I drive it like that,because I don't really have time to mess with it now.
X runs strong,no acceleration hesitation etc. gas mileage is the same.
On the first cold start I hear the chain slamming,so I may need to look if the brand new FEBI tentioner is still good.
This far I made 3500 kms and in a couple of weeks I was planning on getting the oil change and probably get into the correcting the issue.

Now regarding the timing tool.
Have you noticed that the grooves for the camshafts aren't perpendicular to the engine heads?At least the exhaust ones for sure.
There's a kit from the competition company with consists of different camshaft locks and those are all more like a 90º to the heads.Which makes me wonder which one is the right one.

Buy G.A.S. BMW M54 Professional Cam Tool Kit

I have nothing to compare mine too,but I tried to research some baum tools rental's pictures and they also have the tool pretty similar to the one I have.


How do you move the timing wheels?How many times did you have to remove the Valve covers?

I have tried 3 times and still have it. Read on another forum that the timing tool is a crap shoot at best. Have to keep turning timing wheel clockwise very little bit at a time till code goes away
