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.

Camshaft timing chain removal requires that the engine oil
pan be removed.
Special
BMW service tools are needed for timing chain re-
moval and installation procedures. The special tools assure
propertiming of thevaivetrain. Precise marks to set the timing
on the camshafts are not provided for reassembly. Read the
procedures through before beginning the job.
CAUTION-
Special BMW service tools are needed for this procedure.
Read the procedure through before beginning the job. If the
camshafts are notproperly timed, the pistons can contact the
