Very good video instruction. Thank you.
I just did this with the help of your video. Thanks!!
Very good tutorial, I’ll be doing this soon to my r53 along with changing the timing chain and new chain tensioner:
Thank you! Did you see my timing chain video? I just did mine last weekend and it went very smoothly
nice informative video. Have a few jobs to do on my R53 over the spring and your videos will certainly come in handy. Cheers. 👍
Thank you! I’ll be doing a water pump and supercharger service video real soon.
I’m really glad these videos are helpful 👍
@@ProjectMini that’s a job on my list so will watch out for it. 👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah, I just replaced the valve cover gasket but didn't do the plug gaskets. Have your tried starting it since the timing set?
That explains why the valve cover came off so easy lol i started it but it still has the rattle. I was thinking it could be the water pump but it can’t be since it does it with the serpentine belt off. I’m hoping it’s the rocker arms.
