3 Series E36 328i (M52) COUPE
Installation
Installation of camshaft is described separately from removal.
Assembly sequence for removal and installation is different.
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. During a rapid assembly sequence, the
"closed" valves may still be open and be in contact with the
piston.
You must adhere to the following waiting periods after installing
the camshaft and before cranking the engine back to the TDC
position.
