N62 compression test question

[Bmwe5320023.0]

I have no doubt the leak is from the valves.
I'm trying to understand the valvetronic system but cannot find information.

It's possible I didn't time the engine properly. Because I tried doing a leak down test on it when it was out and I was timing it. But then I had leaks on all cylinders.

My friend told me it's normal, because valvetronic system was not installed.
I'm now thinking he had no clue what he was talking about.

I was extremely sure I timed everything correctly.

What I'm trying to understand right now is how this valvetronic shaft actually works. I can't find anyone talking about this one specific aspect of it.

With the valvetronic motors removed, can the valvetronic shaft be exerting pressure on the camshafts still, through the intermediate lever, keeping the valves open? Is for, how can I make sure that the valvetronic is in a position where it doesn't exert any pressure on the camshaft?

What I'm trying to dissect is if it's possible that the valvetronic shaft is causing my valves to stay open, or if something happened to camshaft timings.

That's why ideally I would love to see people's values of valvetronic systems and camshaft positions on INPA to compare it to mine.

But it doesn't seem I'll be able to get the information I need. So I'll take things apart again and try to retime it. But what if I take it apart, and find everything properly timed? What if the valvetronic is somehow interfering with camshaft timing? I don't know what to do then. TIS procedures don't mention anything about valvetronics when timing the engine..


I've also been looking at TIS and some things are confused.
I don't understand what camshaft adjuster they're talking about

11 31 071Check the timing for the camshafts on the right (N62/N62TU)

Attention!
When the engine is stopped, the intake and exhaust camshaft adjusters are normally locked in their initial setting.

The situation may arise in some individual cases where this initial setting is not reached and the camshaft can continue to be rotated in the adjustment range of the camshaft adjuster.

In order to avoid incorrect timing adjustment, it is essential to check the locking of the camshaft adjuster and if necessary perform locking by rotating the camshafts.

Checking locking of intake adjuster in initial setting:

Position at the hexagon head of intake camshaft and try to carefully turn the intake camshaft against the direction of rotation.

If there is no fixed connection between intake camshaft and intake camshaft adjuster, rotate intake camshaft against direction of rotation until limit position.

The intake adjuster is locked in the initial setting when the intake camshaft is non-positively connected to the intake adjuster.

Checking locking of exhaust camshaft adjuster in initial setting:

Align at the hexagon head of the exhaust camshaft and carefully attempt to rotate the exhaust camshaft in the direction of rotation.

If there is no fixed connection between exhaust camshaft and exhaust camshaft adjuster, rotate exhaust camshaft in direction of rotation until limit position.

The exhaust camshaft adjuster is locked in the initial setting when the exhaust camshaft is non-positively connected to the exhaust camshaft adjuster.

Attention!
If the intake or exhaust camshaft adjusters of the camshafts ”cannot” be locked as described, the adjuster is faulty and must be replaced.
