- in this video I change the valve cover and the spark plugs on the Mini Cooper s R53 with the W11 Engine now this job can require a bit of skill as the bolts on the valve cover tend to ruse which is a common problem now if you have purchased a r53 and its never had any maintenance and its approaching 100k my best advise would be to purchase new bolts BEFORE you even start this job incase you break them as most bolts on here have never ever been removed and due to the servicing you will be doing this will need a major overhaul and possibly none of these components have EVER been changed just like is seen on this video
we also upgrade a few parts READY for the 19% pulley reduction
stay tuned to find out !!!!!
Fantastic video - designed to help the unskilled. Maintenance is the key to keep vehicles having longer & healthier life span as the doctor has demonstrated in various of videos and neglect can become catastrophic for any vehicle, A*.
I liked how you dove right in! good video
That’s how it is now mate Had enough of talking in the beginning people want to see what they want to see so I give it there here to see the repair not me talking
To fast mate slow down
lol sorry I remember this for next time
My god that looks FANTASTIC keep them coming!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍
Cheers mate no problem I will indeed
Great video. I drive BMW but would like to own a mini some day. Always liked the mini shape.
Yeah read into them tho. There is a few issues with the different generations.
I have the r53 supercharged myself with 240bhp.
If you want more you need to get the newer models.
Under that hp I would pick the r53 because the supercharger is fun. Everybody expects turbos so the whine sounds so cute and different.
I think they are a future classic.
Looks good mate, looking forward to seeing the gains it makes.
So am I hopefully we shall get there waiting on more parts lol
Great work!
thanks mate
Looks beautiful mate 👍 I was thinking about buying me a mini.Have a great weekend
No problem mate and you should indeed these cars are wicked to work on and there coming down on price the mods have only just begun
Awesome videos, and sweet details. I have two issues, no mention of torque specs and no setting of the gap in the spark plugs?
Could you help me get in the right direction to what could be causing my mini to blow white smoke out of it’s exhaust and what causing it to put oil in the exhaust, recently changed coil, ht leads and plugs but having no luck with it running probably since the issue started
That sludge on underside of cover is just glue they use.
Just picked up a R50 as a little project with 105k on the clock. I suspect it is in similar shape. I’m no mechanic but would like to change those parts like you have done, Dean. Is there anything that you changed that I wouldn’t on a R50?
Is there a tightening sequence for the rocker cover
Hello Dude. Where did You buy these screw? Can You write part number?
Have you got the link for ignition coil pack you used please? Great video and love all the mini content on this channel. I also have an R53.
why didnt you clean out the cover? when you saw it was so dirty with the sludge?
because it wasn't sludge on the cover this is how they come from factory
from what I found out after all the valve covers are like this
@@BMWDoctor ahh okay was just referring from the video good to know
is it good to do yes mate if you was to remove one of these yours will be the same
What is the intercooler model and ignition coil? Where can get these cool parts? TQ
Dean , nice one , how much would that car sell for after it’s sorted . Handsome looking IC .
I’m not sure mate to be honest I don’t want to sell I want to keep modifying it and I have a company working with me who’s gonna provide me all the bits for free so it will work out
Do you need to drain the oil before you remove the valve cover?
Looks like you done this before mate 😂😂😂
Joker I forward it all
Nice what transmission is in that one
It’s manual mate lol
Nice more control of the car with manual
Exactly that mate better control and cheaper to maintain
Beemers are shit. I had an M3 a couple of years ago. I kept it for 6 months..over rated shit. The simple things were ridiculously over engineered and the most basic things were over looked.
The Mini is cheap and cheerful, but mostly cheap. At least its fun to drive. The M3 was just frustrating and dare I say it...boring. Big power, but soulless.
