3 Series E46 325Ci (M56) COUPE
Bearing strips are marked "A" for exhaust side and "E" for inlet
side.
Note centering dowels on retaining pins at bearing points 2
and 7.
Install bearing strips.
Installation
Installation of camshafts is described separately from removal.
The assembly sequence for removal and installation is different.
Note:
Camshafts, bearings and bearing caps, friction washers, all
splines on toothed shafts and spline hubs must be oiled
before installation.
Important!
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.
