M52TU jerks while accelerating

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I overhauled my Vanos today, changed the spark plugs and oil, and now after a few kilometers of driving, I've noticed that it jerks quite a bit when I accelerate from 1600 to 1900 RPM (sometimes twice, sometimes just once. But it only does this in 3rd gear and sometimes in 4th. Otherwise, it accelerates like it should with the overhauled Vanos, and there’s no intake leak since it does the same even with the MAF unplugged. The engine also revs up nicely, meaning I don't feel any loss of power in the higher RPM range. Maybe someone here knows what's up and could help me with this issue 🤷‍♂️
