When I did mine - the guides looked fine. I changed them anyway. Once off, I pinched the plastic guide channels with my fingers, and they shattered like brittle candy. Same thing with my OSV. BMW - whatsamattu with this junk.
Scary stuff. http://i.imgur.com/y0BsRa6.jpg?1 |
The timing part is easy. You should rent or buy the set of timing tools made for the M62TU. They have special clamps that position and lock each (of 4) cams into place, and include a pin to lock the flywheel in place. After that, you really have to work hard to mess up the timing! You can see those black steel cam-timing clamps on the very back of the cams in tecn1k's picture. The red anodized tool in the front of the photo is part of that kit, also, keeps tension on the timing guide while the front cover is off..
Even if you don't rebuild the vanos by yourself, go to the beisan website and read the whole procedure - it shows you how to completely disassemble and reassemble the top end, step by step, with color pictures. I did rent the tools and rebuild my vanos following the beisan procedure. Didn't immediately cure all my engine noise, but the last occasional rattle went away recently when I changed the oil pump. It has lasted 2.5 years so far. |
OK all, here's my updated list of stuff to get. This should cover the major pieces: cooling, CCV, VPG, VCG, VANOS/Timing. This list doesn't seem so bad considering just the VPG done by the dealer would be over half the cost of this stuff.

which 3m headlight restoration kit did you use?
|
This is the kit I used:
http://www.amazon.com/3M-Headlight-R.../dp/B00WY5L09O I need to get some refills, because I went through 5 of the 6 gold sanding pads on just one light. My headlights were bad. This is the second vehicle I've used this kit on and the results have been great both times. |
please don't get any URO parts :(
I'd call ECS and ask if they can substitute something else. I steer clear of URO |
TECN1K - OK, wasn't sure on that. I can update that to use different part suppliers. Thanks for the heads up on that.
|
OK, all parts purchased. I haven't ordered the Beisan stuff yet, but I'll get that too. Now I just need to continue the tear down and wait for parts to arrive. I ended up going through both ECS and FCP based on prices and shipping. Overall saved a couple hundred $$.
ECS has the BMW Crankcase Vent Pipe return part #11157520742 on sale for like $12 if anyone needs one. Considering it's normally around $135 it's a steal. I also ended up not using any of the "kits" provided by either ECS or FCP. All their kits end up being more $$ than the individual parts. |

I would add in heater hoses and the seal on the oil level sender (which sits on the lower oil pan cover). The heater hoses are much easier to reach while the valve cover is off. The bolts on the timing cover also have special seals. Id replace those
