Got the valve train put back together. Here's a comparison of the old and new guides for the upper tensioners:
Tensioners re-assembled with new O-Rings
Torquing the 11mm nuts to 14 Nm
Next up was installing the new Vanos check valves (old one shown in this shot, but I got it swapped before putting the housing on)
Then the new sealing rings
New gaskets. number facing the front as seen here.
And finally the housings. 10 Nm on these 10mm bolts
Next the Vanos units, exhaust cam gears, upper chains, lower chain and guides. Unfortunately I somehow forgot to order the all plastic guide, so it will be a few days at least before I'll be able to button up the front.
