 S-52 Cylinder head & VANOS tools



These are most of the tools required to pull the S-52 cylinder head while keeping the cams locked into position. I'll still need to pick up a torque-angle indicator and I'm borrowing the torque driver (from the dealer) to apply 1.6Nm to the chain tensioner tool.

The "black box" and the air fitting adapter are to verify correct VANOS movement (and distance) upon reassembly.

I'll be pulling the head off an S-52 very soon to install a compression reducing spacer...

Tools look great Randy, get all of the knowledge and all the tools you can. So when I have trouble you'll be ready.

How much more is needed to pull the cams?

Based on the experiences that I have found with the people that have changed the cams to schrick, there have been 100% with scored cams and journals.

Since the cams were changed they weren't a problem any longer. The journals were touched up by Ray Kormans engine guy when I had him replace mine.

What is your policy on lending them!

Ouch on those retail prices...

SIR makes the equivalent of 113 240, and ZDMAK sells it for $89 including a 112 300. Put 113240 in their search box.

Hazet 2925 is equivalent to 112 250, but the price is the same.

Do you need 116 180?

ZDMAK also has an equivalent of 114 220, but price is about the same and the BMW one looks nicer. ZDMAK sells 113 450 for $12.99. They want $38 for 115 490 (BMW price is much better).

Randy, do me a favor next time, and ask me to look at the SIR and Hazet catalogs before ordering from Jay!

The suggested retail prices I come up with are less.
412 = $54.00
292 = $6.20
300 = 19.30
250 = $33.75
220 = $31.75
490 = $16.30
240 = $386.00
450 = $15.80
