Mini Cooper S R53 Cam Chain Replacement by a FEMALE!

Sooooo..... I must say that before starting this I was really nervous because if something goes wrong (I am mega clumsy and I do love a bodge haha!) it can be very costly. I was genuinely shocked at how straightforward it was and as long as you are careful there is no reason this cannot be done at home, I mean why pay a mechanic £600-1000 to do something you can do yourself!
If i had to guess, I would say that it took me around 7-8 hours and a lot of that was faffing with recordings etc. (also remember that a lot of my engine bay was already removed so that also helped!) Neither me or Jon had done this before but we smashed it! Truthfully (and as you will see...) we didn't even end up following the manual as I couldn't really understand the instructions. Whether this is the right way of doing a cam chain replacement or not who knows but we have a new chain and it runs like a charm!
PLEASE BE AWARE, DO NOT TURN THE SPROCKET PULLER BY HAND AS IT MAY TURN THE WHOLE SPROCKET AND MUCK UP THE ENGINE TIMING - We used an impact gun and this worked for us.
As always, be careful and have fun!

Thanks to your video I've just spent the last 3 days replacing my timing chain. It was very awkward, as most things are on an R53. Most of the time was spent removing parts to get to the chain and then replacing the parts once it was fitted. I did refer to your video a couple of times to check I was on the right course. Keep your videos coming. They're great!

@ChrisNieves
@ChrisNieves 3 года назад
You can definitely insert the guides with the chain in place, even without the front end already ripped off for ease of work. Also the crank sprocket dot (the top one) should be right on that line on the block. If it all lines up properly your pistons should all be even plane using equal rods for measure. I had severe chain stretch and both the cam and the crank sprockets jumped teeth so I had to time from scratch. While I was there I replaced everything with a complete timing kit.

@@ModAMiniGarage definitely not a difficult job I had to complete my timing job on my butt, in the dark with a flashlight (and a small auxiliary light) because my r53 is my daily transporter to work. Wheels up to wheels down was about 4 hours as I was taking care of things while I was there as well. I can confidently say I can do the job in half the time wheels up to down. I think the toughest part is getting the pin in for the belt removal man who designed that nonsense as a solo job...
@liamfanning_75
@liamfanning_75 3 года назад
One very important thing you missed... you NEED to put anti sieze on any stainless fasteners especially when going into a dissimilar metal like aluminum. My guess is that at least a few of those valve cover bolts are now in there for good and will need drilling. The longer you wait to take them out and put them in properly with anti sieze the less likely you are to get them out at all especially if some road salt gets in there and speeds up the corrosion (yes aluminum corrodes in case you didnt know that, its the white powdery build up you can get off with a wire brush). If that is a returning customer i strongly recommend getting the car back in there to do that because it would really suck to have to do a cylinder head replacement or at the very least removal and repair if those bolts were to snap.

@raymondrizzuto7997 4 года назад
I have been chasing an issue in my R52 for months that caused it to go into limp mode. I finally gave up and had a mechanic look at it. Turns out the cranks shaft pulley (/harmonic balancer) rubber had perished. The pulley was wobbling, and scrapped up the timing chain cover. He replaced it, plus the front main seal and belt, and seems much better. I think I could have done it myself after watching this video, but just didn't have the time or energy. Next year, I hope to get back to some maintenance - supercharger oil change, oil cooler gaskets. Plus try my hand at redoing the flaking clearcoat.

Apologies for the late reply! You can find tdc using a long screwdriver down the spark plug tube on cylinder one :) When it's at its highest point, that's tdc :) you ideally need to keep turning the engine manually until you get tdc and all the arrows aligned with the chain :) hope this helps, Miriam xx

Julian Goulbourne0 seconds ago Need a bit of advice. Is it possible to discharge the ac radiator by yourself if you want to replace the ac radiator I know there are two ports of the left hand side of the mini r53/r52/passanger side.. I wanted to change the ac radiator.
@ModAMiniGarage
@ModAMiniGarage 2 года назад
To discharge safely you need a machine that will essentially suck out what you have left in, it connects to the valves you mention and removes all the gas. Any company that does ac regases should be able to do this :) The only other way is to release the gas to the atmosphere, this is ILLEGAL in the UK, if you are in Israel as your name suggests this may be different but its very bad for the environment and shouldn't be done.

Perhaps the idle pulley or alternator! Easiest way to check that noise is to take off the aux belt, start the car (don't let it run long as the waterpump won't be running but will be OK for a minute or so) if the noise goes, you know it's something to do with on of the pulleys or the aircon/alternator.

Hey I had a question. At 44:25 into your video after you installed the tensioner back in I saw that the cam is in a different position. Is that because you have to get it to top dead center before starting the car? Because in the Bentley manual I see that the cam and crank sprocket in relation are in a different position than yours. The cam at about 2o'clock and the crank at 6o'clock. I have it set up like how you guys did with the timing tool in cam at 12o'clock and the crank at 3o'clock. I just really wanna be sure before starting up my car. Please help thanks. J.

Unfortunately the music in the video got copyrighted and RU-vid cut the sound out where the talking should be really annoyed but there's nothing we can do about it :( I will need to remake the videos sometime but its really hard as this took HOURS! Sorry its not the best 😞 Miriam xx

@ModAMiniGarage 3 года назад
Just replacing all the bolts that hole the cover down, mostly they are really corroded nowadays so they are worth replacing :) hope this helps, Miriam xx

@@ModAMiniGarage heck yeah it did thank you. This video actually helped me with some insecurities I was having after buying my mini. I researching after about all the issues had instant buyers remorse.

@@ModAMiniGarage how is that timing chain kit though ? It seems kind of cheap nervous about doing such a big job and using cheaper parts

Don't use cheap ones, not worth the risk really. We went with one that's tried and tested and so far no issues at all :) covered 8k miles and various trackdays and it's been fine :) Miriam xx

It’s unfortunate but I think you are trying to capitalize on ModMini’s channel

Thanks for watching :) you are correct, we are in no way associated with Mod Mini - we do however love his videos and content :) We run a company in the UK www.modamini.co.uk so our RU-vid channel maintains this branding. Our channel was originally Mod A Mini... We renamed it and added 'Garage' when we realised the similarities to help differentiate between the 2 :) hope that this helps! Miriam
