This would also explain the "cavitation" issue on my lower cyl8 bearing...
This is for an E30 with an S62 engine in it?

there is absolutely no need to replace the oil pump, unless you feel like spending another $1200 cause thats what they cost. i have had these pumps apart. they are very robust and really nothing inside them that should fail. you can fill it with oil and spin it over but i think you'll be fine just starting it normally

Gents,THE BEAST RUNS AGAIN!!!!!

Repaired also my power steering leak today and installed 2 E60 SSKs as well.
We started her up with INPA online(THANKS,sipi!) and I cranked her first with pulled fuelpump fuse and without spark plugs to get oil pressure.
Was rattling quite a bit due to no pressure in the Vanos,but after a few seconds everything was fine,no errors,leak,noises anything.

Video is crappy sound quality,sorry guys,not good enough to upload!
