This is the BEST video on how to re-set the VVT springs into the intermediate rockers. That panel popper tool is great. No need to make a bunch of special tools or to buy the BMW tool.
Thanks for posting this video on how to reassemble the Min Cooper's Valvetronic assembly and springs from hell. Just like you, I had a lot of trouble getting the rat trap spring put on Intake Valve 1-A, but it finally slipped int place with some gentle but firm persuasion and a lot of French words. This is the best video on TH-cam on how to put these types of cylinder heads back together without any special factory or home-made tools to re-insert the rat trap springs into the roller rocker arms. By the way, I noticed that you did not keep the roller rocker arms in nay particular order and put them back into the head wherever it looked convenient. I was under the impression that all valve train components had to be reassembled back onto the particular valve that they originally came from during disassembly. Is that just an urban myth?
Yeah man that's the best way to do the eccentric shaft. On a MINI using the special tools isn't that much of a biggie because it's a 4 cylinder. But on the 6 cylinder BMW, you'll be at it for a while. This is a huge time saver.
It's hard to imagine sequences. Follow step by step, it all makes sense when you are using a flashlight and observe the parts. Thank you Cooper & Bimmer Experts. I subscribed and liked.
I'm glad I ran into your channel. Currently in the process in learning how to remove cylinder head on a R60. Every bits and pieces helps. Thanks for making the videos. Looking forward to the assembly!
Great video. I see you removed the bracket supporting the hpfp and vacuum pump. My machinist did it but didn’t reinstall. Are there and washers/ gaskets in the grooves?😊
One question related to this car. If I physically remove the connector from the vvt valve on the exhaust side, does only that cam have no movement function or does the entire vvt and valvetronic system stop working and go into safe mode
great job, would you please tell me which rocker arm goes in to inlet and outlet? I am assembling head for mini cooper r56 n12 2010, and forgot to mark the arms when taking apart. now there is mark as 17INA and 21INA on the rocker arms and could not identify which one is for exhaust and which is for inlet. thanks in advance
Bro never owned a mini I guess. These pieces of shit burn oil to a point that you have to add a quart basically every time you fill up at the gas station

Thanks for taking the time to show in detail how to put the cylinder head and the variable cams together , experience and knowledge is pricessless
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Worked for me as you show. This video helped me to replaced the valve steam seals.
Great video. I see you removed the bracket supporting the hpfp and vacuum pump. My machinist did it but didn’t reinstall. Are there and washers/ gaskets in the grooves?😊
Hi, can l put a 2012 countryman cooper S all 4 Engine on 2015. Will everything fit. I heard the cylinder is different. Thank!

Great video, just about to strip off the VVT and the cams as I have a valve seat let go !!
fastest way to replace valve seal or head job. Thanks!
Have you done this to replace the valve seals? Because I need to replace mine and I don’t want to mess with the springs
