My new rod bearings will be here on Tuesday but it will probably be a few weeks before i can get to it. I’m currently working on videos about methanol injection in my R56
I'm new to the mini I just bought 1.6 supercharged 6spd how do you identify the trans type in the mini so I can get specs on fluids cause I wanna drain the old and put new in it
With rod knock, will the journals still be good? how long was the car running with a rod knock? I'll be trying this method and I'm worried it is the rod bearings since I live in an apartment I can't really just rip the engine apart and dive into this

So sorry it ended up being a rod knock man. I know you will fix it better than stock. Can't wait to follow the build.

Have any metal shavings in the oil filter as well?
There wasn’t any, but i did find them in the oil pan when i replaced the bearings

What if the knock is incredibly mild? Really hard to hear in neutral with no load. Will I still feel a screw driver move?
If you can’t detect any movement then it’s probably not your rod bearings causing the knock
@@ProjectMini I tried it, absolutely no movement.
