⚠️ WARNING

These instructions refer to the repair of an S63B44B engine installed in a BMW M5 F10 (from 2010 onwards).
Always follow the manufacturer’s official service documentation.

Required Preparatory Work

• Remove the engine together with the front axle assembly
• Remove the cylinder head covers
• Remove auxiliary drive belt 1
  ⚠️ Warning: The A/C drive belt is an elastic belt (stretch belt)
  It is tensioned via the crankshaft pulley
  → Observe the arrow marking on the pulley
  → The pulley is preloaded – ensure it does not suddenly release when rotating with loosened bolts
• Remove auxiliary drive belt 2
• Remove the belt tensioner assembly

Disassembly Procedure

• Set the intake intermediate shaft (Valvetronic shaft) to zero lift position using the actuator motor bolt
• Rotate the engine via the central crankshaft bolt until the target intermediate lever is in position:
  • Intake camshaft recess is vertical
  • Intermediate shaft is at zero lift
• Install the special tool onto the cylinder head and preload the return spring (A)
• Loosen bolts in the following order:
  1. Upper bolt (1)
  2. Lower bolt (2) toward the spring (B)
• The tool can remain installed if continuing work on the same cylinder
• Remove the intermediate lever (guide) and extract the roller rocker arms using a magnet (C)

Installation Procedure

• Install the roller rocker arms and ensure correct seating (proper engagement/locking)
• Position the intermediate lever (guide rail):
  • First, lightly tighten the lower bolt (1) (spring side), then loosen by 45°
  • Then position the upper bolt (2) (D)
• Using the auxiliary tool (Part No. 117014):
  • Install it on the opposite side
  • Press the intermediate lever against the cylinder head
• Tighten bolts in order:
  1. Lower bolt → 10 Nm
  2. Upper bolt → 10 Nm
• Slightly preload the tool to allow the release mechanism to disengage
• After verifying the correct spring position, remove the tool
