Introduction:
The Valvetronic layout incorporates a conventional inlet camshaft and a secondary eccentric shaft, with
intermediate lever and follower, activated by a stepper motor. The stepper motor changes the phase of the
eccentric shaft, altering the action of the inlet valve. These are positioned in a camshaft carrier bracket in the
cylinder head.
BMW N42 & N46 engine setting/locking tool kit covers:
* Engine timing - checking and adjustment
* Vanos unit - removal, installation and alignment
Camshaft/Carrier Bracket Remover & Installer Tool Kit is for removal and installation of camshafts, and plus
dismantling and re-building of the camshaft carrier bracket / Valvetronic assembly.
