Cylinder Head 1
There are two basic types of cylinder heads used on BMW 3 Series automobiles: the Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC) and the Dual Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) cylinder heads.
These cylinder heads are made of an aluminum alloy due to its light weight, durability and heat transfer qualities. Whether made from aluminum or iron, all cylinder heads have valves and seats. Some use two valves per cylinder, while the more hi-tech engines will utilize a multi-valve configuration using 3, 4 and even 5 valves per cylinder. When the valve contacts the seat, it does so on precision machined surfaces, which seals the combustion chamber. All cylinder heads have a valve guide for each valve. The guide centers the valve to the seat and allows it to move up and down within it. The clearance between the valve and guide can be critical. Too much clearance and the engine may consume oil, lose vacuum and/or damage the seat. Too little, and the valve can stick in the guide causing the engine to run poorly if at all, and possibly causing severe damage. The last component all cylinder heads have are valve springs. The spring holds the valve against its seat. It also returns the valve to this position when the valve has been opened by the valve train or camshaft. The spring is fastened to the valve by a retainer and valve locks (sometimes called keepers). Aluminum heads will also have a valve spring shim to keep the spring from wearing away the aluminum.
An ideal method of rebuilding the cylinder head would involve replacing all of the valves, guides, seats, springs, etc. with new ones. However, depending on how the engine was maintained, often this is not necessary. A major cause of valve, guide and seat wear is an improperly tuned engine. An engine that is running too rich, will often wash the lubricating oil out of the guide with gasoline, causing it to wear rapidly. Conversely, an engine which is running too lean will place higher combustion temperatures on the valves and seats allowing them to wear or even burn. Springs fall victim to the driving habits of the individual. A driver who often runs the engine rpm to the redline will wear out or break the springs faster then one that stays well below it. Unfortunately, mileage takes it toll on all of the parts. Generally, the valves, guides, springs and seats in a cylinder head can be machined and re-used, saving you money. However, if a valve is burnt, it may be wise to replace all of the valves, since they were all operating in the same environment. The same goes for any other component on the cylinder head. Think of it as an insurance policy against future problems related to that component.
Unfortunately, the only way to find out which components need replacing, is to disassemble and carefully check each piece. After the cylinder head(s) are disassembled, thoroughly clean all of the components.
Cylinder Head OverhaulAssembly
The first step for any assembly job is to have a clean area in which to work. Next, thoroughly clean all of the parts and components that are to be assembled. Finally, place all of the components onto a suitable work space and, if necessary, arrange the parts to their respective positions.
OHC EnginesCup Type Camshaft Followers
To install the springs, retainers and valve locks on heads which have these components recessed into the camshaft follower's bore, you will need a small screwdriver-type tool, some clean white grease and a lot of patience. You will also need the C-clamp style spring compressor and the OHC tool used to disassemble the head.
- Lightly lubricate the valve stems and insert all of the valves into the cylinder head. If possible, maintain their original locations.
- If equipped, install any valve spring shims which were removed.
- If equipped, install the new valve seals, keeping the following in mind:If the valve seal presses over the guide, lightly lubricate the outer guide surfaces.If the seal is an O-ring type, it is installed just after compressing the spring but before the valve locks.
- Place the valve spring and retainer over the stem.
- Position the spring compressor and the OHC tool, then compress the spring.
- Using a small screwdriver as a spatula, fill the valve stem side of the lock with white grease. Use the excess grease on the screwdriver to fasten the lock to the driver.
- Carefully install the valve lock, which is stuck to the end of the screwdriver, to the valve stem then press on it with the screwdriver until the grease squeezes out. The valve lock should now be stuck to the stem.
- Repeat Steps 6 and 7 for the remaining valve lock.
- Relieve the spring pressure slowly and insure that neither valve lock becomes dislodged by the retainer.
- Remove the spring compressor tool.
- Repeat Steps 2 through 10 until all of the springs have been installed.
- Install the followers, camshaft(s) and any other components that were removed for disassembly.
SOHC Cylinder Heads With Rocker Arms
- Lightly lubricate the valve stems and insert all of the valves into the cylinder head. If possible, maintain their original locations.
- If equipped, install any valve spring shims which were removed.
- If equipped, install the new valve seals, keeping the following in mind:If the valve seal presses over the guide, lightly lubricate the outer guide surfaces.If the seal is an O-ring type, it is installed just after compressing the spring but before the valve locks.
- Place the valve spring and retainer over the stem.
- Position the spring compressor tool and compress the spring.
- Assemble the valve locks to the stem.
- Relieve the spring pressure slowly and insure that neither valve lock becomes dislodged by the retainer.
- Remove the spring compressor tool.
- Repeat Steps 2 through 8 until all of the springs have been installed.
- Install the camshaft(s), rockers, shafts and any other components that were removed for disassembly.
OHC Heads
Whether it is a single or dual overhead camshaft cylinder head, the disassembly procedure is relatively unchanged. One aspect to pay attention to is careful labeling of the parts on the dual camshaft cylinder head. There will be an intake camshaft and followers as well as an exhaust camshaft and followers and they must be labeled as such. In some cases, the components are identical and could easily be installed incorrectly. DO NOT MIX THEM UP! Determining which is which is very simple; the intake camshaft and components are on the same side of the head as was the intake manifold. Conversely, the exhaust camshaft and components are on the same side of the head as was the exhaust manifold.
Cup Type Camshaft Followers
Most cylinder heads with cup type camshaft followers will have the valve spring, retainer and locks recessed within the follower's bore. You will need a C-clamp style valve spring compressor tool, an OHC spring removal tool (or equivalent) and a small magnet to disassemble the head.
- If not already removed, remove the camshaft(s) and/or followers. Mark their positions for assembly.
- Position the cylinder head to allow use of a C-clamp style valve spring compressor tool.
- With the OHC spring removal adapter tool positioned inside of the follower bore, compress the valve spring using the C-clamp style valve spring compressor.
- Remove the valve locks. A small magnetic tool or screwdriver will aid in removal.
- Release the compressor tool and remove the spring assembly.
- Withdraw the valve from the cylinder head.
- If equipped, remove the valve seal.
- If equipped, remove the valve spring shim. A small magnetic tool or screwdriver will aid in removal.
- Repeat Steps 3 through 8 until all of the valves have been removed.
Most cylinder heads with rocker arm-type camshaft followers are easily disassembled using a standard valve spring compressor. However, certain models may not have enough open space around the spring for the standard tool and may require you to use a C-clamp style compressor tool instead.
- If not already removed, remove the rocker arms and/or shafts and the camshaft. If applicable, also remove the hydraulic lash adjusters. Mark their positions for assembly.
- Position the cylinder head to allow access to the valve spring.
- Use a valve spring compressor tool to relieve the spring tension from the retainer.
- Remove the valve locks from the valve tip and/or retainer. A small magnet may help in removing the small locks.
- Lift the valve spring, tool and all, off of the valve stem.
- If equipped, remove the valve seal. If the seal is difficult to remove with the valve in place, try removing the valve first, then the seal. Follow the steps below for valve removal.
- Position the head to allow access for withdrawing the valve.
- Remove the valve from the cylinder head.
- If equipped, remove the valve spring shim. A small magnetic tool or screwdriver will aid in removal.
- Repeat Steps 3 though 9 until all of the valves have been removed.
Now that all of the cylinder head components are clean, it's time to inspect them for wear and/or damage. To accurately inspect them, you will need some specialized tools:
If you do not have access to the proper tools, you may want to bring the components to a shop that does.
There are several things to check on the cylinder head: valve guides, seats, cylinder head surface flatness, cracks and physical damage.
Cracks And Physical DamageGenerally, cracks are limited to the combustion chamber, however, it is not uncommon for the head to crack in a spark plug hole, port, outside of the head or in the valve spring/rocker arm area. The first area to inspect is always the hottest: the exhaust seat/port area.
A visual inspection should be performed, but just because you don't see a crack does not mean it is not there. Some more reliable methods for inspecting for cracks include Magnaflux®, a magnetic process or Zyglo®, a dye penetrant. Magnaflux® is used only on ferrous metal (cast iron) heads. Zyglo® uses a spray on fluorescent mixture along with a black light to reveal the cracks. It is strongly recommended to have your cylinder head checked professionally for cracks, especially if the engine was known to have overheated and/or leaked or consumed coolant. Contact a local shop for availability and pricing of these services.
Physical damage is usually very evident. For example, a broken mounting ear from dropping the head or a bent or broken stud and/or bolt. All of these defects should be fixed or, if unrepairable, the head should be replaced.
Cylinder Head FlatnessAfter you have cleaned the gasket surface of the cylinder head of any old gasket material, check the head for flatness.
Place a straightedge across the gasket surface. Using feeler gauges, determine the clearance at the center of the straightedge and across the cylinder head at several points. Check along the centerline and diagonally on the head surface. If the warpage exceeds 0.003 in. (0.076mm) within a 6.0 in. (15.2cm) span, or 0.006 in. (0.152mm) over the total length of the head, the cylinder head must be resurfaced. After resurfacing the heads of a V-type engine, the intake manifold flange surface should be checked, and if necessary, milled proportionally to allow for the change in its mounting position.
Certain cracks can be repaired in both cast iron and aluminum heads. For cast iron, a tapered threaded insert is installed along the length of the crack. Aluminum can also use the tapered inserts, however welding is the preferred method. Some physical damage can be repaired through brazing or welding. Contact a machine shop to get expert advice for your particular dilemma.
Valve SeatsA visual inspection of the valve seats should show a slightly worn and pitted surface where the valve face contacts the seat. Inspect the seat carefully for severe pitting or cracks. Also, a seat that is badly worn will be recessed into the cylinder head. A severely worn or recessed seat may need to be replaced. All cracked seats must be replaced. A seat concentricity gauge, if available, should be used to check the seat run-out. If run-out exceeds specifications the seat must be machined (if no specification is given use 0.002 in. or 0.051mm).
Refinishing & Repairing
Many of the procedures given for refinishing and repairing the cylinder head components must be performed by a machine shop. Certain steps, if the inspected part is not worn, can be performed yourself inexpensively. However, you spent a lot of time and effort so far, why risk trying to save a couple bucks if you might have to do it all over again-
Cylinder HeadMost refinishing procedures dealing with the cylinder head must be performed by a machine shop. Read the sections below and review your inspection data to determine whether or not machining is necessary.
Cylinder Head SurfaceIf the cylinder head is warped, it must be machined flat. If the warpage is extremely severe, the head may need to be replaced. In some instances, it may be possible to straighten a warped head enough to allow machining. In either case, contact a professional machine shop for service.
Valve Guides
Unless the valve guides need machining or replacing, the only service to perform is to thoroughly clean them of any dirt or oil residue.
There are only two types of valve guides used on automobile engines: the replaceable-type (all aluminum heads) and the cast-in integral-type (most cast iron heads). There are four recommended methods for repairing worn guides.
Knurling is a process in which metal is displaced and raised, thereby reducing clearance, giving a true center, and providing oil control. It is the least expensive way of repairing the valve guides. However, it is not necessarily the best, and in some cases, a knurled valve guide will not stand up for more than a short time. It requires a special knurlizer and precision reaming tools to obtain proper clearances. It would not be cost effective to purchase these tools, unless you plan on rebuilding several of the same cylinder head.
Installing a guide insert involves machining the guide to accept a bronze insert. One style is the coil-type which is installed into a threaded guide. Another is the thin-walled insert where the guide is reamed oversize to accept a split-sleeve insert. After the insert is installed, a special tool is then run through the guide to expand the insert, locking it to the guide. The insert is then reamed to the standard size for proper valve clearance.
Reaming for oversize valves restores normal clearances and provides a true valve seat. Most cast-in type guides can be reamed to accept an valve with an oversize stem. The cost factor for this can become quite high as you will need to purchase the reamer and new, oversize stem valves for all guides which were reamed. Oversizes are generally 0.003 to 0.030 in. (0.076 to 0.762mm), with 0.015 in. (0.381mm) being the most common.
To replace cast-in type valve guides, they must be drilled out, then reamed to accept replacement guides. This must be done on a fixture which will allow centering and leveling off of the original valve seat or guide, otherwise a serious guide-to-seat misalignment may occur making it impossible to properly machine the seat.
Replaceable-type guides are pressed into the cylinder head. A hammer and a stepped drift or punch may be used to install and remove the guides. Before removing the guides, measure the protrusion on the spring side of the head and record it for installation. Use the stepped drift to hammer out the old guide from the combustion chamber side of the head. When installing, determine whether or not the guide also seals a water jacket in the head, and if it does, use the recommended sealing agent. If there is no water jacket, grease the valve guide and its bore. Use the stepped drift, and hammer the new guide into the cylinder head from the spring side of the cylinder head. A stack of washers the same thickness as the measured protrusion may help the installation process.
Valve SeatsIf the seats are in good condition, the valves can be lapped to the seats, and the cylinder head assembled. See the valves section for instructions on lapping.
If the valve seats are worn, cracked or damaged, they must be serviced by a machine shop. The valve seat must be perfectly centered to the valve guide, which requires very accurate machining.
Springs, Retainers & Valve LocksThere is no repair or refinishing possible with the springs, retainers and valve locks. If they are found to be worn or defective, they must be replaced with new (or known good) parts.
ValvesAny valves that were not replaced should be refaced and the tips ground flat. Unless you have access to a valve grinding machine, this should be done by a machine shop. If the valves are in extremely good condition, as well as the valve seats and guides, they may be lapped in without performing machine work.
It is a recommended practice to lap the valves even after machine work has been performed and/or new valves have been purchased. This insures a positive seal between the valve and seat.
Lapping The Valves
- Invert the cylinder head.
- Lightly lubricate the valve stems and insert them into the cylinder head in their numbered order.
- Raise the valve from the seat and apply a small amount of fine lapping compound to the seat.
- Moisten the suction head of a hand-lapping tool and attach it to the head of the valve.
- Rotate the tool between the palms of both hands, changing the position of the valve on the valve seat and lifting the tool often to prevent grooving.
- Lap the valve until a smooth, polished circle is evident on the valve and seat.
- Remove the tool and the valve. Wipe away all traces of the grinding compound and store the valve to maintain its lapped location.
Removal & Installation
The components of the cylinder head and the mating surface of the cylinder head and engine block are machined within very precise tolerances. The components must be thoroughly cleaned, inspected and if necessary properly lubricated upon installation. Refer to the Engine Reconditioning information in this section for additional information.

- Remove the ignition coil cover and pull off the spark plug connectors.
- Remove the complete ignition leads. Remove the cylinder head cover.
- Disconnect the coolant hoses and remove the position sensor.
- Remove the thermostat housing and thermostat. Unscrew the upper timing case cover.
- Rotate the engine clockwise until the camshaft peaks of the intake and exhaust camshafts for cylinder No. 1 face each other. The arrows on the camshaft sprockets should be facing up.
- Remove the chain tensioner. Remove the upper chain guide, chain guide bolt on the right side and the sprockets.
- Remove the cylinder head bolts in three steps in the opposite order of the tightening sequence.
- Remove the cylinder head. Clean the sealing surfaces on the cylinder head and the crankcase.
To install:
- Clean the new head bolts and the bores of the cylinder block. Do not allow oil or contaminants to fill the bores. Use a 0.012 inch (0.3mm) thicker head gasket if the head was machined.
- Before installing the cylinder head;
- Make sure the camshafts are positioned in the cylinder head such that the camshaft is in the Top Dead Center (TDC) position for the compression stroke for cylinder number 1. In this position, the tips of the camshaft lobes for cylinder number 1 are pointing toward one another and the alignment tool No. 11 3 240 or its equivalent can be placed into position.
- Install a new head gasket in the proper orientation as marked on the gasket. Check the condition of the guide dowels in the cylinder deck.
- Install new seals into the top of the front timing case.
- On M42 engines produced since 9.92, make sure the check valve with the rubber lined spacing sleeve for the oil supply to the cylinder head is properly installed into the engine block.
- Thoroughly wash the new cylinder head bolts and lubricate them with fresh engine oil.
- Place the cylinder head onto the engine block and torque the cylinder head bolts in three steps following the illustrated tightening sequence as follows:
- Step 1: 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm)
- Step 2: 90°
- Step 3: 90°
- If the camshafts were removed and installed while the cylinder head was removed, or if the camshafts are to be installed after the cylinder head is installed, a waiting period is necessary before the camshaft timing can be performed to allow the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed down and prevent the valves from contacting the pistons.
The waiting period varies depending on the work environment's ambient air temperature. The waiting period is as follows:
- Once the proper waiting period has been observed, install the camshaft alignment Tool No. 11 3 240 or its equivalent. This positions the camshafts at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the firing stroke for cylinder number 1, and the arrows on the camshaft sprockets should be facing up. If the camshaft sprockets were removed, install the sprockets with the arrows pointing up and torque to 10-12 ft. lbs. (13-17 Nm).
- Pull upward and support the timing chain by hand and slowly rotate the crankshaft clockwise until cylinder number 1 is at (TDC).
- Secure the engine at TDC by installing Tool No. 11 2 300 or its equivalent through the machined hole in the engine block, and into the flywheel. The machined hole in the engine block is located just below the starter motor, and is sealed with a removable plug.
- Install the timing chain, timing guide bolt on the right side and the upper chain guide.
- If not installing a new tensioner piston, knock the outer sleeve of the tensioner piston so the piston is released from the sleeve. Assemble the tensioner with the spring, the piston and the snaprings in position. Place in a vice and press together until both snaprings engage. If the piston starts to extend, the procedure must be done again. The compressed tensioner length should be 2.697 inches (68.5mm).
- Install the tensioner into its bore and tighten the plug to 17-19 ft. lbs. (23-27 Nm). Push the tensioner rail against the tensioner to release the tensioner piston.
- Remove the camshaft and crankshaft alignment tools. Install the front timing upper cover using new gaskets filling the seam gaps with a suitable non hardening sealer. Press down on the cover to align it with a the cylinder head. Install the bolts and torque to 53-62 inch lbs. (8-10 Nm) for M6 bolts and 15-17 ft. lbs. (20-22 Nm) for M8 bolts.
- Install the thermostat housing using a new gasket and torque to 53-62 inch lbs. (8-10 Nm).
- Install the camshaft position sensor.
- The balance of installation is in reverse order of removal noting the following.
- Fill and bleed the cooling system with the proper mixture of coolant.
- Change the engine oil and filter.
- Check and top off all fluid levels.
- Connect the negative battery cable and check for normal operation.
- Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions in the beginning of this section.
- Drain the cooling system.
- Relieve the fuel system pressure.
- Remove or disconnect the following:Negative battery cableFuel feed and return linesIntake manifoldIgnition coil cover and remove the spark plug connectorsAll the fasteners securing the brackets for the ignition coil wire harness, then move the harness aside to access the cylinder head coverCylinder head coverCoolant hoses and temperature sensorThermostat housing and thermostatUpper timing case cover
- Rotate the engine in the direction of the rotation until the camshaft peaks of the intake and exhaust camshafts for cylinder No. 1 face each other. The arrows on the cam sprocket should face up.
- Remove or disconnect the following:Chain tensioner, the upper chain guide, the chain guide bolt on the right side and the camshaft sprocketsCylinder head bolts in the reverse order of the tightening sequence (from the outside to the inside) in at least 3 stepsCylinder head
To install:
- Install the cylinder head with a new gasket and bolts. Tighten the bolts in sequence as follows:Step 1: 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm)Step 2: +90 degreesStep 3: +90 degrees
- The balance of installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
- Fill the cooling system.
- Start the engine and check for leaks.NOTEIt may be necessary to bleed the cooling system a second time after the engine has been started.
