Nice job - love Race German stuff. I rebuilt the vanos on my e38 as part of the whole timing chain job. I know what you mean about the rattle, so glad it’s gone!

[@jackbowescinema8002]

I’ve been really happy with it! I found them because someone was selling the intake on marketplace so I ended up looking them up.

@@jackbowescinema8002 yep - I got their fuel injector rebuild kit when I had a vacuum leak caused by a worn o-ring. Great kit. Drove me nuts trying to find that leak, until I used a smoke machine!

How do you know if the vanos stopped working

[@rmiller8832]

Did you drop the teflon ring into hot water to expand it? Was there an arrest made next door? Great video editing etc. Thanks for sharing.

[@jackbowescinema8002]

Thanks! Probably an arrest haha, normal Orlando. I didn’t use hot water. I did soaked the teflon in oil for a little bit.

I have the same kit from race German, no clue what the 2 copper crush washer are for though. Any idea?

[@jackbowescinema8002]

Yes! Those go on both sides of the vanos line to the vanos.

[@JJSmooth225]

Thanks! I am having the same issue of play with the new ring, how much did you have to sand it down?

[@jackbowescinema8002]

@@JJSmooth225 jeez probably about 500 swipes on each side. It took forever

[@JJSmooth225]

Awesome thanks a lot for the replies!

[@jackbowescinema8002]

@@JJSmooth225 No worries! It wasn’t a lot on each side all at once. I assembled and disassembled the vanos a lot of times checking the preload.

[@kim288194]

Hi did you also lock the flywheel pin, too? Or don’t need to do that?

[@jackbowescinema8002]

I didn’t have the tool but made sure the crank was at TDC before reassembling everything
