    Valve timing procedures


    How to Replace timing chain on BMW 320d E46

     Removal/installation of timing chain requires:



     Cylinder head removal.
     Sump removal.

    NOTE: Refer to Autodata Technical Data for tightening sequence and torques.

    NOTE: Refer to Technical Data module for tightening torques.


     Insert flywheel timing pin [1] .
     Ensure camshaft lobes are positioned as shown [2] & [3] .
     Install camshaft alignment/locking tool on inlet camshaft [4] .
     Ensure camshaft alignment/locking tool abuts cylinder head.
     Remove camshaft alignment/locking tool.
     Install camshaft alignment/locking tool on exhaust camshaft [5] .
     Ensure camshaft alignment/locking tool abuts cylinder head.
     If not, adjust camshafts as follows:
     Hold camshafts with spanner on hexagon [6] .
     Slacken camshaft sprocket bolts [7] & [8] .
     Ensure camshaft sprockets turn freely but do not tilt.
     Ensure inlet camshaft lobe positioned as shown [2] .
     If necessary, adjust position of inlet camshaft.
     Install camshaft alignment/locking tool on inlet camshaft [4] .
     Ensure camshaft alignment/locking tool abuts cylinder head.
     Hold inlet camshaft with spanner on hexagon [6] .
     Tighten inlet camshaft sprocket bolt [8] . Tightening torque: 20 Nm + 50°.

    NOTE: Camshaft sprocket bolt MUST only be used once.

     Remove camshaft alignment/locking tool.


     Ensure exhaust camshaft lobe positioned as shown [3] .
     If necessary, adjust position of exhaust camshaft.
     Install camshaft alignment/locking tool on exhaust camshaft [5] .
