Gents,


125k on my e53. Finally had the time to continue the disassembly. I am trying to seal the engine as it was quite dirty tho not really dripping. There was quite a bit of oil in the spark plug openings. Now that the lump is out, I will be doing the Vanos and the chaiin guides. It is time to order parts and I was wondering if I should replace the oil pump?



Thoughts anyone?
