E39 M5

The bolts that hold the pump itself together? Or that hold the pump to the engine? Either way they were all tight.
I think I'll be doing an oil change after the first 50 miles just to try and get any left over pieces out, or at least a filter change.

Nice work, looking forward for more updates.

I've had them both loosen on the m60b30's. One motor had 3 pump case bolts out and several loose and the other had one mounting boot out.
I'd locktight them all when you put the pump back in so you don't have to worry about it later.

Ah alright, I was thinking of disassembling it and cleaning it, I'll add some loctite when I go back together.
-
Oil pump is in with loctite, drivers side window regulator is unfucked, picked up the last remaining parts I need to be able to drive it finally. ...annnnnd I have to work tomorrow.

True, that nice weather we had was killing me.
New left, right, and center tie rods, sway bar bushings, trans and motor mounts, shifter bushing, and z3 short shifter are all installed. Sub frame is back up, pretty much just have to put the fan/belts and the radiator back in. :DD

Forgot to message you. We'll see, I want to make sure engine doesn't explode before I say I'll work on someone else's lol. I like to think I know what I'm doing, there are a bunch of nuclear and fossil power plants running at 100% because of my wrenching/engineering, but this is my first time dealing with anything with more than 1 cam haha.

Anyone have the socket "key" for this stupid thing? I want to take my wheels off
-
T-minus 20hrs until I come home from work to $84 in oil on my garage floor lol. Hood is officially down! Just need to do stupid coolant things.

Started the M5 last night! Runs and sounds awesome
I'll be getting plates for it today after work, can't wait to put some miles on it! I'll try to get a quality video/pictures this weekend maybe.
