I'd like to have the instructions on camshafts swap/chang and head service. Also, rear differential bushing removal.

rear differential bushing removal is easy. What do you like to know about camshafts swapping/changing and head service?? Please be specific.

[Ayham]

I know it is...I just wanted to see it in pictures if available.

Regarding the head work, I'd like to see a complete cams removal and reinstallation, how clearances are measured, and the usage of the special timing tools and double VANOS timing as well.

Which car are we talking about? Any VIN??

Ohhh, sorry!!

Yea, E46 M3, S54 engine..

Is the bushing part number "33 31 2 283 419"?? If not please provide it.

[Ayham]

From memory, it ends with 484...

No life here!

Ayham, 484 is the front rubber mounting for cars with transmission cover. I'm working on getting something for you on both issues.

[Ayham]

Yes, these were made for models after March 2002...

Ayham, I emailed you something on the bushing. Please check and let me know. Feel free if you need more information or feel that this is nothing new ;)

[Ayham]

Yup! Received..I'll go through it. But it looks like it's for the updated subframe with 2 diff front bushes. Same procedure anyway :)

Thanks...

Rear Curtain

hi, i've got 325i 2003 E46, problem is with the rear curtain. It was working fine but now it does not rolls up completely. Moves few centimeters towards up and dats it. It will go back in once i press the button again.

Any tips for fixing it?

Thanks :please::typing:
