3 Series E46 330xd (M57TU) SAL
The gasket thickness must be recalculated when work is carried
out on the crankshaft drive or pistons.
Measuring the piston clearance:
Fit dial gauge with measuring fixture special tool 00 2 530 on
cleaned engine block sealing surface and set under pretension to
zero.
Position piston at TDC.
Clean piston at measuring points (1 and 2).
Fit dial gauge at measuring point (1) on piston and determine
highest point by rotating crankshaft.
Measure and note down piston clearance at measuring points (1
and 2) on all pistons.
The highest piston clearance at the measuring points (1 and 2)
of all the pistons determines the thickness of the cylinder head
gasket.
Piston clearance 0.92 ... 1.03 mm
-
Install 2-hole cylinder head gasket.
Piston clearance over 1.03 mm
-
Install 3-hole cylinder head gasket.
Thickness of cylinder head gasket (1).
Attach crankpin to connecting rod.
Remove special tool 11 6 330 .
