Connect and disconnect the DME system wiring and
test equipment leads only when the ignition is
OFF
Before operating the starter without starting the engine
(for example when
making a compression test), always
disable the ignition.
4 Knock sensors (arrows) monitor the combustion chamber for
engine-damaging knock. Six-cylinder models (shown) use
two sensors with each sensor monitoring three cylinders.
V-
8 models use four sensors, each monitoring two cylinders. If
engine
knock is detected, the ignition point is retarded by the
ECM.
I Ignition advance Ignition timing is electronically mapped and not adjustable.
The ECM uses engine load, engine speed, coolant tempera-
ture, knock detection, and intake air temperature as the basic
inputs for timing control.
A three dimensional map similar to
the one shown is digitally stored in the ECM.
- The initial ignition point is determined by the crankshaft
speed sensor during cranking. Once the engine is running.
timing is continually adjusted based on operating conditions.
