Cylinder compression, checking
A compression gauge is needed to make a compression test.
For accurate test, the battery and starter must be capable of
cranking the engine at least
300 rpm, and the engine should
be at normal operating temperature.
NOTE-
Performing a compression test may cause a fault to set in the
ECM and may illuminate the Malfunction
Indicator Light
(MIL). The light can only be turned out using either
BMW
special service scan tools or an equivalent aftermarket scan
tool. Disconnecting the battery will not erase the fault memo-
ry or turn out the light. See OBD On-Board Diagnostics.

Cylinder Head Removal and Installation
4 Working above engine, disconnect the following:
Vent line from cylinder head cover
(A).
. Oxygen sensor connectors (B).
Electrical harness connector from VANOS solenoid
valve
(C).
Electrical harness connectors at throttle valve position
switch
(D), ASC valve position switch (E), fuel injector har-
ness
(F) and vent valve (G).
CAUTION-
Be sure to mark oxygen sensor harness connectors so that
they can be reassembled correctly Do not interchange con-
nectors.
4 Where applicable, remove schraeder valve cap (arrow) from
air connection on fuel rail. Using a tire chuck, blow fuel back
through feed line using a brief burst of compressed air (max-
imum of
3 bar or 43.5 psi).
WARNING-
. Fuel in fuel line is underpressure (approx. 3 - 5 bar or 45 -
75 psi) and may be expelled. Do not smoke or work near
heaters or other fire hazards. Keep a fire extinguisher
handy Before disconnecting fuel hoses, wrap a cloth
around fuel hoses to absorb any leaking fuel. Catch and
dispose of escaped fuel. Plug open fuel lines.
- Always unscrew the fuel rank cap ro release pressure
;n the tank before working on the tank or lines.
Disconnect fuel lines by sliding locking collar in (arrows) and
pulling lines apart.
NOTE-
BMW uses three styles of fuel line connections; a one-time
use
clamp; a locking fitting that uses BMWspecial tool 16 1
050 to release; and a quick release sleeve (above) that dis-
connects the line when depressed.

(underside of intake manifold near throttle body).
* Fuel tank vent line and electrical harness at canister vent
valve.
Remove lower intake manifold supports (arrows).
- Disconnect coolant line retaining bracket at cylinder block.
4 Remove manifold mounting hardware (arrows).
- Remove intake manifold from cylinder head while carefully
checking for electrical connections or hoses.
NOTE-
Fuel rail is removed with intake manifold,
CAUTIOI\C
Stuff clean rags into open intake ports to prevent any parts
from falling into
Nie engine intake.
- Drain cooling system (engine block and radiator), then re-
move radiator cooling fan and fan shroud. See
170 Radiator
and Cooling System.
- Disconnect coolant hoses from thermostat housing.

4 Remove oil baffle cover from above intake camshaft.
4 Unscrew and remove three cylinder head cover studs (ar-
rows)
at rear of cylinder head.
Set engine to approximate top dead center
(TDC) by turning
crankshaft bolt in direction of rotation (clocltwise when
viewed from front of engine) until camshaft lobes for cylinder
1 face each other (dotted lines) and arrows on camshaft
sprocltets face up.
- Set engine to TDC by aligning "OIP mark of vibration damp-
er with boss cast on lower timing chain cover.
< Lock cranltshaft at TDC:
Remove sealing plug from bore on lower left side of engine
block below starter. Secure crankshaft in
TDC position with

Remove
4 bolts (arrows) from exhaust camshaft sprocket
(Torx E10).
CAUTION-
Hold the camshaft stationary (at hex on camshaft) when loos-
eninq or tiqhteninq sprocl(et mounting fasteners. r
Press down on secondary chain tensioner and lock into place
using
BMW special tool 11 3 292 or a similar size pin.
NOTE-
Some tensioners may have a single hole for special tool.
Remove secondary chain tensioner.
Disconnect harness connector and oil line fitting from bottom
of VANOS control unit.
NOTE-
Wrap the VANOS oil line fitting with a shop rag to absorb

- Inspect secondary chain guide rail and tensioner rail for
grooves caused by chain contact. Replace any part that is
worn.
NOTE-
Inspect timing chain sprocl(ets. Sprockets that have worn
or missing teeth should be replaced.
* If any of the sprockets are being replaced due to wear, the
chain should also be replaced.
If the crankshaft sproclet requir?s replacement, the oil
pump drive sprocket and chain must be removed as de-
scribed under
119 Lubrication System.
The procedure outlined below assumes that the camshafts
and the
cranl(shaft are locledin the TDCposition with special

proceeding.
- Install VANOS control unit. See VANOS control unit, install-
ing
(M52 engine) in 117 Camshaft Timing Chain.

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
