Hey guys... I just bought a 2003 cooper through an insurance auction site. I won't say which one cuz thats against the rules, but I can say be carefull, cuz I got burned. The car was posted as engine runs. When it arived, well it ran on 3 cylinders with a busted rod. Lets just say leason learned the hard way!!!
Anyway I have the engine out and need a piston & rod for cylinder #1. Pretty much everything else in the engine is ok except for the silver dollar hole in the lower block section, but I will just have that welded shut.

So if anyone has or knows where I can get a good used stock R50 piston and rod, give me a shout please!!

 

Sorry, the cast iron block would have to be super heated to accept a weld and the cool down controlled. The block and reciprocating assembly is a loss.

 

Try Way Motor Works, he occasionally parts out cars and may have this?
