I am rebuilding a 2011 Mini Cooper S and i cant seem to find any information regarding Torque Specs for
-Bottom of the block that retain the Crank Shaft
-Connecting rods.
-Head bolts
Etc.



I purchased a Bentley manual and i am very disappointed on how little information there is regarding the bottom end. What service manual would i need to get that shows the step by step procedure? Are there any writeups or Youtube videos? I have look quite a bit and not found much.

Any help would be great Thanks

 

I can't help with N18 specs --- all my info is N14. However, let me suggest you use ARP studs for crank, head, & rods. OEM is 1-time use and gotta be replaced anyhow, so why not invest in better hardware --- good insurance and tightening sequence / torque specs are included with the studs.

 

Is the N14 Bottom end the same as the N18? It seems like the main bearings work for both the N14 and 18. Anybody can help with that?
