The BMW N51/N51/N53/N54/N55 engine family used a vanos system that routed oil through passages in the front of the cams that were ringed by steel square cut metal recta-rings and these rings would wear into the aluminum bearing surface over time and cut grooves in them. Eventually this would lead to an oil pressure leak that would cause a failure of the VANOS system and the following codes: • 2A82 VANOS intake – stiff; jammed mechanically • 2A87 VANOS exhaust – stiff; jammed mechanically • 3100 Boost-pressure control, deactivation – boost-pressure buildup prohibited (N54 only) • Normally you would replace the VANOS solenoids when you have codes like this since that is relatively cheap and easy to do, however you could replace the VANOS solenoids a hundred times and never solve the problem if it's being caused by these grooves. The only way to solve it is to replace the cam bearing trays. Note: all engine models have replaceable exhaust cam trays, however the N51/N52 have cam trays that are integrated into the cylinder head due to the fact that they have the valvetronic system which varies the opening of the valve. If the intake bearings are grooved on this engine, you need to replace the entire cylinder head I'm afraid. • BMW discontinued the use of the steel recta-rings in 2012 and replaced them with teflon square cut o-rings. This is the model year when the N55 engine was introduced, and that engine uses the same cam trays. According to the BMW service history on my car, I had thought mine had already been replaced but as you will see, that was not the case. • This job could cost you well over $3000-$5000 depending on the shop doing the service. New cam trays are $550 for each side, so that's just $1100 in parts alone, not to mention the markup you will pay on those through the shop and whatever the labor costs. In this video I will show you how to do it yourself, but beware that it's not for the faint of heart. It's important that you have watched my valve cover gasket video so that you understand how to remove it so that you can begin the job of removing the cams: • N54 Valve Cover Gasket DIY: • BMW E90 N54 Valve Cover Gasket DIY • 00:00:00 Intro • 00:00:12 The problem, explained • 00:02:38 Timing tools needed • 00:03:06 Overview of the job • 00:04:05 Rotating the engine to top dead center • 00:04:21 Removing the fan • 00:07:10 Installing the locking pin • 00:12:59 Remove the cam bolts • 00:13:38 Removing the timing cogs • 00:14:18 Removing the timing chain tensioner • 00:15:35 Removing the cam phasers • 00:16:21 Unbolting the cams • 00:18:44 Is the intake cam tray grooved? • 00:19:39 Removing the exhaust cam • 00:20:49 Is the exhaust cam tray good? • 00:21:05 Analysis • 00:22:22 About the replacement teflon o-rings • 00:23:47 About the hydraulic lifters (valve lash adjusters) • 00:25:27 New parts have arrived • 00:28:43 Installing the new teflon o-rings • 00:30:44 Installing the new lifters • 00:32:02 About the cam alignment tools • 00:35:23 The exhaust cam goes back in! • 00:39:33 The intake cam goes back in! • 00:40:56 Torquing down the cam bolts • 00:43:44 Reinstalling the cam phasers • 00:45:35 Installing the cam locking tools • 00:46:48 Installing the timing chain tensioner tool • 00:47:48 Installing the cam bolts • 00:48:59 Installing the timing chain tensioner • 00:49:38 Removing the crank pin we're done! • 00:50:02 After reinstalling the valve cover the fuel pump fuse, we start the engine! • 00:51:48 Final thoughts • 00:52:19 Wrap-up • N5x engine family timing tool kit: https://amzn.to/3AuTw1X • Upgraded Teflon O-ring part number: 11317587757 • Intake cam tray (same for all N5x engines): 11127550913 • Exhaust cam tray (same for all N5x engines): 11127531224 • Torque Values: • Cam trays to cylinder head: 8 Nm + 60 degrees • Chain guide to cylinder head: 8.5 Nm • Chain tensioner: 55 Nm • VANOS to Camshaft: 20 Nm + 180 degrees • Further Information: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/201... • This video is for entertainment purposes only. 50sKid assumes no liability for any repairs or modifications performed by the viewer as a result of the information contained in this video.
