Very good video and good advice. Oil pump removal isn't that difficult on the M62, but it is important to do it right and take the time needed to do it properly.
Hi and thanks for watching. I have another video that shows how to install it and all the torque specs. Have a look at this link or browse through my channel. th-cam.com/video/FqD7F75aJWk/w-d-xo.html
tbh I bought a 740i M60 manual like 3 months ago and I was looking for videos like this one to do some maintenance jobs like oil pump, gaskets and so on.
@@chrizcarz Glad to be able to help with what I can. You car must have been converted to Manual? I have never driven a manual E38, I am sure it is fun. What type of gearbox does it have?
When locking the flywheel in place does the pin match up, or might there be a need to move the flywheel? If moving the flywheel is required, how can that be achieved? Amazon doesn’t have that particular pin. Could I use a bolt or another piece of metal rod? It seems like I could as the only goal is to stop the flywheel from moving. Lastly, why would the flywheel have a chance at moving? Thanks
Hi. Use whatever you have on hand with that diameter as long as it is tight fit. Use a ratchet on the crankshaft bolt at front of the engine to move and align the holes so you can lock the crankshaft or if easier just use an impact tool to remove the nut🤜🤛
@@TheKeenMechanic got it. I’m heading out to the garage now to do the easier stuff like lower oil pan and the oil pump. It’s an Arizona, USA car. Zero rust despite being almost 24 years old. Makes working on it much easier. One owner. Older gentleman owned it until he died at 76yo. Car sat for 3 years. BMW of Scottsdale maintained. The guy even went there for oil changes. The owners wife took it for a drive and it seems like she went off the road into a dirt incline. Top of the upper oil pan has a split right on the top but the oil pans are not severely dented. Lower pan lip is dented. Needing to be replaced is Aux fan, Radiator, engine fan, fan shroud, most of the tire steering components on both side, undercarriage plastic shields, entire bumper and two fog lights. Hope to replace everything for less than $1,000. Bought the car from the insurance company for $800 with 97k miles on it. Wish I could share pics with you. Thank again. I have your videos saved on my iPad and they go under the car with me😀
@@paperandmedals8316 Wow, thats amazing. I have never worked on a rust free car unfortunately. Cars here in the UK are rust buckets. Thanks for sharing the history of the car with me. Always nice to hear from other E38 fans. I think you can manage to find spares for 1k. Here in Europe we have a lot of chice for brand new spares and sometimes it is cheaper to buy brand new. Try to find used bumper and other parts that don't necessary have to be new but I recommend you get a new radiator at least. Best of luck and thanks for watching and appreciating my videos.

All engines are similar to a certain extent. Mine is a 4.4 petrol and yours is a 4.0 diesel so there would be some differences. I advise you to get yourself ISTA+ and use the workshop information there so you know exactly what you are doing🤝🏻
@Tino Hernandez Open this link to my video and check ebay link below the video and it will show you the full kit I bought with the pin. It is called crankshaft locking pin for m60 m62 m62tu engines th-cam.com/video/PD07qYztc4Q/w-d-xo.html

Yes, seems like I already answered this question 4 months ago. Thanks

Awesome video by the way I learned alot
Thanks
For sitting in oil for 24 years those were some seriously torqued bolts and gear nut.
Better to be tight than to fall into the lower sump 😁
i lost one of theese nust and the bolt can i just use a regular one ?
If I were you I would buy the correct bolt and nut from BMW. Risk is too big imo🤝
@@TheKeenMechanic i did that haha thanks!
@@joelgraba1077😉 Not worth loosing an engine for a few bucks🤝
do you have a video to show us how to adjust the oil pump chain ?
Hi Omar. I don't have one but will be making one at some point this year. Thanks for your message
@@TheKeenMechanic is there a way to do it?
Is it similar in M67D40?

won't the new oil pump have new 0 rings?
Not 100% sure as I like to reuse and refurbish what I can. Probably depends on the manufacturer
Awsome video mate.
Thank you Matthew. Always nice to see your comments. Much appreciated
@@TheKeenMechanic no worrys mate I put my first video up lol I have a lot to learn 🤣.
@@matthewbarnes1561 Thats great news mate. Will take a look later when I get a chance. We are all constantly learning mate
Did it take alot of force to remove it?
Not at all. It was very easy to remove in my case. Thanks for watching buddy
Where do you get the pin that locks the crankshaft thanks in advance
Hi. It comes as a kit. I bought mine on ebay
Is there a meme for it and is it nesasary to change the oil pump thanks for answering back god bless you and you family
A name for the pin sorry not meme
@@tinohernandez3247 Hi
It is up to you if you want to change the pump. I personally would only change the o-rings
@Tino Hernandez Open this link to my video and check ebay link below the video and it will show you the full kit I bought with the pin. It is called crankshaft locking pin for m60 m62 m62tu engines

No problem buddy. Always happy to help another BMW classic fan with the M60/M62 engine.
My pleasure and thanks for your comment
