Checking and replacing the oilhead BMW GS push rods with upgraded push rods. To do this I have to remove the rocker cover and rocker arms to get to them.
This is Episode 3 of my budget adventure bike series where I document the maintenance on my BMW GS.
Backstory: I've bought it as a project motorcycle so that I could start adventure motorcycle riding and become an Adventure Bike Rider, bringing another element to this channel. I need to mention I bought it off the internet without seeing it for £2295 and this was the cheapest at the time and that's because It had no service history with it, so this is all a new experience and an exciting one at the same time.
www.motorworks.co.uk - is where I have been buying the parts for this project. I am not affiliated with the company but I have had a good experience with them so thought I'd share.

I dont think you know how much of a hole your filling on youtube with this GS video...your video applies to all the oil heads like my r1100s. Keep making videos on your gs when your fixing things. I myself really appreciate it. Thanks mate.

Thanks Mike, I really appreciate you watching and your comment! Will do mate, I’m enjoying learning about the bike, and the filming and editing that goes with it all so will hopefully bring better videos as time goes on, and more projects. I Would love to have an R1100S, they’re beautiful 👌🏻

@MALVSMACHINE oh one more thing. You should label your videos with bmw oilhead also. I think you would get alot more views cause I tried all kinds of keywords. I stumbled across your video by accident since I never thought about looking at GS videos. I mostly targeted the 1100rt etc.

Nicely done video - thanks for posting it! A fairly critical step was missed that you must go back in and take care of - it's the rocker axial play adjustment. A zero clearance scenario could result in rocker binding, valves sticking open, damaged pushrods, etc... An advrider forum guru posted a detailed precedure pdf on this called OREPAD which stands for "oilhead rocker endplay adjustment for dumm.... " I bet there are also good videos on the adjustment. Peace!

Hello, my friend, after watching your video, I would like to ask you how long it will take for this item to be replaced, or what is the situation that needs to be replaced, thank you, I am a viewer from Taiwan.

@MALVSMACHINE 6 ай бұрын

Hell my friend from Taiwan! That’s amazing! I think the job will take between 1 and 2 hours and you will need a torque angle gauge to ensure the bolts are tightened correctly. I replaced the items because they make a tapping sound when the pushrods start to loosen off, as they are made of three pieces. The new pushrods are one piece so will not make the tapping noise.

@jochenstacker7448 2 ай бұрын

I have a question, are those head bolts? Does it need a new head gasket afterwards?

@MALVSMACHINE 2 ай бұрын

From what I remember only one of the bolts are head bolts so I didn’t have to replace the gasket because I didn’t separate the cylinder. It’s worth checking the rocker cover gaskets to make sure they’re still soft and flexible, before refitting the rocker cover because they’re rubber and can start to leak if they’ve gone hard 👍🏻. Definitely consult the manual to check because it’s been a while since I’ve been in the engine.

@jochenstacker7448 2 ай бұрын

@@MALVSMACHINE I will replace the head gasket anyway I decided, can't hurt to check out the bores while I'm in there. Some people suggested I big end and crank bearings, but I think they should be ok after 100000 km.

New short intro 👍 Dude, how do you know how to do this shit to an engine? Google or a workshop manual or both?

@MALVSMACHINE Жыл бұрын

Bit of a mixture of everything really. Vehicles are like giant jigsaw puzzles aren’t they so with knowing the basics and some retained information from messing about with vehicles in the past, I’m quite comfortable with the tinkering, but to be fair, I don’t start turning spanners unless I’ve done my research first. I always use a manual for torque settings, and if I’m a bit unsure of something then I’ll spend some time in the manual. I only use google for parts, or if there’s an issue that I can’t find the solution to in the manual 👍🏻
