Cylinder Head Removal and lnstallation
NOTE-
Be Sure the secondary timing chain tensioner is locked down
and the exhaust
camshaif mounting bolts are loose before
proceeding.
- Install VANOS control unit. See VANOS control unit, install-
ing
(M52 engine) in 117 Camshaft Timing Chain.
CAUTION--
Incorrect installation ofthe VANOS control may result in dam-
age to the engine valvefrain.
- Install exhaust manifolds using new gaskets and nuts. Coat
manifold studs with copper paste prior to installing nuts.
Install intake camshaft cover and cylinder
head cover.
Check for correct seating of half-moon seals
(A) in back of
cylinder head cover.
Use a small amount of Three Bond 1209
O or equivalent
sealant at corners
(6) of half-moon cutouts.
Seat gasket and seal corners in front of cylinder head at
VANOS unit.
- Installation of remaining parts is reverse of removal, noting
the following:
Reinstall electrical harness connectors for oil pressure
switch and coolant temperature sensor before installing in-
take manifold.
Refill cooling system as described in 170 Radiator and
Cooling System.

- 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.

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

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.
