Ah, re reading this, it answers a question I was going to ask, the chain is to long, But instead of removing the timing chain to gain access to the pump chain, I just made me a chain link extracter and shortened it 1 link

I know. What I can't understand, is you said you used the standard gear box mount. When I fitted it, it sat nicely in place, the rear water rail didn't foul, and the gearbox mount fitted in the front 4 holes a treat. Now it looks like the engine could go back another inch, but the next 2 gearbox mou...

As I say, at the mo I'm waiting on an acetlyne reg so I can get a bit more heat for this Durafix to work, but this is how mine is currently waiting. With Durafix you can weld dis-simmilar metals, as long as they are non ferrous, but not including stainless, so copper to ally is fine http://www.theta...

lol, I wouldnt even consider anything new from BM. My reasoning is, a pump wopuld never fail in a million years, the only reason they would ever be on eGay is if the rest of the engine got buggered, like cooked, or dodgy fuel taking out linings, or worst case catastroic chain faliure....so buying us...

I do love the old granny and coupe even better..... :) http://www.thetattoostudio.co.uk/mycoupe/green/recentcoupe600/2.jpg N62 sump has a hole from side to side for cross shaft for the four wheel drive and is around 4" deep at the front and about 8" at the back....... Steve. hmm, not the n62 sump I...

I wonder what the n62 sump looks like? I'm still 1/2 way through doing my pump, ive split it, tuned down the end of the shaft to 8mm, and turned the other end of the m60 pump down the same, I just have to center my drill stock and drill an 7.8m hole either end of my bridging bar, and I've bought me ...

sorry, couldnt quite follow you there, I take it you ment the chain driving the pump is infront of the cam chain, so you mean the sprocket is too far forward to line up with the m60/62 chain? If so, thats just a case of pushing the cog forward on the shaft, bringing the sprocket backwards? This pump...

pump i'm using is the same as already been done on this thread, but i found this one last night and got the guy to take measurments, and it will line up on the m60 journals.

saw this, and thought of anyone ever wanting a direct spanner swap e36 V8







X5 4.4 pump ?

thanks, managed to get the guy I bought the pump off to send me it, so sorted in the end, thanks again guy.

what's the part off though, is it a standard x5 bit?

can you tell me how you got round this?, the little pipe from the block to the pump doesnt line up. did you make a new one or is it an off the shelf x5 bit?

Well, the done way is always the best. I bought me an x5 oil pump, so while I'm waiting for that to arrive, i flipped the engine upside down on the stand and stripped it out to start making my sump. the standard pump can infact be moved back to the second to last cap, and a rail can be made, a piece...

okily dokily, I joined like for like, as best that it would on the e34 end I have 5 wires that dont line up either to colour or pin pins 01 blu/wht 02 blu/wht possibly pale yellow 03 thick red/wht do not line up to the e36 plug, the e36 plug has no wiers in pins 1,2,3 pin 23 on the e34 end is brown ...

so if its pin for pin, what do the highlighted wires do? any ideas?
