Just what I needed. Thanks!

Great vid! thanx alot

How do you tell apart the exhaust gear from the intake gear?

what a dumb comments, have any one of you actually tried it ? NO ! because you will end up braking the firs big black bracket since here is not enough info about how to click them to release. very poor explanation of plug dissemble Man !!!

Nice double check at the end to make sure Vanos pistons are still at full retard.

After 3 days of searching for a non-crank problem, I finally found a solution to gently tap on this famous part... something that I would have done before even opening the fuse box if there was more room in the engine compartmen... when I remember my youth with my 324 TD from 1988, I managed to hit with the hammer, driver's window open, while putting the key in and start the car on the same Time 😂.... Tomorrow I dismantle the laguna seca, spring is coming. THANKS 😁

I have a question about the heat shield that you install with a zip tie (3:42). Doing this job on my 2003 e46 M3, I did not find a heat shield on the starter/solenoid when I disassembled. I've looked at a couple of BMW OEM parts sites and I can't find the heat shield in any of the blow up diagrams. Is that a standard BMW part? What is its part no.? Was it installed on ALL e46 M3s?

Awesome Video !!!! very accurate

Reminds me of my college days tapping the starter of my Civic because I was too broke to change it.😂😂😂😂

Datsun OHC L16 L18 L20 you can make a lot of power if done correctly. Depends what you want to do , if for street or Oval track racing. Getting the correct combination flat top pistons 88mm ( valve pockets has to be cut into the pistons for clearence) The correct head, the W53 head is the best to port , flow, cc and bigger valves with racing valve springs. The racing cam is also important. Oil feed modification to motor is also important. The block inside to be sanded for better oil flow. Crank oil holes made bigger and oil pump modification. If running wet sump , sump to be modified and also oil pickup. And so the list goes on, a lot of work but the Datsun OHC motor can take a lot of punishment. And the sound it gives out of the exhaust.

Do DATSUN had come with cylinder straight or it had come with v8 small block .🤔🤔

I have looked at many videos of the so-called sweet spot, but I fail to see how this could have any influence on performance. #1 If BMW was doing this in the factory why wouldn't they have it marked as to the engagement spot? They certainly didn't have some guy trying to find the sweet spot on how many thousands of engines, did they? #2 When assembling the Vanos, the gear, when connected to the Vanos pistons, is pushed all the way forward (front of car) and then the hubs are locked down hub bolts. So, the helical gear will travel the same distance when running regardless of the spot they are engaged in. #3 When you take it apart, it's not already in the sweet spot, is it? If anyone knows something I'm missing, please let me know. Regardless, this is still a great video and one that I had used, along with a lot of other printed materials, to do my Vanos.

I have a 06 sedan wrx, would this basically be the same way? Looks easier than other videos ive seen. Also where did you get the parts or can someone direct me to a good site that has OEM parts?

This is one of the best filmed and put together DIY videos ever.

Hello, I need your help! I had the vanos unit removed, but both inlet & outlet helical gears still inside the hubs/cams. At this stage, I was turning the engine over to check timing and the inlet helical gear came out (before this happened I already marked up the helical tooth in relation to hub). However I think I turned the engine over to get the helical gear back in without realising the inlet cam was not turning but the exhaust was. Now my inlet camshaft seems to be completed out of time. I am not sure what to do? Will turning the engine over cause the valves to touch pistons if the inlet camshaft timing is way out?

Curious , do you have a DIY for replacement of the pressure accumulator?

Thank you for this excellent video! I have a 06 ZCP That I’ve been wanting to do this upgrade to. But was really worried about loosing that drive ability. This made me feel better

Do you have to bleed the smg pump after removal and filling it back up? Heard it's gravity fed and shouldn't have to if air doesn't get in the lines. Wanna know what you did. Thanks

Where you located at?

Thank you

You said a mouthful brother, lots of stuff out there on the net, but most skip the information you are looking for, or its wrong, or different for your car!!!!!!

Hi there! This video is incredibly helpful. One question though: before beginning the process, is there anything I should do to prime the SMG pump? I'm pretty sure that the fluid levels change depending on whether the SMG has been primed or not so just want to make sure that when I'm refilling the reservoir, I'm filling it back up to the correct level. Thanks!

Awesome content- can I apply the same procedure on an E36 S50B32 to find the sweet spot ?

👏🏻very good video, it helped me a lot. My English isn't that good but I made it 👍🏻 I wish there were videos like this in German too. unfortunately there is absolutely nothing about the engine in German 😒

Again, great set of videos

Great set of videos, thanks

Just picking up a 78 620 king cab. Gonna put my 1.6 eco boost in it

Man what a great video. I will now go ahead and purchase the Turner CSL airbox for my E46 M3 and follow your guide. Great explanation on the CSL vs Alpha -N option.

Quite the high-speed, low drag bone scrape you got going there. A Marine Corp Drill Instructor would be proud! Thanks for making this one, guys. Casey- that's the best explanation of the 'sweet spot' that I've seen. I've watched a number of videos and nobody has shown the impact of not marking/making sure you have the *no-shit* sweet spot. Well Done!

As I was thinking about sticking some air in that hole, Casey says, "Don't use air!" LMAO

Great work, David! Always good to see how others get 'er done and thanks for taking the time to document the process with your Pops.

Lower link setup incorrectly

Been about a year since I rebuild my 03 E46 M3 and tore down most of the motor, just wanted to update because I forgot to about doing this to my vanos system and sir thank you for showing me this , I don't have a dyno sheet or anything like that but this made a huge noticeable difference all through the powerband it revs quicker mind you the motor has over 200K on it and so does the 6 speed tranny so I baby it and never run to redline, launch or do anything crazy but the motor seems more balanced now .

What rear suspension kit did you use? Also what frame notch kit?

i'm doing the vanos now with a couple of youtubers opened simultaneously to cross check steps.This was this most accurate and informative.

F

Just curious what type of issues will cause a faulty vanos wire?

Many thanks for this series of well presented videos. They helped me understand the process and managed to get my VANOS and cams timed spot on first time. Keep up the good work.

Great video

Neither BMW nor NGK recommend anti-seize. And the torque is 22 ft-lb.

Great video!!!! I have problems set cams before valve adjustment.I put pin to crank shaft.l. put timing bridge ,but I can’t turn intake or exhaust cam with 24 mm tool. Can’t you tell me way please???thanks

Great videos!

Nope. Looks punched out.

have not seen you guys in awhile --best wishes

Excellent video, I've adjusted the valves on my old solid lifter Camaro, this seems to be within the talent range of a shade tree mechanic.

Hi do you have a diagram for the wires? I want to make sure I have the right wires in the correct place.

Holy shit thank you so much

Excellent thank you

Very easy to follow thanks guys appreciate it
