@TheDevilVaper 3 года назад

Most common issues on these are the timing chain and tensioner. Another thing to look for is oil starvation. The THP engines suffer from burning through roughly a litre of oil every 1000miles, and the dipstick also reads incorrectly (shows more oil than is actually in the engine)

@TheDevilVaper 3 года назад

Oooh, and to add another possible cause of the problem; Take the inlet manifold off and have a look at the top of the valves. These usually get covered in oil deposits from the PCV system and require wallnut blasting to remove it. Please take note that processes that clean the engine through the fuel system (such as Terraclean) do not work, as the injectors spray into the cylinder and not on top of the valves. Hope this helps once again, mate!

@damo336 3 года назад

It's a nice little motor,great colour,I worked on a 1.4 litre years ago,turned out timing had slipped,we got it 98% right,but was a little lumpy at idle,but drove great,and it's still going as far as I know,your mini has a great spec, well worth spending time on it,fair play to you.👍 Damo (Rep of Ireland)

@TheBenLG 3 года назад

At 87k miles it could be carbon buildup on the intake valves causing the misfire. Good news is the high pressure fuel pump seems ok and the timing chain didn't rattle too bad. One other thing relating to the back seat being out, it might be worth changing the fuel filter, they are listed as a lifetime part but I did mine at 75k and it was jet black and full of debris. Looking forward to seeing what you do as I have one and I've done most of the common fixes. Just need to change the valve stem seals on mine...

@MrAssassinash 3 года назад

Done my head gasket, changed pistons and seals and timing chain the lot. Even ported and polished cylinder head and ofcorse changed valve seals. Fun car.

Watch out for the piston to go Kaboom. Happened to 2 of mates. These engines are notorious for that, despite the tuners saying it's the same as the stronger BMW 2.0 versions ;)

@TruckerGaz 3 года назад

These Peugeot engines suffer with the cam pulleys slipping as they are an interference fit with no key way. There was a recall at Peugeot for this problem. I have come across this problem on the minis as well. The pulley moves roughly half to a tooth out on the timing chain.

@bigstevemex 3 года назад

These engines suffer with coking up of the inlet valves. I did a Cooper S exactly the same last year. Took off the inlet manifold and plugs out,turned engine until the valves were shut on each cylinder in turn. Used foaming oven cleaner to break down carbon deposits the with a seal pick and a borescope,scraped all the carbon off and finished off with brake cleaner and nylon bottle brush. Reassembled and it was perfect. Love this channel. Steve

Timing chain has plastic holders that breakdown over time and miles, had that happen to ours after 84k miles. Bad design as right close to heat of engine.

@mikec6919 3 года назад

I’m sure it’s bought at the right money, but my money is on bad timing, sounds like death rattle when you started it (google r56 death rattle) timing chain tensioner failure and new chain + tensioner normally sorts them, very little point doing a compression test until you have confirmed the tensioner failed as it will just be out of time, hopefully it’s not damaged anything else, awful engines to work on generally but they drive very well when they drive right!

The 1071s raced in the upto 1100cc saloon car championship and the 1275cc Cooper s raced in the unlimited saloon car championship all engines could be fitted with either a 593 highlift camshaft or a 694 highlift camshaft. The 1071cc engine was described as a square engine as stroke was the same as the bore. All engines could be fitted with a red crankshaft which was factory made and was stronger than the standard crank. All 3 versions had factory entries in all three events. Baking is my hobby engineering was my occupation for 40 years. You sir are talking about things you know nothing about. The mini driven by Paddy Hopkirk in the Monte Carlo rally was a 1071cc version. Pat Moss also drove the 1071cc version. The original mini on sale to the public had an 850cc engine later it was bored out to 995cc and upgraded and was called the mini cooper. Had stronger and wider wheels and front disc brakes.
