HOW TO Install Upgraded VANOS And Helical Gears from Dr. Vanos Part 2

[@Swanicyouth]

I think you are one of the only people making videos who actually understand what you are doing when it comes to S54 vanos. You are able to explain what you are doing & WHY. Videos are excellent. If you get a chance, I know BMW has some solenoid tool to pressurize or de-pressurize the vanos. I’m wondering if you know what exactly the purpose of that tool is & what you are doing to get around it.

love the fact that you left the plugs and drive belts on. Felt your agony rotating the engine as I catch myself doing that too often lol. excellent clear instructions as always with the video guys. it gets right to the point.. step by step! keep up the good work and thanks for keeping the s54 enthusiasts spirit alive

Many thanks for this series of well presented videos. They helped me understand the process and managed to get my VANOS and cams timed spot on first time. Keep up the good work.

Appreciate it, we intend to get back on here. Life and too many interests has been in the way for a while. How is your project coming along?

Ok..watched again a second time. When in TDC pins should align. Great video!! Thank you so much. Just finished rebuilding the intake on vanos. Exhaust is next. Additional for the sweet apot with the most movement inward on the gears. Also did valve adjustment before starting the vanos rebuild. She is going to purr once I fire her up after I double check everything. Got new plugs as well. Can't wait to fire her up. They state around 200 miles to break everything in from Besian on package.

[@Osti5000]

👏🏻very good video, it helped me a lot. My English isn't that good but I made it 👍🏻 I wish there were videos like this in German too. unfortunately there is absolutely nothing about the engine in German 😒

[@FatboysGarage]

You have a good point. We may be able to make that happen....

[@gregp1]

Excellent videos guys... massive thanks

Cams aligned with the tool, pin is in all bolts are tight. When i turn the crank manually one full rotation and reach back to tdc the pins do not align, however if i move them with a wrench a little both pins go in fine

[@chrisc_m3414]

This is excellent information keep them coming :D

[@eduki]

Great vids guys!!

[@FatboysGarage]

Thank you so much we really appreciate it!

[@colts205]

This is really useful and clear information thanks for all the videos. It would be so useful if you can list the parts you purchase from Dr.vanos to replicate this amazing DIY. Thank you for the videos

[@FatboysGarage]

Yuri Marins yes I can post a list in the description- however I’d give Dr VANOs a call and talk to him, he will make proper recommendations as well👍

[@FatboysGarage]

- Upgraded VANOS w/ new solenoids - S54 Cryo treated Exhaust hub (30% stronger) these often break - S54 Intake hub - S54 REM coated Cam Gears - Upgraded Cam gear bolt set - S54 modified intake gear - S54 modified Exhaust gear - upgraded S54 Timing Chain guide-(ours was broken) - S54 VANOS Oil line

[@chanmanx1029]

Is it not necessary to do the pretension step after loosing the bolts on the hubs to adjust timing?

[@meayman1]

so if one cam is out of timing no need to do the retention trick and the 5mm gap ?

[@bsouza1675]

So you don’t torque the outer hub bolts. You just get them reasonably tight. Correct? Thanks for the VID 👍

[@FatboysGarage]

B Souza at first yes, but if you follow closely you torque them all down.

[@Jetbill007]

Good question. I think a lot of people over torque this bolts since you don’t have clearance for a torque wrench. It’s an important part of the procedure , how tight do they need to be?

[@elijahkilmon2341]

Now should I advance both hubs clockwise until they stop doing it this way?

[@rafaelperdomo2182]

excellent no bs

Always brother
