Just to add some a thing for DIY to make it easier - the fit of the sleeve inside the vanos body with the bearings and shims is loose enough to allow you just to undo the big 18mm nut on the vanos piston and leave the gear bolt that is reverse thread ... just tap the vanos piston on a clean table after you have the nut out and the sleeve will come out ... this way you can start grinding the sleeve and then check the fitment

thanks for the video nice job as always

In my car that vanos piston bearing has about same clearance but it doesn’t rattle at all, I guess it’s because of that springloaded washer upgrade, my car came upgraded from factory it’s -96 e39

How do you prevent the cam from rotating did the timing go off timing in the intake cam shaft?

Thanks for the video! It is by far one of the best vanos rebuild walkthroughs online! I am attempting to resolve a rattling issue on my s52. I was wondering if I should order the dr vanos kit or do it myself.

Nice DIY guys. I did the Vanos washer upgrade and the Beisan anti-rattle kit ( Jan. 2011)on my M50B25 vert, make 10-'93, at 190k km's. But after 2 years I read on a BMW forum the Beisan o-rings is as bad as the BMW OEM ones. I can't tell because I'm now on only 213k km's, because I drive my vert only about 3000 km a year, hahahaha. Maybe the Amazon ones are a different better brand. BTW I tightened the washer nuts at 9 Nm instead of the recommended 10 Nm, because it would move even more smoothly( read it on a forum). After the washer upgrade and anti-rattle kit, I had a completely "new" car!! Dutch regards, Nico.

Good job! I will do mine soon, is rattling but not as bad as yours so I can postpone few more weeks 😂👍

Where or whom did you get the Intake Gear replacement washers, spring, and longer bolts from

Благодаря за полезния клип! Чакам да ми дойдат уплътненията и го започвам! Има малко луфт, но не трака. Да го разглобявам ли да го шлайфам или може да сменя само уплътненията? Поздрави!

Hi do you use flywheel lock pin?

Silicone is best for rubber and plastic. I would suggest a moly grease for this. Also, I hope the cap nut was installed and torqued before checking for free play. I didn't see him say or do that. I would also suggest you follow all factor torque specs. They are not decided randomly. Increasing or decreasing this value will eventually cause regret.

Need help please. I cant tell if it's the vanos or something else. My disa valve was lose and broken. I fixed That but still noise coming.

Поздрави за страхотния канал и полезните клипове ! Също така имам един въпрос, когато се повреди ваноса това води ли до ниско налягане на маслото и влошено мазане на разпределителните валове.

My problem is rattling. I don't know if it's the vanos or not. But when It idles then rattles. Coming between the engine intake. Somewhere there. When I accelerate u can't hear it anymore.

Wow thats loud!!!

Do yo need to block the camchaft and flyweel? I watched a video about the double vanos from nathans diy and he said if you do not move any thing you dont...

👍😎

Is this only an issue for single Vanos M52s? Was it fixed for the double vanos M52TU?

Здравей да попитам след като съм с м54 всмукателен и м50 без ванос пак всмукателен вал lock-ването как става пак ли като при теб само единия или филма е друг? Благодаря предварително. Поздрави🎉

Пичове къде ви се намира сервиза ? :) Поздрави от фен! PS: Намерих ви ;)

the sandpaper its P320 not 470 ;)

Why do all the accented youtubers seem to be more knowledgeable? I came here trying to understand how vanos work and the assembly process makes it all clear.

Витоновия и тефлонов пръстен какви ползвахте? Че на пазара в момента има няколко (полски немски английски)? Ще ми се наложи и моя ванос да обслужа за това питам.

Това е дизелов м50 :D майтап си права. Аз ще вкарвам мойта че ми тракат хидравличните повдигачи та да видим кви змии и гущери ще излязат

Защо не запали от първия път? Приятел има същия проблем с м50б25, мерси.
