    Help with vanos rebuild

    Hey guys, so I just got the infamous vanos rattle and now I have to replace my vanos seals. I was hoping/wondering if anyone has the specialty tools you need to do this procedure that i could rent/borrow for $ or food and beer. :) please let me know, i have yet to drive my newly swapped s52, and thought I was going to after I finished up my exhaust, but now I have to deal with this problem.

    I am located in Seattle and could meet anywhere in the greater Seattle area. Thanks guys

        ^thanks. I've checked that out before, i was simply asking if anyone had the special Baum tools necessary for the job. I found some, thanks to hoveringuy.

          Congratulations, you have a healthy S52!

            If the M52TUB28 "needs" the same tool, than you don't need it. I replaced the seals easy as pie in a couple hours. If the S52 is the only engine that needs the tool, than ignore my comment.

              Double vanos (M52TU and M54) engines don't need the tools, the single vanos do.

                  I figured out the problem, thanks for all the help and suggestions guys. I thought the problem was way worse than it was, but hoveringuy said that it wasn't a big deal at all after he came and saw it. I ordered the beisan kits though, so I'll keep them till the vanos really goes out.
