M3 S54B32 Rocker Stuck Cylinder 6 Exhaust Cam 8

[Tommo2606]

hey guys,

I’ve been struggling for about a week now trying to do my valve adjustments, Cylinder 6 Exhaust Cam 8 I first managed to slide across with a budge halfway and since it has been completely stuck.

it moves up and down with the rocker cam and is the only one to do so and does not slide across. not sure if I’ve slid it into to heavy oil varnish.

car previous hasn’t been used for years, I bought it as have been doing all the maintenance

i’m ready to throw rocks in it

ive tried:

Sliding with screwdrivers

tapping with hammer(with centre taps)

heat gun

WD-40, Oil, Engine flush, brake cleaner, brushes

im genuinely losing my mind

Followed by prying gently back and forth.

Take care to not knick the follower shaft or bend the "teeth" on the cam sensor wheel (seen it multiple times).

I'll give it a go tomorrow, there is such little space to work with and prying on anything if its the cams it sits inbetween the "teeth" and slides on the cam itself
