Okay so very odd findings here. Timing guides look like they are in perfect condition. I also noticed that there is no oil seperator on the right bank behind the chain? I thought these were on all m62's. This car must have a serious oil pressure issue. It seems weird that there were absolutely no engine lights or low pressure lights on the dash.
I guess my investigation goes further. This will bug me if I never figure it out. Here are a few more pictures: ***There is a hole that is about 1" in diameter right behind where the tensioner is mounted that is completely clogged with sludge. Anyone no what this is for? Picture below. (left bank picture)*** |

Oil separator for the 4.6is is located at the back of the engine on the outside. The M62 car engines had the oil separator on the inside of the timing covers.

Engine looks pretty clean to me. The pre-facelift 4.4 also uses the external (rear of engine) oil separator. Guess they needed some extra space for the conversion to AWD.

Would anyone be (hopefully) still reading this particular thread?
I seem to have a similar ticking noise from my X5 4.4. I'd really appreciate to see any responses please.. Here is the link : https://youtu.be/PWK_-UniSsk Thanks, Ozzie

It’s been a few years since I sold my 01, but it sounds to me that you have a combination of vanos noise (whoompa whoompa) and valve noise (maybe a stuck hydraulic lifter?) - the tick tick tick.
I’ve had good look with Rislone yellow oil additive to free stuck lifters. Essentially detergent oil. Sometimes you get lucky with it. There’s lots written on vanos rebuild. Not hard for an experienced mechanic, but pretty complex for a newby.

Thanks for your response. I am more interested in the 'tick tick' at this point. I have already tried Liqui Moly lifter additive without success. I will try what you suggested next. I think I will have to look at the lifters eventually..
Thanks again, Ozzie

At one point, i pulled them all out and with some finagling, got them all free and working. Pricey enough I didn’t want to buy 32 new ones. I think I used a drill chuck to hold onto the small piece (which sits in a recess) while I worked the big end loose by smacking it against a board.
Hope the rislone helps!
