Very nice DIY Frank. Most tuned( 20+ psi) n54's blow the front and rear seal out very early. An oil filler cap breather can prevent this. Dutch regards, Nico.
@Marzipan Jones isn’t there too much crankcase pressure in the first place, I thought it was a good idea to use a breather filter to relieve some of that excess pressure?
What did you use to degrease the areas where the sealant primer is applied? I tried brake cleaner and I can't get my primer to dry, waited an hour and still no joy, any tips are extremely welcomed. Thank you very much.
@@Garageaholic I don't think they sell them that way anymore, I ordered one and none of that came with it, just the gasket, I emailed them and the response I got was, only the gasket comes in the box, guess I don't luck out.
Honestly, you know how BMW has a special recommended sealant. The properties with this is that it is high temp, oil resistant, and seals the tiny crevices that normal RTV won’t. It’s a gamble, but imho a low risk gamble if you use standard gasket maker.
Toyota FIPG Oil Pan gasket maker sealant is the sh*t for this application, or any other...have you seen any modern TOYOTA engines as far oil leaks go ? None...Lol.

Thanks for the video. Really practical method without fancy $200+ "BMW seal intallation special tools"
You’re welcome
You were using a socket to push that Loctite into the seal... lol break down and get the little dispenser, it's nice! TY for the video.
Nice job, very informative 👍

Nicely done
Where can I get those plastic adapter pieces? They didn't come with my seal.
They came with the kit I bought on fcp euro

Nice video and thanks for posting...How far do you drive it in? Until it bottoms out or until flush with the surrounding engine block area?
Yup, until it’s flush with the block! Once it’s flush, you can use the specified RTV
How much is it suppose to stick out?
Must be flush.
I did this without the primer and just rammed it in. It now leaks pretty badly. So do this RIGHT the first time or you WILL REGRET it.
Thanks for that feedback!!! You’re right!
can i just use the red silicone (head gasket sealer) to seal it?
Yeah wondering how important this is lol. Can’t find it in Canada easily and it’s not cheap

Your dangerous on making leaps of logic without any knowledge or experience.
