3 Series E36 325i (M50) CONVER
Caution!
The bucket tappets expand when not subjected to load by the
camshaft and therefore require some time before they can be
pushed back down. As a result, even the "closed" valves can
still be open and located at the piston during a rapid assembly
sequence.
You must adhere to the following waiting periods after installing
the camshaft and before cranking the engine back to the TDC
position.
