Replacing oil pan gasket cause rod knock?
I think I might have an issue here. After replacing my oil pan gasket on my 2012 535i with 66,000 miles I got a ticking noise that sounds like its coming from around the oil pan. I notice the ticking sounds when I stopped by advance auto to return some loaner tools. I knew I checked inside the oil pan if anything had fallen in before installing it and there where nothing. Soon after looking around I checked my oil level in the IDrive and it shows that I'm still a little low on oil, between half and full. I'm surprised that it's not at the full because I add 7 quarts.
Now I'm thinking about what could cause this ticking. Is it because it took me 6 days to finish the job? I took on this task Monday and finally finished on Saturday. It took me this long because i was doing it after work for a few hours. On Monday I got the the subframe and oil pan down. Tuesday, while installing the pan, I over torque a bolt and broken it in the block. Wednesday, I took a break to do some research on how to remove a broken oil pan bolt and ordered the tools. Thursday, tools arrived and got the bolt out. Friday, started bolting everything back and got into a jam with the subframe and stopped. Saturday finish bolting everything up. Sunday filled up the car with fresh oil and had it sitting there a few hours before starting it up. My thought is did I leave the bottom out too long without oil. Has anybody heard anything like this and happening? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated. I pray to God hoping it's not rod knock. |

My brotha I must ask because you didn't mention it there- did you prime the oil system?

One thing you can do on your own is go get a new oil filter and just pull and inspect the filter currently in the car. Open it up and check between the pleads (sp*... the folds! lol) with a flashlight for any signs of shiny metal. If it were me, that would make me feel much more comfortable between NOT seeing metal shavings in my filter, and the noise having gone away.
