You Friggen rock buddy!! I just rebuilt the MINI and I simply could not have done it without you! I am going to start it now. I am scared!! ;).. Thank you really though.. If it doesnt start I am quite certain it is not your fault.. If it starts I am certain that it is thanks to you... Thank you thank you thank you!

Eric, you are a legend sir !!! I’ve recently discovered your mini series, and it’s been absolute gold for me - I’ve had a troublesome mini that’s been on and (mostly) off the road for a while .....and thanks to you videos I’ve managed to get it back up and running better than it’s been for some time ! Thank you so much, you’ve saved me a fortune in garage fees and what’s more I’ve discovered a love of back-street mechanics that I never knew I had ! Keep up the great work and take it from me you certainly live up to your hero (and mine) Ed China !! All the best, Steve. Yorkshire, England.

What causes valves to bend and what if anything would prevent them from bending? Your a true mechanical genius!

@DJmonsty 4 года назад

If the timing belt or chain breaks the crankshaft and camshaft go out of time and the pistons can hit the valves and bend them, only interference engines have this issue

On heads that I was able to have the stems protrude enough, I attached a vacuum line to the stem and then to a regular electric drill (or whatever you could use for the line) and start with course for a short period and then go to fine and make that valve seat shine. Just like testing it before-hand, you can use water to see if your valves seat in after you put springs and keepers in.

@Audio_Simon 6 лет назад

Tip 2: I've read the injector Teflon seals must be sized before install and they will expand if removed from the engine for more than 10min. They are really not that fussy and if condition looks okay they don't need changing just because you pull an injector. New injectors come with seals pre sized already to 8mm dia. and they compress to 7.8mm in the engine. I didn't notice any expansion even after removal for some days. Of course if you put a new seal on an old injector it will need sizing to 8mm because you stretch it over the tip.

I have done many of my mini cooper work by taking your videos as a guide. at this time I have to admit i´m a bit scared. I have a damn oil leak from the cylinder head so I need to take it off. 😣😣

@AttilaTheHun333333 6 лет назад

I admire you so much for filming and doing all this stuff. I can’t even imagine how much more work it is to document the steps. (where is Brian these days btw.? Still abroad?) I made my first ever timing belt on my Citroen last weekend. Never thought I would do this kind of work on my car one day, but with the encouragement of your videos I got more confident over the years and I‘m so happy I do all the work myself now...there is a different connection to your car when you and only you are involved on the repairs. Thank You Eric for everything you do! A loyal fan since your little dark garage times. :)

@ericthecarguy 6 лет назад

Yes! I'm so happy to hear that you found the confidence to do your own repair work. Yes, it is very empowering and I'm honored to have been some small help in the regard. Thank you very much for your comment.

with the cost of maintenance on any car, especially the Mini. I have tackled a lot on my own. Just did a trans swap a few months ago, and now need to do a timing chain on my 07 Mini. Thanks to videos like this and having some mechanical ability I am not afraid to tackle those tasks. Besides you can still put it in the trash if its in pieces and doesn't run. What have you lost?

Hey Eric, so that your kids understand what you mean, switch from "cheesy" to "sketchy". Anything you think is cheesy is sketchy to them. There's a slight difference in connotation, but you'll get that from the context. BTW, you're just a young guy to me!

@zx8401ztv 6 лет назад

I think you did an excelent job eric. The washer mod cost nothing but you were able to install the stem/valve keepers :-D. "Need is the mother of invention." . It's an odd car in comparison to the cars you are used to, the jungle of peripheral components around the engine must have been a pain to remember. I still think it's a horrible cramped design, hopefully the first and last one you will ever need to fondle lol. Stretch bolts, not a nice thought.

@ericthecarguy 6 лет назад

Thank you. Honestly, I didn't mind working on this car at all. I thought it would be a lost worse. My biggest complaint is the parts are fragile and expensive. The car IS fun to drive, but I'm selling it before more stuff breaks. It seems inevitable. Thanks for your comments as always.

Great info i have an r52 with w11 engine and i have thought about getting a mini with a n14 what mileage does the chain normally fail

@JoyOfMachine 6 лет назад

Eric, I have a question, why do some bolts(mostly cylinder head ones) have to be torqued down to a specific amount and then as you show in this video to a certain degree angle? why don't they use the calculated torque spec of that certain degree angle?

@averagejoel4830 6 месяцев назад

Can someone please explain to me how he set the timing on the intake and exhaust timing gears? I'm referring to the 2 gears that the chain rides on up top. I'm new to this stuff but from what I've understood so far in the video, he set all the pistons to be equal height with each other. Locked the flywheel so I assume it doesn't move when he's torqueing the crankshaft bolt? So now the crankshaft is in time, next to the gears. In the video he just places them on and torques them down. I know the both camshafts are in place with the lettering on top, so does that mean that once both the intake and exhaust camshaft gears are torqued the camshafts and crankshaft are in time? I could be wrong with all of this so please fill free to correct me everywhere I'm just trying to understand how this process is working. Thanks for your time & response.

@type2523 6 лет назад

"Tighten bolts with cold engine " dumb instructions ,when the cylinder head is removed the engine can't run /is cold ,even if you want to you can't tighten it with an hot engine 16:29 great video by the way !

Engine tear downs don't happen like this and sit for hours to cool down all the time. Race car teams do it between races and even during races. So it's not always dumb to warn everyone to do it cold. Shows you are inexperienced, so in fact your statement was dumb.

(I own one a e30 vert)and years later well but hey it dose make for good youtube content now don't it. uh... from the tone of your voice on the flatness of the head and maintaining that, eagle one mag cleaner the acid stuff that eats the clear coated I rub that in with my finger tip( gloves the venom steel oriely) on the aluminum heads it softens the remaining gasket it takes for ever straight edge or diamond ground flat stone if you just spent $200 on a gasket and the flatness needs to be .00005 50 millionths ya not really any other way some other cyl head stuff don't be one of those guys that thinks the "ball" gauge telescoping gauges give you an precision measurement down in a valve guide the $44 dial bore gauge(ebay) with the mahr millimess indicator (hurry theres one on ebay for $50 bucks right) now reads .0001 and reads to where you point it (true bellmouth and taper) and OIL THOSE THREADS ON THE CYLINDER HEAD BOLTS the bmw engines are machined to such close tolerences that if you put too much oil on them they WILL hydrolock on you this is why soooo many m42 gaskets fail the arp bolt lube works perfect on those the lapping compound belongs to grampa pushrods generation don't embed grinding compound in stellite type stainless alloys then focus a flame thrower at them that black pitting at 120k those are the grinding grits STILL IN THERE use a sharpie marker get a cotact patern use a seat runout gauge or even use a neway cutter by hand and take off.0005 but not silicone carbide paste love your video's for reading my little rant here you've gained a subscriber

@k0rndog93 6 лет назад

Hey Eric. When are you going to be finished with the Mini videos or things related to it? I've been losing interest in them as Minis don't mean anything to me. I am not bashing or hating. It's reminding me of how the Fairmont (which was bad-ass, by the way) got dragged on too long (I didn't mind the fairmont, tbh. But a lot of folks didn't dig it). The Mini series is turning into a Maxi series. Back in April, you mentioned it would be running for the next few weeks. 5 months later, it's pretty much been nothing but Mini episodes with a few oddballs here and there. I personally would enjoy more general repair videos on the regular ETCG channel. I definitely know I'm not alone. Not bashing, just trying to throw in some constructive criticism. And apologizes if I'm coming off a bit brash.

@Michael-db1ce 6 лет назад

@dianaignatiuc205 5 лет назад

When you timming the engine the both camshaft has the producer marks that is necessarly to be seen in the up side. It is write on the repair manuals of the mini and work also for the peugeout 207 and 308 for 2009 up as the engine code are the same.

@consaka1 6 лет назад

Am I the only one that lightly uses a drill on the other side of the valve to lap valves? I use a short length of rubber hose so as not to put any side pressure on it and just run it back and forth. I lube the valve guides too and go both directions on the drill.

@chieft3357 6 лет назад

Hello Eric, I can see you are knowledgeable about engines. I watched both videos on the Mini bent valves. I have some comments about how you worked the head on the bench. This is just FYI; One should never work on an overhead cam head with the head gasket surface against the work bench. An overhead cam head should always be supported by head stands at all times. This protects the valves from coming in contact with the bench as four of the valves did on that Mini head when you installed the cam timing brackets. In the 2nd video, between the 10 minute and 10min 30 second mark is where you can see the valves come in contact with the work bench. Also, the rear exhaust valve in #2 combustion chamber had contacted something at some time. Everything else you did seemed to be good work.

@Sara_PY 6 лет назад

The sounds are great! I especially like the positive "click" the electrical connectors make when you plug them back in. Good video, nice job, Eric! It once again reminds me that it's okay to ride in my girlfriend's Mini with her and not buy one of my own!

@walterhubicki5207 6 лет назад

Very cool to hear it running. I'll likely never have a mini but love looking at the machining and of course watching it come apart and back together! Thanks for being real about the struggles. Makes me less upset with myself when crank timing gears done get torqued right and you have to do it again.

@davidyu1894 4 года назад

thanks for you video. do you think bend valve cause by timing fault?

@blower1 6 лет назад

You only need to be rough with 90 degree turns - some people are absurdly anal when it comes to angle turns - but when you are doing multiple 90deg turns on the same bolts you don't have to be bang on....the angle turn is just to get the bolt into plastic yield stage - once its in, any more turn's on it will just stretch it without increasing clamping force any further. If you actually only did 80 degrees, or went over and did 100 degrees - makes no difference. That bolt is already in the plastic stretch region by the time you hit 45. Going over by a bit will do no harm either - if the bolts is 180 total it will take 200, it will be the same clamping force at 160 as well.

@rimmersbryggeri 6 лет назад

Yup. But if you really are anal (And byt sme miraculous coincidense dont have a proper torque angle gauge) you can mark outside of thethe bolt and an opposing point or flat before you start and when they face eachother you are done. Is very easy with 90 and 180 deg.

@restlessjack0042 6 лет назад

@EricTheCarGuy I'm a premium member but can't comment on the premium vid so leaving it here-I know you asked about a better valve spring compressor solution in the premium vid and a better way to install the keepers so here it is: The ORIGINAL source for this spring compression tool is: www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/SuperCat/6329/MIN_6329_ENGTOL_pg2.htm#item7 With a part # of: TOL-SLY-91400B and some internet research I found the actual tool is made by Schley Products with a part # (variously) of SLY-91400B, SL91400B, TOLSLY91400B, SCH91400B. A simple google search should turn up the following: Universal OHC Valve Spring Compressor OR Schley Products Universal OHC Valve Spring Compressor VERSION B. The standard "beware of cheap knockoff versions" warning applies so for you or any viewers who purchase it make sure SP/Schley Products is listed somewhere as the manufacturer in the detailed description.

From my own experience I can tell this was a lot of editing , I made sure to watch all the ads...even the long ones 👍

@ericthecarguy 6 лет назад

Indeed it was. About 30 hours before all was said and done. Thanks for noticing, watching the ads, and the comment.

Same here man, I do the same for my other favourite RU-vidr's that I cant afford to pay for their merch to keep them going. Us as a canvases should be more inclined to do it really, if you're not gonna do anything for the channel then what use of a subscriber are you? Haha Love the vids Eric, you've helped me through a few pickles and for that I'm super grateful. Keep it up brother 💪

@howardelmark3903 5 лет назад

Good video. Why are some of your valves still open in the first two cylinders.. I thought they are suppose to be close?? @ericthecarguy

@johnoldonekanole602 6 лет назад

Eric, you are amazing . The last time I did anything like that was on a "63" Dodge Dart 225 cid slant 6, back in 1970. Had to use a Chilton Manuel too , much easier. Thanks for the journey .

I wish the guy in the background would turn off his airplane. JK, it was a hot summer.

@adalmadera25 3 года назад

I feel your pain Eric, I had to do this to all 8 of the exhaust valves. I believe it took me 20 minutes per valve, I am not an expert like you. Thanks for sharing.

Great series Eric, I have done the timing chain on my Mini Cooper Clubman the other month, and last weekend it started runniing on 3. What do you know no compression on cylinder 4, so looks like I'll be taking the head off and this guide is perfect. Subbed from over in England.

@aussiebloke609 6 лет назад

I may have missed it, but...did you turn the engine over by hand to confirm no interference before you pushed the button? I can't not do it - even when I _know_ everything is perfect, I still have to check...probably because every time someone comes up with a foolproof technique, I improve at being a fool. :-P

@ericthecarguy 6 лет назад

No. I just went for it like I usually do. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In the end, it's all a video opportunity for me.

@aussiebloke609 6 лет назад

Never thought of that. In your situation, even making a mistake has a silver lining, so long as no one else is impacted by the error. Hey, if it works for you, it works for me - it's great to see honesty in this industry. :-)

@dianaignatiuc205 5 лет назад

I learn that even if i work with tools for timming setup i must turn the engine twice. Because it could be the tension bold that could failed.

that freggin timing chain is INSANELY dumb!!!

@sethhanson1601 2 года назад

Eric, I cannot thank you enough for these videos. I had a blown valve on the 4th cylinder and these videos helped me step by step to get it replaced. I didn't have the tools I needed to replace the valve, but I did drop the head off at an engine shop and they replaced the valves and cleaned it for $150. After that, I reinstalled everything using a new head gasket and followed this video to a T. I fired up the Mini for the first time yesterday, praying for the best but preparing for the worst, and she had no problems. You sir, are an absolute genius and once again, I cannot thank you enough. Hope to see you back on here again soon. Thanks again for everything you do!

@delicrux 3 года назад

Just subbed the channel. I have a 2010 hyundai genesis coupe 2.0t dohc engine the timing chain apparently has slack and the mechanic reported the valves were bent. They said that meant the engine couldn't be repaired and that i needed to pay 6k for a new engine. Could something like that happen or were they trying to flease me?

@murcieme 5 лет назад

Hey Eric, I just want to say I really appreciate your videos, you do a great job on the video and tutorial and of course your mechanics... Thanks

Old carpenters pro tip for getting 90degrees: If you spread your fingers fully (yet, still comfortably), the angle between your thumb and your pinky is roughly 90degrees.

@bestcommenteronyoutube9338 5 лет назад

Now I know why I just got a $4800 quote for this repair on my 09 R56. F#CK. How much in parts tho? I’m getting all 8 exhaust valves replaced, $600 just for head machining

Next time use the Sino acrylate version of super glue to keep the washer in place when done heat it above 212 f to release the glue. As a side note I'm not sure if I spelled the glue correctly

I do not suggest spraying break cleaner on aluminum. Chlorinated one specially creates a harmful gas which you breath. Try Purasolve break cleaner. At least it has lower toxicity then some others.
