Don't think I qualify for the timing tensioner fix, though - unless the parameters have changed. Service records do not indicate it has been done; it's not an issue now - hopefully if I do the oil changes every 6000 or so and keep her in fighting trim it won't be.
Right now just reading and poking around. Slight intermittent oil smell from engine front - oil level remains consistent, no obvious leaks. Crank seal, o-ring, gear oil - won't know until I can get her up in the air again this week.
Yea, its does not have the turbo problems, but I would check the thermostat housing and the water pump and if it have been changed.
Let me know , here to help.
Those done - I do need a windshield cowl set - does your kit contain all the parts in the link? #1 in the schematic is deteriorating and needs replacement - thanks!
Welcome to NAM! Assuming this is your first MINI? If the service records don't indicate it, I'd probably do a coolant flush. The cooling system is one of those often areas that are neglected on MINI's. Otherwise, definitely looking forward to those pictures! We also have a lot of free tech articles on our site that can help along with this forum and your Bentley Manual.
