Good call on this comment, I double checked and a few w/ a few others and confirmed outer ring should be sitting against the 2mm spacer.

Bryan Kim 아 별말씀을.. 제가 제일 같고싶은 엔진을 가지고 계시네요 ㅎㅎㅎ 감사합니다 화이팅!

M3NACE nooooooooo! Are you sure??

from what it looks like. the bow is supposed to go towards the vanos unit. the spring plate looks like this ) when viewed from the side. so it is supposed to go: 2mm plate ) 4mm plate, you have it 2mm plate ( 4mm plate.

yea... Im seeing other vids saying that it should be the way you are telling me and also the way i already have.... I'll do more research before I put the engine in the car... Thanks man. And the vanos came like this when I bought it! i got lucky

hmm. interesting. well if thats the way it came and it worked like that, then it works i guess. Ive always known the plate to be bowed out. if it works it works!

Alright, I'm going to have to trust you on this one. I'm going to flip it and put it in. And I meant the clean vanos came like that clean when I bought the engine. I honestly dont remember how the diaphragm was sitting lol Thanks man

Gracias mi amor

This is somehow not exactly correct. According to repair manual does not matter how to position the spring plate. More precisely the manual says nothing about spring plate orientation and that is why I think that does not matter the orientation. Lets take a look at mechanical point of view: the spring plate is positioned between similar stop disk with same mating surfaces with the spring. In both orientations the spring plate will perform the same job - to pull apart the stop disks. And in both orientations the spring plate holes do not interfere with the 3 sprocket bolts. But it is true that in double vanos system the similar spring plate on exhaust side is specifically marked with the letter F (for FRONT) on the dome face meaning that this is the right orientation to put it in. And perhaps the practice proved that. And a M3NACE video shows also, that dome is facing out when installing spring plate :) Edit: only some manuals do not specify spring plate orientation. According to TIS manual "Install large support diameter facing towards camshaft.", so HAN did it wrong on this video, but the video is still great I'd like to say :)

@@dgenov If I were going to do this on my own E36 M3, aside from videos on KZfaq which manual would you recommend having with me in the garage?

@@realbadtech9318 /newtis.info/. I strongly recommend this website. It contains almost all official bmw repair manuals and wiring diagrams.

100% me too I see that

Sim mano o cara me salvou kk peguemos uma bm p mexer e quando vi aquela pedacera de ruela e encosto e de se apavorar kkkkk

I don't understand lol

@@HansGarage Yes bro the guy saved me kk let's get a bmw to move and when I saw that mount of washer and backrest and to be scared kkkkk

@@HansGarage thank you so much

@@giovanistinghen4015 aqui na oficina, recebemos uma BMW e eu acabei pegando ela desmontada. aí eu fiquei de montar o cabeçote da BMW e vinha algumas dúvidas de como montar. o vídeo acabou me ajudando bastante hehe

eduki e46 m3 is my goal man! Hopefully soon!

HAN'S GARAGE thank you! And thanks for all these interesting videos and all the effort you put on them, best tutorials about our beloved BMWs by far

eduki thank you for such encouraging words

truth, as from what I have seen

Mine was all oem

@@HansGarage I hear ya

Actually I did install incorrectly and mentioned it in the description:)

@@HansGarage ah dam ha ha, wish I had of read the description first.. Ah well I will pop the vanos back off and flip it around.. I was hoping you would say its fine both ways ha ha

@@HansGarage swapped it round the correct way now.. I am building an m50b30 stroker, your timing guide helped alot. Thanks

90awdtsi1 Yes you’re correct. Many DIY’s show lining up in the center then rotating clockwise afterwards. In the end it does matter how you put it on as long as BOTH sprockets have full movement. That’s the whole point which no DIY ever mentions. If you put 1 bolt in the exhaust side you would see this more clearly. You then move clockwise to the stops to install the vanos. Then as you draw the vanos is you’re supposed to rotate it all the way anti clockwise and not with the tool used in this video. The tool he used didn’t allow the vanos to go on straight, which is why he had issues catching the teeth.

When you put tension on the primary chain with the "dummy tensioner" it pulls the sprocket so the slots eventually end up being centered on the threaded holes.

Max B incorrect. You rotate the sprockets manual (with a specific tool). When you put tension on the chain the sprockets are not meant to move because they should already be at the stop on the intake cam.

@@thatflywelshguy9662 I'm talking for the primary timing chain to the exhaust camshaft sprocket. The bentley manual is somewhat confusing because when you mount that sprocket it says to line up the left of the slots with the mounting holes in the camshaft when the chain has no tension on it. But then you put the dummy tensioner in, where the primary tensioner would go, and by tensioning the primary chain it pulls the sprocket slots back to the center of the mounting holes. I think you are talking about the secondary timing chain and in that case you're correct. I was replying to the original post though regarding the main timing chain.

None of those S50's

Добро пожаловать!

I believe the torque reading should be the same regardless of extension length. it is the universal joint which makes the torque incorrect.

Yes when I said up and down, i didnt mean 12 to 6. The positions you see in the video is correct

@@HansGarage thank you so much 😁

vincent chew if you can and dont mind to spend it id get it to make sure and get it done properly

do you have a video on lower timing chain?

vincent chew i do not at the moment :(

lol no worries. the video been a great help

Every thing turns fine but the timing slowly gets thrown off tdc and the two can marks aren’t lining up anymore and I notice the main tensioner decompress and the plastic piece slaps the head

King Ryan oh nooooo, one thing about over heating engine is you dont drive it back home no matter how far... it sounds like your engine is warped and done.... idk if you can save it my friend

HAN'S GARAGE which means I have to take it to be machined again the oil and water didn't mix my oil is clean

Oil in spark plug holes has nothing to do with the head gasket. That’s simply a sign of valve cover failure which is common ($50). If your fan cut your hose then your motor mounts and trans mounts are trashed, allowing the engine to move too much. As for not starting I would assume you head gasket failed or worse. Can’t really diagnose without more information but since this post is 8 months old...hopefully you fixed it by now

cmon man... are you really asking if e36 M3 has 4 or 6 cylinder engine??

King Ryan not too familiar with the e36 cluster.... but I do know for e46 when the cluster isn't working you have to get your dme reprogrammed.

HAN'S GARAGE thanks buddy hoping someone here can help me out I don't wanna buy a new cluster then its not a cluster issues if you know what I mean ?

King Ryan yea but good thing is that used clusters arent that expensive on ebay actually. Given the fact that e36 are old now maybe it is the cluster? What is working and what isnt??

HAN'S GARAGE None of the gauges are working only the battery light the abs light and some other light its making a buzzing sound like a bed side snooze alarm, dude I blew a head gasket a few months ago and sold my other car, fixed the bm now recently due to delays and one f up my thermostate 10ml bolt snapped into my head etc, it's most important that I can see my heat/water gauge temperature at all times these cars have a high tendency of overheating due to thermostate failure

Good news dude it was the cluster second hand cluster R900 convert it into dollors ? I'm back on the streets burning it up lol

Zach Kramer ill get to it in the spring :)

Why don't you read my description box?

Yea 10mm screws or nuts just for me to have enough room to tighten the chain

Screws and nuts aren't the same thing.

sachelle babbar thank you for pointing that out :)

oh this will be real good :)
