FAQ Content

***UPDATE — 6 months after completing this repair, I removed my oil pan to check and the bolts and nuts were all still tight. So the repair has worked and things are still looking great. ***

In this video we’re working on the BMW V8 M60 engine (E34 540i had this engine, as did E32 740i, E38 740i, and E31 840i).

If you run into problems, head over to bimmerforums.com. There are a lot of great guys there who are happy to help — they helped me diagnose this problem and so I decided to video it to help anyone else.

This video shows you how to fix low engine oil pressure that causes two related symptoms:

1) the engine ticking that is coming from the cylinder heads, caused by low oil pressure, which is making the valve lifters collapse

2) low engine oil pressure, which is indicated on the dashboard check panel as “ENGINE OIL PRESS”

Likely cause of low engine oil pressure:
It is common for the oil pump bolts to become loose on these engines, and over time, back themselves out and fall into the oil pan.

You may have this problem if you are seeing the two symptoms described above.

One quick way to tell is if you drain the oil from the car, and using a rubber mallet, rap on the bottom of the oil pan at its lowest point. You can hear the bolts in the pan bouncing around — you will need to drain as much of the oil as possible and give the pan a good whack with the mallet. When I did this, it sounded like quarters bouncing around in there.

Even a newbie can follow the steps in this video and fix the problem at home. Here is what you will need:

TIME: 2-3 hours for a weekend warrior. 4-6 for a novice.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED:
• A Bentley repair manual for E34 can be helpful for this and other repairs in the future, but not required as this video explains the steps well
• jack stands
• floor jack
• oil pan for catching old oil (needs to hold 8+ quarts)
• several rags
• nitrile/vinyl gloves
• 3/8″ ratchet drive and various extensions
• 3/8″ drive sockets 10m, 13mm, 17mm
• 3/8″ drive torque wrench, or 1/2″ drive torque wrench with 3/8″ adapter
• 1/4″ ratchet drive with 10mm socket
• Breaker bar (I used 1/2″ drive with a 3/8″ adapter) just to coax off the oil drain plug, and maybe for the oil filter housing
• 10mm open end wrench
• gasket scraper or razor blade and steady hand
• 8mm hex wrench (allen key)
• headlamp, flashlight or shop light will be helpful
• a very large adjustable (crescent) wrench, or 36mm socket or 36mm wrench for the oil filter housing. A special socket is available from bavauto.com for this, P/N 02341

PARTS YOU WILL NEED:
• BRAKE PARTS CLEANER – - I didn’t use this in the video, but so many of you commented and it’s a great idea… I should have used it. Use it to clean the oil out of the threads on the bolts and the holes the bolts will go into, before you apply the locktite. Thanks for the suggestion guys!
• 8 quarts of new oil – I suggest Mobile 1, 0w40. Personally, I used 1 quart of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer and 7 quarts of Mobile 1, 0w40.
• new oil pan gasket BMW P/N 11131436324
• new oil filter (part number depends, check realoem.com)
• new oil filter housing o-ring BMW P/N 11421741000
• new drain plug crush washer BMW P/N 07119963151
• OR you can get the oil filter set from the dealer, which includes: new oil filter + filter housing o-ring + drain crush washer as BMW P/N 11427510717
optional: Oil Pressure Switch BMW P/N 12617620512

After completing this repair, if you still have ticking, you may have a failing oil pump, or worn followers (hydraulic lifters) in the cylinder heads and will need to replace them. A Bentley manual for E34 can be helpful. So can help from a more experienced buddy from your local BMW club, BMWCCA chapter, or German auto club. Also, for some people that are having ticking or engine chatter but did not find their oil pump bolts loose, your chatter may go away simply by switching to an oil like Mobile 1, 0W40 with a quart of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer.

I welcome your comments unless you’re a douchebag or drive a Dodge. Happy wrenching.

Jim Caldwell of Fotobug reviews the Neos Overshoe.

The NEOS Overshoe slips about your existing footwear and presents one hundred% watertight safety.

Hi, I’m Jim Caldwell, and welcome to a Fotobug overview. Now, on a the latest broadcast Chris Klapheke experienced encouraged NEOS overshoes for the tumble photographer. Why overshoes? I indicate, that is not seriously a images item is it?
We made a decision to give the NEOS overshoes a genuine exercise routine. Now, these are the NEOS overshoes. They arrive in various unique styles and dimensions. These are the Adventurers, the kinds that we are heading to be examining. You will find also the Villager product, and the key difference in between these is the length of the skirt. They even have versions that have significantly extended skirts, almost like waders. They also have insulated versions, but we are heading to be testing the Adventurer.
Now, the overshoes consist of Velcro snaps, there is a light-weight but powerful rubber inner lining, and these are overshoes. What they in essence do is they match about your shoe, immediately snap up. Snap them in put, and you are all set to go.
We are capturing this in Florida, and this is a fairly standard scenario. I’m right here, in the mangroves, and I have to have to get from right here to there, and we have water in in between us. Ordinarily I might have to take off my footwear or I might have to go with damp toes all working day, but we are heading to test out these NEOS overshoes and see how they perform in this scenario. So right here I go.
Now, these are not waders, so they’re not supposed to go into waistline-deep water. In point, they’re very good for water about 12 inches deep, no additional than 12. As you can see, I’m heading via right here, and I really feel completely no water in any way coming in. In point, the water seems to be like it can be rolling off the boots like off the feathers of a duck, and my toes are nice and dry.
Effectively, the NEOS Adventurers worked terrific right here, in Florida, in water, right here, among the mangroves. But I also have an understanding of that they’re meant to perform effectively in ice and snow. Hmm, surprise how much I’m heading to have to go to locate some ice and snow.
Effectively, you can convey to that I’m not in Florida any more. In point, I’m right here at Summit Lake on a mountain, Mt. Evans in Colorado. We arrived right here due to the fact we wanted to give the NEOS boots a genuine exercise routine. As you can see, I’m sporting the NEOS boots.
I arrived out right here yesterday to scout the location out, and it ought to be colder this early morning, due to the fact the lake and almost everything is fairly significantly frozen about. Yesterday, when I was scouting, I did not have the boots on. I punched via the snow and ice, and my boots crammed up with water and my toes were being fairly chilly all working day. If I experienced experienced these on, that wouldn’t have took place. It can be my fault that I failed to don them.
I’m heading to go out on this… Uh-oh. There we go. There we go. I broke via. My toes are staying nice and dry. The boots have held the water out. They’re warm. Appear at that. Appear at this, now this is just icy water.
That is just completely extraordinary. Just to demonstrate, immediately after dancing there in the ice and icy water, pull this out, and as you can see, my boot is dry, dry as can be. Now this would be just ridiculous if I failed to have these issues on. My toes would be soaked. I might be freezing all working day, fairly significantly like I did yesterday. So, seriously, in ice and snow, these boots perform terrific.
Okay. Effectively, right here we are back in Florida all over again. When we go and look into something, we go all out. So, what did we feel of the NEOS overshoe? Effectively, indeed, I can propose it. These issues perform terrific. They’re really, really light-weight and powerful. It was also a shock to me that the tread, as you can see in this shot right here, also held us from slipping and sliding on the ice, which was something that was fairly unpredicted.
Now, keep in mind, the NEOS overshoe is an overshoe, it can be not a boot. When you buy yours make absolutely sure that you get a measurement that is major enough to match about your footwear. In point, I’m form of in in between dimensions. Mine was just a small bit sloppy, but that is Okay. They held me warm when I was in the ice and snow, and they keep me dry.
Also, just expressing, that if you’ve got acquired seriously, seriously, seriously tiny toes, or for a boy or girl, these aren’t heading to defend you in 12 inches of water. The measurement of the skirt appears to be to be relevant to the measurement of the shoe, so just expressing, just keep that in mind.
So, the NEOS overshoe, you can get yours from our good friend Chris Klapheke at www.outdoorphotogear.com.
