Timing chain setting

Hi Guys,

Do anyone have the procedure on how to set the timing chain on a X5 3.0i 2001?

Thank you,

DJ

are you rebuilding an engine? there are marks on the sprockets and main crank to set at tdc... this is not a diy project...

the VANOS needs to be set properly with the chain pretensioned using a few BMW special tools. there are some reverse threaded bolts as well.
absoutly not a diy project for anyone who is not a BMW technician.
