[@kengray-i7g]

Excellent video, Mike! Clear, accurate and highly instructive as usual. Best thing is that your competence as a mechanic inspires confidence in us amateurs resulting in a successful repair! Thank you!

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you for such a great review!

[@OilBaron100]

Very helpful video, socket sizes and torque values included. Thanks for posting.

I wondered if the valley pan bolts needed to be torqued down, have the answer now thank you

Very Cool Mike! I like that you told everyone it took you 3 times to get the intake to set right. That lets them know that it is NOT easy, and even mechanics will get it wrong a few times. Great channel!!!!

[@mikes.garage]

I like that you watching it and read the slides :)

[@Shas4Ever]

This is one of the best, clean and informative video I have ever watched it. Great work and would love to see your more passionate DIY BMW work.

[@mikes.garage]

SHAHRUKH MUHAMMAD Thank you man ;)

[@Shas4Ever]

Would you plan to work on timing chain on this vehicle or engine rebuilding? Would love to watch it. I followed few top BMW'S DIY here, but after watching your performance you are the top notch!

[@mikes.garage]

SHAHRUKH MUHAMMAD Thank you so much! So happy that you like my videos! I am not planning to do it soon but hope to film one in future.

[@Shas4Ever]

Great! I am one of your subscriber, and I will get notified. Thanks for your prompt responses.

Any plan to work on transmission or differential fluid change? Thanks

[@bax442]

Its crazy how neat and easy to work on are those engines.

[@sc9955]

Thank you so much. I followed your video step by step on my 97 stage 3 dinan e39 540i. So far so good, no problems. Took me 8 hours total to do this job. Again, thank you!

Amazing video. Not one word spoken and it is very clear and precisely done. Love how clean your engine is.

All the wires make me nervous but this honestly does look pretty straight forward.

[@mikes.garage]

It is, nothing hard. 😉

[@CHARCHIKS]

Thanks once again Mike. Another Great video. I am a huge fan of your work. You really know how to maintain the M62 engine. It's a shame we won't get to see you do the timing chain guides...

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you! It's not a time yet for chain guides :)

Good luck to you with your project ;)

[@Rhosticks]

That was amazing! I watched both pt 1 and 2. I may have to do this to a 2008 550i

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you for watching! But you have completely different engine, next generation. You need to find video with N62B48 engine for correct repair.

[@mackenziedeyarmond5244]

Outstanding video, I used this to review what I needed to do to get to my oil seperator tube/hose CCV vent tube that runs from the front to the back connection. I broke it fitting to the new CCV in the back as I was having issues with oil at start up. There appears to be oil leaking on top of the valves from the intake runners as I seen puddles around the valve seats on every cylinder except the one that was open. I hope with the new CCV valve and the new oil seperator hose clears this smoke at start up. If not not sure what the next step is.

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you for watching! I hope you will get this job done and it will solve the problem!

[@tonydanev1847]

When you were installing the Manifold gasket, why you didn’t clean all the residue around it with the break cleaner? I am going to try this job soon! Please reply at your earliest. Thanks

[@mikes.garage]

Of course, you could clean it, but it was still pretty clean. By this I did not worry about it)

[@AfrozMunshi]

Great video Mike as always. at 1:46 mark, I am guessing its NOT 89 in-lb.... Correct ?

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you! 88.51 in-lb to be exact, this is equal to 10 Nm.

[@AfrozMunshi]

@@mikes.garage thanks Mike.. I was thinking ft-lb 😂 😂.. My bad..

[@mikes.garage]

@@AfrozMunshi I thought that you thought so 😉

[@tigermic11]

Hi Mike! Excellent video. My 75 year old brother just gave me his 1998 740I BMW. I said gave up on it after he seen what might have smoke coming from the back or under the car. So, he parked it in his driveway and it's been three years. I checked the radiator and it was empty. Could what you repaired in the video be the cause of the antifreeze loss or something else. Car started right up after putting in a new battery.

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you for watching! I think this is could be radiator leaking or one of the bottom hoses. Try to fill up the system with antifreeze and drive the car or maybe it would leak right a way from somewhere. I don't think this is the valley pan.

[@زمنزماْن-ف3ح]

Why is this dish placed in the middle? Is it necessary and what is it?

[@mikes.garage]

This dish plate used to seal the lower intake manifold to the cylinder heads and engine. I think this it necessary for disassemble the engine.

[@MRXCHRISS]

Are you using the same gasket maker (Permatex Moto Seal) on the O-rings and the 2 flat gaskets on the back manifold? Great videos. Thanks.

[@mikes.garage]

No, I used this gasket maker www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/permatex-ultra-black-gasket-maker-598br-80-ml-0383722p.0383722.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwgviIBhBkEiwA10D2j8vChcbOnpFE2ClTgT8aYclAXOvM-L0T9wyVqS8djneGJKs9ID1wtxoCx5MQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=608 Thank you for watching!

[@MRXCHRISS]

@@mikes.garage , for both the O-rings and flat gaskets?

[@mikes.garage]

Just for o-rings but you can use it for both.

[@MRXCHRISS]

@@mikes.garage , Thanks. The video looks like grey you are using, but the link you just sent me is black gasket maker.

[@mikes.garage]

Yes,I used gray for flat gasket, but this black gasket maker is better.

[@dilippatel3268]

fantastic video

Thank you!

Man the audio was unnerving at the 4:00 mark - very loud and discordant but I guess I'm old and didn't get the memo that sampling a skipping CD at high volume was a thing.

You always can use mute button. Thank you for watching🙂

[@yongminwon3133]

Awesome Mike , great video thanks ! I have a question that I have 2002 745i , i looked expansion tank to check level but coolant color is like gray not blue ,it wasn't 2 weeks ago (130M miles). What's problem ?

[@mikes.garage]

Thanks, maybe antifreeze never been changed before and it was add with different color.

[@povdrivekls8369]

Hi , i changed 2 times the gaskets from intake and still have vacuum leaking from the driver side , just don t know what can it be , can you help , the intake manufold can be damagged or something ?

[@jaimeencina1090]

Hello i have a problem whit a car, i don't now the name of the kit for replacement in the vidio,pleace help me, i am mechanic but i no job whit bmw... Sorry for the English.

[@mikes.garage]

I have all the parts with part numbers in description below video.

[@jaimeencina1090]

Thank so much !!

[@andrewbecerra5927]

Do you have a part number for those valley pan cover rivets? I’m replacing mine and the old one did not have rivets??

[@mikes.garage]

Try this PN: 13711741097

[@marioduran7913]

Can you give me an idea of how much that cost?? My e31 1995 m60 engine needs it badly..

[@mikes.garage]

Roughly around $500-600 with parts

[@mauijim00]

THANK. YOU.👍👍👍

[@calypsored8884]

did you you any gasket sealant (not gasket maker). e.g. on the intake manifold gasket?

[@mikes.garage]

No, I didn't use gasket maker on intake manifold, only seals.

[@DAME_AL]

Any tips on how to get the coolant pipes back in I’m having a lot of trouble with the new orings

[@mikes.garage]

You need to lubricate them with a little bit of oil or grease.

[@DAME_AL]

Mike's Garage I tried everything there is can’t get them on for nothing

[@DAME_AL]

Mike's Garage going to try some different orings they fit into the accumulation but they just won’t go in on the water pump

[@mikes.garage]

Are you sure o-rings is back in place?

[@mikes.garage]

It should slide back without any problems.

[@briangreen6602]

Excellent video, and many thanks for taking time to do that. Can I ask which brand of valley pan you used ? I take it there's been no leaks since ?

[@mikes.garage]

It was URO valley pan gasket. I had it over a year and it was fine. After I sold this car.

[@mikes.garage]

URO gives life time warranty.

[@mosaidulhuq]

Hey mike how’s the coolant valley pan gasket holding up so far? Any leaks? I bought the URO valley pan just like you and gonna tackle this job for the 3rd time tomorrow

[@mikes.garage]

It's still holding. But I have this for two years only. If you have so many trouble with it, apply some silicon on it too.

[@mosaidulhuq]

Mike's Garage Thanks for the response. The 1st time I reused the original pan, removed old gasket and applied permatex ultra black rtv. Was leaking from the rear of the engine so 2nd time I used original pan and applied permatex right stuff black rtv. Leak got worse! Maybe rtv alone isn’t enough or I didn’t let it cure enough. Either way this time with the pan I have a strong feeling the repair is gonna be solid

[@mikes.garage]

Good luck to you this time!

[@mosaidulhuq]

Mike's Garage Installed new valley pan and no more leaks!

[@mikes.garage]

@@mosaidulhuq Yay! Great job!

[@williamturtle6045]

What is the cost to replace the valley pan

[@mikes.garage]

This is you need to find out at your local shop or maybe in couple of shops.

[@bojanlovric2653]

How important are those rivets from the old cover to the new one. When I took my old one off, those were missing so I doth have anything to put into the new one?

[@mikes.garage]

This rivets are to protect from getting dirt inside. If you live in a warm climate without snow, you can leave it as is. If you have snow and mud I would recommend to install this rivets in place.

[@bojanlovric2653]

Mike's Garage thanks as always! It’s odd that these are not included in the kit I bought from FCP and I can’t find them for purchase as a separate standalone part. It’s an odd placement for these holes. I wasn’t sure if it was for temperature regulation or what purpose they serve.

[@mikes.garage]

@Bojan Lovric I think you can put tape over this holes and make a small hole with needle for breathing. Thank you for watching my videos!

[@bm66tr55]

Perfect Video 👌👍

[@mikes.garage]

Thank you for watching!😉

[@Usmanthemecano]

Got a 98 540i. Is this method similar?

[@mikes.garage]

Yes, should be the same thing.

[@abezz377]

Pretty much the same unless it was made before 9/98 it will be slightly different I’m planning on doing this job to my 98 540i

TOP TOP🤜🤛👌🏻👍👍

[@taylorsons4303]

What's the torque specs you used 15 or 11?

[@mikes.garage]

15 Nm is the same as 11 ft-lb

Is it the 2008 engine

[@mikes.garage]

No, this is 2002 m62tu engine.
