[jrhaile]

there is a topic that was just discussed which gives lots of details... search for it and you'll have most of your answers answered.

Sorry to hijack......kind of on topic. Does anyone know if m3 cams can be added to a non-vanos m50 engine?

[Silencer]

Search engine SUCKS!!!! I don't think s50 cams will work on a NON-Vanos....I've read it somewhere. pretty sure it doesn't work...anyhow NO of me ?? are answered but thanks anyways....

i believe that you have to replace the vanos unit along with the cams

I don't think you have to. I just did a head gasket and i was talking to my mechanic about changing my cams, i didn't get the impression that you had to change the vanos unit. He did say that you would need all new lifters and what not though.

as far as replacing the cams, I would do it my self, it's not a hard job, it might be long, but it's not hard...

And yes, their recently was a topic about this... here:

dont you require expensive tools to safely install the cams without damaging them? i dont think cams are the best thing to install yourself because it requires a lot of work.

No you do not require any specific, or expensive, tools. You can use the pelican parts DIY to remove and install new cams without damaging them.

You will need a special camshaft locking tool if you need to adjust your cam timing though.
