This is great , but i still having troubles, when you talk about spot were you say put the slot on the prime chain sprocket having threaded holes too the right , is that with lower chain tension off, ii read it goes too the middle when tension, put on ,, and could you also show me were timing mark look like on crankshaft on tdc mark . be so great for your help . thank you ,
This is great , but i till having troubles, my cam rail broke , when you talk about spot were you say put the slot on the prime chain gear on the right , is that with lower chin tension off, ii read it goes too the middle when tension, put on ,, and could you also show me were timing mark look like on crank postion flywheel . be so great for your help . thank you
There is no talk about the main timing chain tensioner and video is too dark to see the slots. Your video is confusing. I used the factory manual and was able to time it properly, looking at your video does not make much sense
If this is confusing to you, you should probably just pay someone to time it for you. The primary tensioner is installed after the primary sprocket is installed. @hakentt
Hi, i've just done a head gasket on my e34 525i with Vanos.
When reassembling the secondary timing chain sprockets and inserting the vanos unit i simply threw the sprockets on making sure the slack in the chain was at the top, inserted vanos then tightened up all the bolts.
My worry came after seeing your video. You aligned the sprocket holes to the left. is this important? Does this apply to intake and exhaust sprockets?
NO, you can not simply plug the oil lines, it will ruin your VANOS and your engine. At all times the VANOS is spinning and locked into the camshaft. Removing the oil feed will cause it to seize up and cause damage.
The twin double VANOS on the V8's isn't that much more difficult to time. Its very similar to the double VANOS on the later M54. As long as you have the alignment jigs, it should be much easier. I bought mine from Kinetic Tools in Industry, CA.
hey i have a problem with my vanos on my 745i its a 2002 i have been getting codes on the servomotor and on the vanos i was wondering if you had any clue on how to time the vanos i rebuilt the heads and now it just runs rough

I know the engine has to be locked at TDC but are the cam locking blocks attached during this procedure as well?

If I wanted to disable VANOS, couldn't I just prevent these sprockets from moving, and unplug the solenoid controlling the oil flow to VANOS?

You can just unplug the VANOS unit, the timing will go to a factory setting, the sprockets wont move if the VANOS is unplugged.
