Hi everyone, I've got a new engine oil sump gasket ready to fit to the 2.5 diesel BMW M51 engine in my P38. My question is, the Workshop Manual advises to use 'STC3373' sealant. Has anyone used this? It's nearly €45 which seems a lot. I wonder if its essential to use additional sealant and or...

Getting ready to put my oil pan back on and I have a cork gasket that came with the gasket set I ordered, but I also have some Permatex "Right Stuff" gasket maker as well as orange RTV gasket maker. I've heard some people bash cork gaskets but I can't remember the details. Anybody have...

Hello all, I am looking for advice from anyone who has a P38 with the M57 (D30) engine conversion. Mine has been on the road for a few years now with a cut and shut oil sump from the donor X5, but where it was cut and shut it has distorted slightly meaning it is a nightmare to seal on the...

Preface: I searched and searched and have not found any info on this so I apologize if this is redundant. What is the max yaw angle before the oil sump can't pick up? I was in a tough spot last month. I was stuck at about a 30 degree yaw with driver side up and I shut down the engine fearing...

I'm having problems with my sump gasket it has blown for the 4th time this year so far and was wondering if I can put a thor sump on the gems engine as i believe the gems sump may be warped. does anyone know if this can be done and if so was it a successful swap?

I changed the oil today and when I put the sump plug back it won't tighten up properly - I feel a bit daft but I'm sure I wasn't over torquing it (nowhere near), but it was v tight to get off. Anyway, I need to fix it asap and want to avoid buying a whole new pan so I'm thinking of getting an...
