BMW 2002 Camshaft
The BMW 2002 Camshaft coordinates the actions of the valves to those of the crankshaft, allowing the traditional sport sedan to breathe easily throughout its rev range. Housed in hardened steel or cast iron, the Camshaft rotates at half crank speed via a chain or belt, with its carefully shaped lobes pushing against the valve gear so intake and exhaust ports open at the exact instant mixture flow and combustion require them to be. In the standard 2002 engines, a single overhead Camshaft operates all four cylinders, which is a balance between compact size and accurate timing, while twin arrangements applied in other vehicles are bulkier but allow even higher rev ceilings. Within the 2002 lineup, subtle Camshaft profile changes adjusted duration, lift, and lobe separation to tailor idle quality and power, the sportier versions being given sharper throttle response. BMW enthusiasts are aware that an oil of correct viscosity is essential, as the alloy's surfaces rely on that film to ward off the ravages of friction. Should scoring or breakage appear, replacement of the Camshaft is the only sensible remedy to ensure continued smooth pulling of the beloved BMW, bringing it to the redline.

BMW 2002 Camshaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q:How to remove the camshaft on BMW 2002?Posted by Eileen D.A:If the engine is in the car, remove the Cylinder Head and withdraw the distributor, then remove the fuel pump and partially withdraw the operating rod. When the engine is out of the car, the camshaft can be removed with the cylinder head still fitted to the block, ensuring that no Piston is at TDC by turning the Crankshaft 90° from the no. 1 TDC position to prevent valve heads from fouling the pistons. Begin by removing the oil distribution tube, then release the Rocker Arm eccentric adjusters and open the valve clearances to the widest gap. Before withdrawing the camshaft, all pressure on the cam lobes made by the rocker arms must be released. A special tool is available from BMW dealers, but an alternative method involves making two or three fork-ended tools from flat steel. Turn the camshaft using a lever until only three rocker arms exert pressure on their valve stems. With assistance, engage the fork-ended tools on the three rocker arms and depress them simultaneously to allow careful withdrawal of the camshaft from its bearings and extraction of the thrust plate, ensuring not to over-depress the rocker arms. Finally, unscrew and remove the two bolts retaining the camshaft guide plate, slide the plate downwards, and withdraw it.Answered by BMW Parts Specialist Brad / Oct 28, 2025
