If you still have codes, replace VANOS solenoid(s)? (2 for N12, N16, N18, 1 for N14). amzn.to/2S7Jrp7
This scanner is the cheapest that can reset adaptations on some/most MINIs. amzn.to/2FRsnOt This one will definitely work. amzn.to/2SdDjeX

“Lost its coolant and driver didn’t notice temperature rising” well in all fairness, standard R56s don’t have a temp gauge
This is one of the most detailed videos with common sense advice I have ever seen on TH-cam. Well done.
You in 23:03 heads coming off...
me in 23:03 managed to get the bonnet open, lost my 10mm, loosing blood from various cuts on my hands trying to get the bonnet open, said more naught words than an 18 rated film, given up and gone back indoors!
Real job takes longer than 23min. This is edited.
Real job is a pain in the a##.
Thanks for coming back, I mentioned looking at an 08 S clubman with a cylinder 3 misfire, deal went South, going to look another 08 non S clubman tomorrow.
The non S looks a little nicer to work on without the turbo in the way.
This video came out just in time, not worried to much now about doing the timing chain and head removal.
Thanks
Thanks for doing this. Nice editing, very fast and concise. Down to business. Appreciate it
Just bought a 2009 mini with this job as the reason for buying it. This video is helping me save tons of time figuring out how this thing comes apart. Thank you so much for this info. My Mini is a cooper S R57 so some things are a bit different but similar enough I can figure the rest out myself.
You can use a 27mm socket for the tensioner but your a bit limited on space so use your most shallow socket set up.
I'll update any more difference to be aware of for the Turbo model as I come across them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I think I've given it 30+ views just taking notes.
Edit: Yeah the NA version is much more simple.
I had problems with the one exhaust bolt on top behind the turbo. I ended up using a 1/4 socket with a harbor freight wrench style ratchet.
The hard to reach nut under the exhaust I used 3/8 13mm socket with universal joint and 6" extension.
Fuel rail on turbo is underneath the intake manifold. Making darn near imposable to disconnect or remove.
You are awesome! This video helped me and my neighbor replace my head gasket on my 2009 Mini Cooper Base Convertible 6 speed manual tranny. Fortunately, it was just the head gasket that was bad and not the head itself. We also replaced the timing chain kit and water pump even though the car only has 50k miles on it. Also took care of the oil gaskets that were prone to leaking thanks to your heads up. One comment I will make is that the locking pin for the flywheel on the manual transmission is very tricky to engage properly. We initially thought we had it locked but turns out the pin can hit what I believe are the bolts holding the flywheel on giving you a false indication that it’s locked in place. We decided to put a straw in each cylinder and turn the engine until all were of even height across the 4 cylinders. This got the flywheel close enough to find the locking hole without falling on a mounting bolt. Thanks again!
Glad you're back making repair videos again. They're some of the best I've ever come across. So much so it helped convince me to get an R53 because some of the the big jobs that'd have scared me off otherwise I have the confidence to take them on with your videos.
Thanks very much for the detailed video, I'm just changing a failed head gasket on my daughters 1.4 PSA Mini R56 and this video has made it a lot easier. Subbed.
Great video, saved me a lot of figuring out. Since my headlight bolts went south i started without service mode. This worked well (enough space to pull exh manifold) and saved a lot of work. Only thing is you cant replace exh gasket. In my experience this type of gasket can be reused without problems. Here it also worked. Thx again
This video is terrific. It is nice to watch an expert at work.
Hi just want to say thanks for this video. Really helped me a lot today. 👍🏽👍🏽
Nice video and great effort to edit it down to all the important parts. 👍
Great video. Heavy work. You make it look easy. Do want to learn, but afraid when it comes to that heavy work. Tnks for the video.🤖👍
I dont even own a r56 #r53masterrace but enjoy watching your vids
ok watched your videos 5 times! I am going in wish me luck!
Thanks. You are giving me a courage to work on the timing belt myself.
You mean timing chain, right? No timing belts to see here.
Yes, I meant chain!
You give quality instructions thank you
Master at work haha
Brilliant video thank you
Thanks for a great video, a friend asked if i could replace the head gasket on her mini, even with your excellent video i'll be saying no, too much for me
head gaskets aren't fun on any car honestly
Awesome video. Thank you very much.
I just picked up a 2007 MCS and confirmed it's probably has a blown head gasket. I was going to replace the thermostat/cross over tube and found oil in the coolant when I drained the system. Planning on taking my time but will do this myself. I have two other Mini's...a Gen 1 base and a Gen 1 MCS both 2006 so I'm already familiar with Mini's but realize this is a completely different setup with the N14 engine. Always enjoy your videos!
Check that it's not the oil cooler. I"ve seen that be the cause of contamination before on a R53.
@@ModMINI...I'm not sure how to check that it's not the oil cooler. When I drained the coolant I found oil in the coolant.
@@ModMINI I guess I could replace the gasket on the oil cooler and make sure there isn't any pitting on the oil cooler and put it back together and see if that does it.
You made my day
Great video
Genial video 📹 Mod MINI
I want this guy to work on my car!
Enjoyable video. It's convinced me, however, I'll never want an R56 or BMW.
You’re amazing
Great Video. It gives me confidence if(When) my 2013 R55 ever needs it done. Question: What is the lift system you are using? It looks very neat.
Thanks
Hi !! very good video. I have a copper s and I would like to change chain and turbo !! where do you have your workshop !! you are very professional in your work !!
Excellent guidance. From it I was able to successfully do the same. After 10k miles of trouble free operation, am now getting misfire on
...after 10k miles I’m getting misfire on cylinder 3 consistently when temp reaches about 200 degrees. When engine drops below 200 all is fine. Coil pack, plug and injector are new. Mini is 07 base model. Pls advise.
Do a compression test. Ensure thermostat working correctly. Move around the plugs and coil packs.
I got to exactly the last stage on this video @Mod Mini and when I went to remove the camshaft locking tool to get to the last 2 head bolts, the exhaust camshaft jumped and span towards me a little bit. Is this bad? What can I do?
I have 2011 clubman 3door turbo 1600 I bought a timing chain kit. The top guard in the head that comes with it rubs agains the top of the chain between the 2 sprockets ex and intake. I put washers under feet of bracket. it clears now.. That says the chain is too thick or guard too low? . next issue is the dip stick is hitting something on the way in about 1/2 way.. Next to the timing chain. ??
Hello, thanks for the video I thoroughly enjoyed it. One question, do you buy the timing chain set on Amazon too? I'm not sure weather i should buy through Amazon ($65) or a pro shop ($250) whats your say? Thanks!
Dear Mod MINI - thank you for continuing to share your knowledge. Having now owned, driven and done job on both R53s and R56s, which generation would you say is the most fun to drive, which has the best build quality and easiest to work on? Regards from Norway.
I get this question a lot. I’ll have to make a video.
Is there 2 spots to lock the flywheel in place? If so should the #1 cylinder be on the up stroke or does it matter?
How much different will the Mini Cooper sport turbo be? I’m just starting on it.
Thank you for this awesome video. I'm new to minis and this was a huge help! I bought the timing kit in the description and the flywheel pin will not go in no matter what i do. Any advice?
I've heard some have to be turned/ground down to fit through the bell housing hole.
I’m in Pennsylvania is their any place you would recommend to order a complete cylinder head im thankfull for your videos
It’s the last option I have if you could share some info it would help
Thanks any ideas timing chain and head gasket link I have one tomorrow open it
Not sure if you can help me. 2007 mini cooper s. Cold start and rough idle issues. Ive changed both fuel pumps, filter, ignition coils, and plugs. Any comments or advice would be awsome. I've learned alot from your videos. Thank you. They are very helpful.
Need to scan car and read the live data to know what is going on, as well as remove valve cover and confirm valve timing.
Good video and professional works,thanks
I replace the head gasket, timing chain and cylinder head on a 2010 MINI Cooper Clubman non-Turbo, N12/N16 engine. Generally same procedure for Turbo cars, just a few more bits to remove.

Hi @mod mini awesome video. Im struggling get the bottom bolt off the intake manifold any tips
Multiple long socket extensions and a swivel socket.
Done it yesterday wobbly extension was such a pain loosened the bolt from underneath but found it easier to do it through the wheel arch
Hello there. I have a 2014 cooper turbo that I’m replacing the head gasket.and when torque the head bolts down they keep creaking before I Even finish the first pass. I Lubricated the bolts and but still no luck. Any ideas? U made it look so easy in ur video
They do that sometimes.
OMG, is that gasoline on the intake manifold? I just ordered the same Milwaukee tool you are using, and would never have the guts to run it in /over gasoline like that! (my fear of flaming death...). Thanks for awesome vids! Started with the Alternator, but now doing the timing chain at the same time...Also, I'm a huge Raiders fan, so loved the mini in the alternator video!
I've tried to light gasoline on fire before and it wasn't easy...
What camera do you use to get this view? Glasses with camera or GoPro?
Hi, this has been an awesome video helping me immensely. I have one question I cant seem to get the fuel rail off. Everything else came off like you said but the fuel rail. Do you have any tricks or something I might be missing? The fuel rail is plastic and I'm super worried about breaking it. If you had any pointers thanks
Pry slightly harder - after making sure all fasteners removed
@@ModMINI thank you so much. 😁😁
Nice video man :) what kind of cordless drills do you use?
Stian Jevnaker see video description. As mentioned in video, all the links are there.
Mod MINI sorry missed that part :)
What kind of that blue car jack are you using here?
Wondering on you thoughts on this... I picked up a 2008 Mini S with R56 and the previous owner said it needed a valve job (it wouldn't start because of low compression). I did a leak down test and it indicated that the exhaust side was not holding pressure. I pulled the valve cover off and found that the timing tool would not align, and the tensioner seemed bad (when I turned crank by hand I could see the tension on chain loosen). Maybe skipped a tooth?? Also, when I pulled the timing chain casset out, the plastic was broke apart. I am going to pull the head off today hopefully. If I have a bent valve, can I replace the valves, tensioner, and timing chain an be OK or is there anything else I need to look at? Thanks. Love you videos BTW!
If you skipped teeth, it could affect leak down reading. Be sure to do leak down test with all valves closed for that cylinder by looking at the cam and lifters. If you still have low pressure and you verify it's coming from combustion chamber, you have to remove cylinder head or use horoscope to verify. If you have a bent valve, you'll need machining work or a new head. Bent valve will require inspection and possible replacement of valve stem and valve seat. You'll need a new chain kit as well obviously.
Great video. I'm about to tackle my son's R55 Clubman head gasket. Is it possible to do the job without service mode. I don't think so but thought I would ask. Thanks in advance!!
I doubt it.
@@ModMINI A friend of mine is helping me. He now realizes we need to tear it down.
Hey man I’ve got a r60 2011 but far out I can’t find the torque specs for the head cylinder bolts anywhere I’m losing my mind please help
Do you have any tips on how to fix a glove box that won’t close ? I have a R52.
lovely bri Step 1. Replace glove box. Unfortunately. Either that or tape or something
Im wondering if you could leave the bottom chain sprocket in and chain guides and just pass the chain through the head - same way you would on a R50???
Starting the job tomorrow
Not possible. Goes in and comes out as a cassette.
@Mod MINI I did the job. You can do it same way as an r50 for sure. Saves some time if you dont want to change the chain. You do need to remove the chain guide bolts, so engine mounts too. But saved time messing with the water pump pulley wheel and a bit more faff. Got another head job on a r56 S this time, will be doing the same.
You dont need to take the front end off the car either as some say. On the none turbo if you take the two mounting bolts off the downpipe the manifold pulls away with plenty of clearance
Just getting ready to do a head gasket on an 07 MCS with N14. Quick question...from what I can tell there is only one locking pin slot on the flywheel. is that correct?
Only one pin at middle dead center.
Great video! Do you drain the oil before doing this or does it not matter? Thanks
Not totally needed but a good idea if you are repairing any damage or fluids have mixed.
I would lock the cams and crankshaft at rhe same time. They could spin around with the pressure of the valve Springs. Dont ask me how i know
I am trying to replace the timing chain on a 2010 Cooper (90kw non-turbo). Do I need to lock the flywheel with a pin? I started to watch a video for a different version of the engine and it showed this being done. However, I cannot see where the pin would go. I should appreciate any guidance.
I have answered my own question................ Found the hole and fitted the pin.
I have a 2010 clubman non turbo. I watched your video but am having a tough time finding the correct camshaft locking tools. any ideas?
There are links in description. This works fine. amzn.to/2UZVp5d
With the timing tool on with both cams squared left top and right locked right with the timing tool but the exhaust valves on cylinder 1 is open. Does this mean it's in time? The head is on the bench.
I don't remember which cylinder is doing what at the locked position, but there will always be at least one set of valves open and probably another set partly open somewhere else as well.
Hey!!!! Mod Mini GRRRRREAT Presentation !!!! I was Wondering Time Wise. How much time Approx Does it Take to do all the work to remove the Head. I heard Its Approx 9 Hrs to remove the Head, Cause you have to take Half the car apart LOL. So I figure 9 hrs to remove and then get the head sent out to get resurfaced Because its probably Warped In my case.Then 9 hrs to re-assemble Can you please Verify the Time for me so I can see How much It will Cost me to do it PLEASE.... Thanks....Stash Murawski
Ok I found out why my mini is miss firing
The exhaust valves on cylinder 4
Are not activating due to the lifters not properly seated on the springs and the camshaft is not contacting the lifters
And giving me a miss fire
Please if you can get back to me i could use help on what to do next if at all possible
So, I am to the point where I have to use the jack to lift my engine up. Am I correct in thinking you jacked it up under the oil pan? I didn't think that was safe, but it looks like that is where you did it. Can you confirm that. I'm hoping after 3 weekends I'll finally get the head out.
Safe with a sufficiently a large block of wood centered so it doesn't damage anything or slip off. A good mechanic will develop a sense for the relative strength of various materials.
"Okay we'll take this crank pulley off with the 18mm" "Now just remove that" vs any crank pulley I've done ever - right 2m breaker bar, 10ft cheater bar, and the thing still doesnt come out 😂😂
This one is not bad compared to a Honda crank pulley for example
@@ModMINI Yeah thats true tbh... great video anyway 👌
Have you ever messed with the valvetronic components on the minis that have them? I have a bad valve seal or two and of course my mini s has the n18 and all the fun valvetronic parts. I bought the specialty tools to remove the intermediate levers of the valvetronic system but I have done the job yet and was wondering if you have ever messed with those components? I'm going to replace just the valve seals first and if it doesnt fix my smoking issue at idle them I guess I'll just have to pull the head and send it in to get a full service.
Sure, it's not a big deal if you have the tools. I was able to take one apart and put back together with a modified screwdriver and a friend. You may need a diagnostic scanner to relearn the stop positions and reset adaptations if you mess with the cam sprockets. I haven't done valve stem seals on this engine and I can't comment on whether replacing them would help with your problem.
@@ModMINI everyone on the forum is saying its 99% valve seals becuase it ok not smokes if it idles for a few minutes. So I figured I'd give it a shot. My plan was to remove the cams without removing the cam gears and such hoping I wouldn't have to do any type of "relearning" or resetting. The only think I having looked into is if there is a gear that runs the valvetronic system or what that runs off of. Of guessing there is a gear that connects to the cams somehow. But I'll just have to dig into it.
It might run ok but maybe rough. If you have trouble, then buy or borrow a bmw/mini scan tool
The valvetronic motor connects to an eccentric shaft which increases valve lift. I don’t know if it interferes with cam removal. When removing valvetronic motor, just count how many times you wind the 4mm hex key and wind back the same amount and should be ok
Time stamps would be so helpful
GOOD THING car did not catch on fire with all the fuel spilled, since that ratchet produces spark, i seen a co worker clean his impact driver with brake kleen as soon as he hit the trigger right after cleaning it, tool caught on fire
Hi, great video. How many hour of labor does this take? How much does this job cost a a shop? Thanks.
A day or two depending on your skill level, maybe a little less if you are very good. You'd have to ask a shop for what a shop would charge.
I just replaced the timing chain and got my daughter's 2008 mini cooper base running like a top. She lost her heat inside the car and the overflow bottle top was loose and it lost coolant and she didn't know it. The head gasket is blown now. Do you think the head would be ok? The car shut down immediately when it happened.
Need to test the head.
I have a 2010 mini clubman s and it has been showing white smoke and been loosening coolant.Would a head gasket be necessary? I really dont know if it needs one or not, or is there any other options to try first.
White smoke is nearly always head gasket.
Would you know if there should be any other signs I should look before replacing the head gasket? I just did the oil change and I didn't notice any milky color or anything.
Did you dip the head bolt in oil before you put them in and torque them down? Also what oil and antifreeze did you use
They typically come pre lubed. If not, I will wipe with an oily rag. Only need a very tiny amount. Any fully synthetic motor oil and universal coolant are fine.
(API SN grade oil)
as ever FAB instruction even at speed.......
Had my 2008 mini cooper engine rebuild an we installed it its it runs rough am has several code. P0301 p113b pp0100 it runs worse now that engine was rebuild only codes I had before rebuild all four cylinders were miss firing oil in cylinders any help would appreciate.
You are going to have to do a full diagnostic. Retrace all steps, verify wiring, leak down test of engine, check the data streams, etc.
Your repair videos are great. Is there any way I could email you?
email is found under Channel > About > Business enquiries
It’s insane how many different socket and torx screws are used. I was working on a Toyota and almost 95% of the bolts were 10 an 12mm. You’re not constantly changing the sockets.
Modern Audis are even worse
Where about is your workshop?
What’s your milwaukee ratchet like? I’m Thinking off getting one
They are great tools.
What would i do differently if i am just changing the head gasket?
Same. Replace torque to yield bolts.
Good fucken video wow thanks for all urs hard work..
so the camshafts don't have to be locked in place to remove the head ?
Do what you want for disassembly, but need to lock in place to retime everything
Do you work on minis full time or just have a lot of friends that own them?
benzlover55 Friends and people in the local MINI club, etc.
9:45 are you sure this is the mass air flow sensor ??
Where do you get your replacement cylinder heads from?
eBay is a good source.
Is the JCW model the same process as the base? I have a 2009. JCW.
Same.
Is the Mini Cooper s similar or what’s different if you happen to know
Basically the same with a little more complexity on the turbo side of the engine.
Do you need to remove all this stuff if you just have to replace the head gasket?
Well, the head gasket is under the head, so yes...
Will this disassemble work on a R60 n18 turbo?
Similar.
Is it the same steps for the turbo model?
Very similar.

how much to replace my 09 Mini Cooper gasket
What does something like this cost in a shop ?
You can't tell a head gasket is blowed . unless the oil looks milky, water running out of exaust, or a cylinder test. Is this correct
Coolant boiling over for no reason, unburned fuel in oil, etc. Basically think out what the head gasket is sealing and what happens if those gases and liquids go where they don't belong and you have your answer.
How different is this process for the S variant?
Similar. Exhaust manifold is a little different and the S head has different camshafts but the process is basically same.
Do you have to re-torque the head gasket again?
Torque head bolts always.
@@ModMINI i meant re-torque after some run time?
@@Dave-qx3yz Should not be necessary
where are you located?
Did you actually leave all that fuel sitting on the intake and then run your brushed power tools right next to it? That’s just asking for a garage fire...
Good point. ....I have thrown matches into containers of gasoline before and have had them go out. Fuel will typically only burn if it is introduced as an aerosol mist...
I know u uploaded this awhile ago but how much would you charge for this? I think i got ripped off.
I am a hobbyist so any money discussion would be irrelevant. This will be a very expensive job in any commercial shop.
@@ModMINI i did my water pump and the thermostat also but its was 4k. Still having problem tho.......
