Hey there,my dad thanks you a lot for this video you made. It really helped
him for his job and he was very excited that he could remember how to
create such things by himself. I still have a question. I wonder what your
gloves are because my dad’s hands are always dirty of fixing cars are they
some doctor’s gloves or some special ones. I’d be very happy if you
answered.

I agree, this video is excellent as is the explanation. I have a 1998 E39
528 2.8L engine. Do you have a video on how to rebuild your Vanos unit?
Where would you suggest getting the a rebuild kit and or seals for the
Vanos at? Besian Systems?

fede6923 says:

unit, this video is great got to see what i might get to, I have the engine
making some noises already looking like vanos exchange soon coming

gueid over time do you have anything on this problem

artem kirilchuk says:

demonstration.this will halp me to remove the head , i have no comp, in cyl
6 but i do gane some when i do have spark plugs in ,i notesed the big oil
loss . i would get a code that will come back,more often when it cold days
and not driven so now i know that my valve guide might be worn ot bant so
.code came up each time as misfire in cyl 6 so i would clear it and clear
it but oil loss became a big deal low oil warning will light

BRO YOUR BADASS!

UnholySatyr says:

Super informative videos. Thanks for all the time and effort spent helping
us out. I have a question, i recently performed a head gasket on my 96
m52b28 engine. I’m thinking i may have botched the vanos install. The whoel
bit about turning the exhaust sprocket counter clockwise and having the
vanos catch on the first tooth. The reason i think this is because when i
am at 4k+ rpm, there is this sort of vtec type noise that was not there
prior. i am wondering, what symptoms show if you dont

UnholySatyr says:

install the vanos on the very first tooth?

Leesha Maree says:

Hello, thanks for this informative video, i got the timing wrong after
headgasket replacement was very slugish and lacking power when hot. Now its
mint after i followed your instructions. cheers

MrTedco JRi says:

Great video Dude. My 1996 328i e36 m52b28 vanos starting making noise@
147,300m can this video help me fix my rattle problem where do i get tools?
Im in PSL FL Send email reply @ Mrtedco@gmail.com thanks. BMW= BlackManWish

mybimmerspace says:

Thanks, I know that 18mm nut is on there tight. I use an impact wrench to
get it off, but I go really slow with the tool speed so it doesn’t mar the
nut.

///M says:

Excellent work. Question. My 98 M does not have a spring in the tensioner.
Any ideas how to simulate the tensioner if its a hydraulic tensioner?

MrNicoe36cabrio says:

Hey, thanks a lot. I did the spring(M50B25 TU) upgrade and my vanos seals
also. The engine is like new, wow… I had just one problem; to take off
the 18mm nut on the back of the vanospiston. BMW fastened it the wrong
torque, much to high!! You did a great job !! Thanks, Nico.

Josh Blankenship says:

So what would you do on a m3?

mybimmerspace says:

Tubernua571, I am glad you caught that tensioner. In the past I have used
SOS steel wool pads with WD-40 to clean up the camshaft lobes. If it’s just
surface residue rust like oxidation it won’t be as critical.

Akieba says:

Man oh man, looking at ur work I wish you were in my country to help me
pull the head off my e34, and that engine is sooo CLEAN

Cartoolrent says:

Great Video just to say you need tools to do this i rented mine from
cartoolrent@aol.com hope this helps some one get there car fixed
cheaper,,thanks! for the video.

mybimmerspace says:

Yes it can be done with the head on….Valve springs, retainers and valve
stem seals. But for the valve guides I’ll pull the head off and send it
down to the machine shop.

mybimmerspace says:

MrTedco JRi, Yes this video can be used to remove and install the Vanos on
the 96 328i except your valve cover removal will be a little different.
There is a Baum Tools located in Florida, they carry all the tools needed.
They don’t sell from their website but do accept phone orders. Ebay is also
another source with reasonable prices.

Igor Toebe says:

where i can found an upper guide for the 2002 e46 dual vanos engine?

gary thomas says:

Great Video!!! If you were only changing the timing belt gasket, do you
need the timing blocks and dummy tensioner installed?

tatersgravy says:

At what mileage do the tensioners begin to show need for attention?

Khengwoei Tay says:

Great video i just had a question. after you do two crank revolutions and
if your timming on the intake cam is off by just a bit do you have to take
everything apart again or can you just adjust it with the exhaust cam
sprocket?
