Hi Ed, I am doing the same job on my M62TU and I had to make a tool to hold the crank pulley so I can safely remove the "Jesus" crankshaft bolt. I didn't want to use an impact in my case. I have a video about it-Part 40 video. Keep up the good work mate.

Good price. My Range Rover L322 has the M62TU ( vanos/ same as X53 ) engine and needs this.

Hi Mate! Can you tell me is that true, cuz Im confused and dont know what to do with my e38? Some people say that, after rebuilt the vanos system on m62 engine, ,,the thicking noise'' dont stop, or stop but just for a short time. After searching internet, I found out, that the oem gaskets reacts with engine oil, and the best way is to buy aftermarket gaskets from independent company, there are made from different material, and that fix the problem. What is your point of view ?

Do you have the video following where you stopped? I'm about to do chains and guides on my m62 (pre vanos) and haven't found alot of info on using the chain tensioner block, torque specs,etc. also my chains that connect the cams has a bad tensioner so I'll be doing those as well

I'm looking at doing the same on my 735i m62Tu. How reliable are those cheap timing tool sets, are they precise, as I've heard setting the timing on these engines is pretty tough, if not done with proper tools? Any special brand of the cheap tools to buy? Did you manage to time it with the tools on first try?

@The777Garage 2 жыл бұрын

Hi!they actually not that bad… there is no specific brand have i used but they are in the blue box sells £70-80 I personally didn’t had issues..i had sometimes vanos control fault but not sure if it was vanos itself or timing

@erensink924 Жыл бұрын

Mine will be done as well. My 3.5 m62tu started to rattle last saturday. He is now at the shop. Do you have advice for other parts to get replaced while changing the guides? The vanos for example? Its a 1999 with 230.000 km/ +-140.000 miles miles

G'Day, I am in Cairns (FNQ Australia), had the timing chain tensioner replaced, still makes the noise intermittently ...so decided to bite the bullet ... there is no way I can come to you, but I would appreciate your suggestions on the components to replace ... if you come to OZ, I'll buy you a beer of three ... (the car has about 300,000 kilometres on it, but like most E38 Owners, I love the car. I thought the water pump and clutch fan as well ... thanks

1st cylinder at tdc..lock the flywheel at the back of the engine (there’s hole between gearbox and engine) Camshafts should be facing upwards with numbers and letters on the end..lock them up using special tool and u good to go to remove chain

@AaronRadfords 3 жыл бұрын

The guides get destroyed when the tensioner becomes slack over time. As long as the tensioner is maintained along with regular oil changes the guides should last, they are then only dealing with friction not chain thrashing caused by a slack chain.

@The777Garage 3 жыл бұрын

Well soon or late it needs to be changed anyway..usually they go after 130k miles plastic doesn’t last that long tho
