    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    You dont have to lock timing when removing vanos. I have done 4-5 vanos services, it is very easy to do. Just remove valve cover and then vanos unit. There has always been really big difference after vanos seal replacement in low/midrange torque.

    Albi Blue 200 >> BMW E46 Track Car

    Btw. are you losing oil with that engine? Maybe good idea to install new set of piston rings. M54 oil control rings are so sad story, most of engines use oil. And when you drive hard you lose even more.
