Cylinder Head Removal and Installation I
Remove cylinder head cover mounting studs (arrows) from
center of cylinder head.
- Remove crankshaft loclting tool from transmission bell hous-
Ing.
Lift primary chain and hold under tension, then rotate engine
at vibration damper in opposite direction of normal rotation
(counterclocltwise) approximately 30".
CAUTION-
By turning crankshait3O0, pistons are movedaway from top
dead center, to prevent possible valve interference to pistons
during camshaft servicing.
- Remove camshaft loclting tools (BMW special tool set 11 3
240) from rear of cylinder head.
4 Remove camshaft bearing cap 1 on intake camshaft.
4 Fit BMW special tools 11 3 260 (A) and 11 3 270 (B) to cyl-
inder head and screw long bolts (arrows) into spark plug
threads. Tensioning pins on tool will align with the bearing
caps on the
intake camshaft.
CAUJION-
Do not over torque bolts into sparkplug holes.

Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
4 Rotate camshafts until intake and exhaust lobes for cylinder
1 face each other (arrows).
CAUTION-
Be sure that cranlcshaft is stillpositioned at least 30" away
from
TDC.
- 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 cylin-
der head over intake camshaft and screw long bolts (arrows)
into spark plug threads.
CAUTIOI\C
Do not overtighten bolts in spark plug holes.
Turn eccentric shaft of special tool to pretension
bearing
caps. Install and torque nuts on intake camshaft bearing
caps.
Tightening torque Camshaft bearing
cap to cylinder head (M7) 14 Nm (10 ft-lb)
Release tension on eccentric
shaft and remove BMW special
tools
11 3 2601270.
Repeat procedure for exhaust camshaft.
CAUTION-
After the camshafts are installed, a minimum waiting time is
required for the hydraulic lifters to 'bleed down" before bring-
ing the crankshaft andpiston back to top
deadcenter. When
the camshafts are removed, the hydraulic lifters can expand.
This expansion can cause increased valve lift when the cam-
shafts are bolted down, possibly resulting in piston interfer-
ence.

Cylinder Head and Valvetrain
< Remove cylinder head cover retaining studs (arrows) from
center and rear of cylinder head.
< Remove spark plugs and install BMW special tool 11 3 260
(A) and 11 3 270 (6) to cylinder head. Tighten tool retaining
bolts in spark plug bores. Do not overtighten bolts.

cylinder head
- Remove intake camshaft bearing cap for cylinder number 1.
CA UTIOG
Intake camshaft bearing cap 1 is centered with adapter
sleeves. To avoid
can~sllaft daniage, it must be removed bs-
fore any other caps.
Turn eccentric shaft on special tool until pressure is applied
to camshaft bearing caps.
- Remove remaining bearing cap mounting nuts
- Slowly release pressure on camshaft bearing caps by turning
eccentric shaft. Remove bearing caps and camshaft. Repeat
procedure on remaining camshaft.
CAUTION-
Camshaft bearing caps must be reinstalled in their original lo-
cations.
NOTE-
The camshaft bearing caps are coded with a letter anda
number. For example,
'XI" is the first exhaust camshaft
bearing cap at the front of the engine, and
"El "is the intalce
camshaft bearing cap at the front of the engine.
0 The camshafts are stamped with a code letter - "E" for the
intake side and 'MA" for the exhaust side.
0 "E is for Einlap, (German for intake) and 'XA"is for Auspuff,
(German for exhaust).

against direction of rotation (counterclockwise) approximate-
ly 30".
To prevent damaging valves while
worlcing on camshafts, no

4 Rotate camshafts so that intalte and exhaust lobes for cylin-

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.
