My Second M50 Engine......

[Baz666]

AUTO TRANSMISSON yeah our trucks are both manual and auto.

ok i think we have a problem

[E30BeemerLad]

Don't use auto fluid mate, use gear oil like EP90 or something

[Baz666]

yeah just read up about it...lucky i had`nt put it in yet.

[E30BeemerLad]

Dodged a bullet there mate

[Baz666]

yeah i know from what i was reading

anyway beemerlad can i just say thanks for your info fella.

[E30BeemerLad]

No probs, hope it sorts it out, be good to hear if it makes any difference.

[rimz]

put in a additive, thicker oil should stop the tapping.

[Baz666]

i`v been running slick50 which i think is really good stuff never let me down before but for some reason it has this time.

put in a additive, thicker oil should stop the tapping.

got any idea which one i should use.

[Baz666]

so to my existing oil in the car now would you say add some diesel fuel to it now as its only 4 weeks old oil if so what volume would you say add.

[penton08]

the oil that came out of your engine was like treacle mate! the oil filter itself was just a big sticky lump of grease i bet the oil in there now is black by now! i would drop the oil and stick some cheap diesel engine oil in there until that goes black, then swap back to a quality petrol oil. bring some oil over one day in the week if you like and i will do it for you!

[Baz666]

Thanks dude i`ll be over this week may even be tomorrow if your not busy.

[penton08]

that will be fine mate

[Alpina99]

Just as another pointer if the oil change doesn't work,
I had the same kind of noise on mine, tried all as said but it didn't work - it turned out that the threads on the studs that hold the cam carriers down were "pulling out", the only thing that cured it was to heli-coil them all,
Hope it's not that but, as I said, worth checking if the oil change fails,

[Baz666]

thanks buddy for that i`m meet up with penton08 tomorrow and we are going to go over it.

[Baz666]

well guys i`v just got back from BBB`s me and penton08 been on it most of the morning and its no better than when we started, so i`v just sourced another engine so he we go again going to change it.

Get a "Bullet proof M30" engine Baz, not a pansy M5x one.

[Baz666]

What!, another m5x shitter, go for a proper engine
