Book Excerpt: 1982-1992 BMW 3-Series and 5-Series Repair and Service Manual GENERAL ENGINE OVERHAUL PROCEDURES
REAR MAIN OIL SEAL INSTALLATION Refer to illustration 25.3, 25.4 and 25.5
  1. The crankshaft must be installed first and the main bearing caps bolted in place, then thenew seal should be installed in the retainer and the retainer bolted to the block.
  2. Before installing the crankshaft, check the seal contact surface very carefully for scratches and nicks that could damage the new seal lip and cause oil leaks. If the crankshaft is damaged, the only alternature is a new or different crankshaft.
  3. The old seal can be removed from the housing with a hammer and punch by driving it out from the back side (see illustration). Be sure to note how far it's recessed into the housing bore before removing it; the new seal will have to be recessed an equal amount. Be very careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the bore in the housing or oil leaks could develop.
  4. Make sure the retainer is clean, then apply a thin coat of engine oil to the outer edge of the new seal. The seal must be pressed squarely into the housing bore, so hammering it into place is not recommended. If you don't have access to a press, sandwich the housing and seal between two smooth pieces of wood and press the seal into place with the jaws of a large vise. The pieces of wood must be thick enough to distribute the force evenly around the entire circumference of the seal (see illustration). Work slowly and make sure the seal enters the bore squarely.
  5. The seal lips must be lubricated with multi-purpose grease or clean engine oil before the seal/retainer is slipped over the crankshaft and bolted to the block (see illustration). Use a new gasket - no sealant is required - and make sure the dowel pins are in place before installing the retainer.
  6. Tighten the retainer nuts/ screws a little at a time until they're all snug, then tighten them to the torque listed in this Chapter's Specifications.

CHAPTER 4 FUEL AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS
MUFFLER AND PIPES Refer to illustration 19.1
  1. The exhaust system consists of the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, mufflers and all connecting pipes, brackets, hangers (see illustration) and clamps. The exhaust system is attached to the body with mounting brackets and rubber hangers. If any of the parts are improperly installed, excessive noise and vibration may be transmitted to the body.
  2. Inspect the exhaust system regularly to keep it safe and quiet. Look for any damaged or bent parts, open seams, holes, loose connections, excessive corrosion or other defects which could allow exhaust fules to enter the vehicle. Deteriorated exhaust system components should not be repaired; they should be replaced with new parts.
  3. If the exhaust system components are extremely corroded or rusted together, welding equipment will probably be required to remove them. The convenient way to accomplish this is to have a muffler repair shop remove the corroded sections with a cutting torch. If, however, you want save money by doing it yourself (and you don't have a welding outfit with a cutting torch), cut off the old components with a hacksaw.
