Just finished working on my sister's Mini after the dealer quoted her something like $2-3k to replace the oil filter housing gaskets, turbo feed and return lines, and a waterpump... she nearly had a heart attack (she is on a teacher's income).. did her the favor and took care of it..

@STORMinsights 5 лет назад

I do a lot of corporate interviews and have to be on camera while monitoring 2-4 cameras, sound, etc, then editing it all down. It takes me 3+ hours to set up now with green screens and lights, and I often record 45minutes to 2 hours to get a 5-10 minute video. I have a LOT of respect for the work you put into your videos, in addition to the actual work on the cars. I don't remember which car project first brought me to your channel, but I was happy to discover your Mini series. My 2009 ClubmanS (131,000 miles) has been sitting in the driveway for over a year while I worked on our 76 MG Midget (the daily driver, easiest car ever to work on), 2009 Pilot (now at 207,000 miles, tight engine compartment but relatively straightforward to fix), and son's girlfriend's CRV (110,000 miles - lots of room to maneuver compared to the Mini). The Mini failed the emissions test at the end of 2017 for "intermittent" ignition failures - it was running fine that morning when I brought it in. I drove it to the Mini dealer that day for parts for another project, and it started running really rough and finally died, requiring a tow. I'm finally getting around to replacing the valve stem seals and cleaning the intake, which brought me back to your channel to see the process for pulling the camshafts to change the seals. Life with a Mini is definitely a love/hate relationship. Thanks for sharing your experiences, and especially for showing that even the best can mess up a torque spec once in awhile and have to deal with the consequences.

It’s probably the most problematic car I’ve ever seen or owned, but there’s something special about it and we both love it dearly. I don’t think we’ll ever sell it, or set it on fire but the thought does cross my mind often. I’m here because it’s got fried valve seals and wanted to see what I’m in for. I have confidence handling it now. Thanks Eric!

In my case, I opted to re-use the mechanical tensioner which should have been fine except that a little notched metal piece fell out of it and I put it back in upside down…that allowed tensioner to well…untension when engine cranked. All exhaust valves destroyed…Nice to hear that I’m not the only one to ever have a user error result it a serious chunk of unwanted extra work!
