Checking the valve timing (BMW X5 E53)

            0

The valve timing check must be carried out in the following order. Prepare the devices "00.9.250",  "11.2.300", "11.3.240",  "11.3.450" and "11.4.220". Remove the engine soundproofing casing and the fan impeller with its drive clutch.

Remove the ignition coils and unscrew all the spark plugs. Remove the cylinder head cover, freeing access to the camshafts. Unscrew the nut (7, see Fig. 3.13) and remove the chain tensioner piston cylinder, which is under significant spring pressure.

Pre-tension the tensioner bar using the "11.4.220" tool, screwing in its adjusting bolt using the "00.9.250" tool or a conventional torque wrench, applying a torque of 0.7 N·m (0.07 kg·m).



Disconnect the pressure oil line (30, see Fig. 3.63) d-VANOS system and install the device "11.3.450" (fig. 3.120) with a hollow bolt of the pressure oil line.

Attention! Cover the actuator unit of the "D-VANOS" system from above, because when compressed air is supplied, a stream of oil will spray out of the opening of the system.




Connect a compressed air source (2-8 bar) to the device "11.3.450". Turn the engine crankshaft by the central bolt in the direction of rotation until the piston of the first cylinder reaches TDC at the end of the compression stroke (see fig. 3.106), in this case, air pressure must be supplied.

The tops of the camshafts of the first cylinder must be facing each other (dotted lines).

Remove the dust plug (10, see Fig. 3.3) from the hole in the engine crankcase and lock the crankshaft at TDC at the end of the compression stroke of the first cylinder using the "11.2.300" device.

Attention! After finishing the work and when cranking the engine shaft, do not forget to unlock the crankshaft by removing the device "11.2.300".


Remove the mounting studs (2 pcs., arrows, Fig. 3.121).

Install the device "11.3.240" (see fig. 3.119) on the camshafts.

Install the device «11.3.240» (see fig. 3.119) on the camshafts.


Despite the correct adjustment of the camshafts, the "11.3.240" device may protrude by up to 1 mm relative to the intake side due to manufacturing tolerances of the D-VANOS system components and the gap in the gear engagement. The "11.3.240" device must not protrude relative to the exhaust side, in which case the valve timing must be readjusted.



Disconnect the compressed air source and remove the device "11.3.450" (see fig. 3.120).
