For the VANOS system, the short spline shaft has two opposing helical spline cuts on inside and outside. Double VANOS timing without special tools Tools: Two small common vise blocks for clamping the cam square ends; not too long since the EX side does not have much room by the left wall, and not too short since this loose accuracy.

Torx external sockets and internal drive bits. No need to have the TDC locking pin on the fly wheel. Assuming the head is already bolted to the block, with the cam shafts installed with the 1 cam lobe on both shafts pointing to each other.

If not then you need to learn how to do this without damaging the valves. Rotate the cam square ends such that their edges are right angle to the top of the head. You can use a square to check this, and then clamp the square ends down with the vises resting FLAT on the head. This is cam TDC position. At this point the special Cigar chain tensioner should be screwed in hand tight to lock the chain, and double check the sprocket triangle position.

Bolt down the three studs to spec on the EX cam. Assuming the secondary sprockets and chain were tied together with string during removal, and so their relative position to each other is not changed. The Bentley said 1mm, but I think 2mm protruded out is better. You want more rather than less so later the VANOS piston can apply positive force on the cups during bolting it down.

The built in spring does not guarantee this during bolting it down, so get an appropriate length socket and use it as a spacer between the piston and the big cover HEX nut?
