Great video! I just finished the same job along with a coolent sensor and thermostat. Now getting a P1692 (of course after the front is totally reassembled. No idea what’s causing it...
Where did you get new grommets for the valve cover bolts!? They're impossible to get without getting the bolt/washer and grommet. Close to $200!! I made new grommets out of some universal grommets on my bench grinder, but I'd like to have the correct ones! Just thought I'd ask. Thanks!

and the main problem is that you will blow the engine since several parts are not reinforced like on the R53. Plus, many other components must be changed, compression ratios are different between both, ECUs must be swapped, etc...so almost no one has done it since it is so expensive that it is better to just buy an R53 :)
nice video. my only worry would be the seal behind the gears on the water pump side. your lucky the gears were good. they cost !
God knows how long later and she’s still pulling strong 💪🏼

Thank you! If you need any help feel free to give me a follow on Instagram and drop me a message 👍🏼
Great job how many milliliters go into the non pulley side and torque specs would’ve been nice, appreciate the video🙏🏻👍👿👎💯
Great video! Looks like I don’t need to worry about the internal oil seal between the PTO side and the pulley side?

Why most mini owner's prefer the r53 over the r56?
Supercharger whine, and more robust.
What did you use as your valve cover bolts??
Stainless steel replacements eBay item number- 124507348994
I've heard stainless steel bolts should not be used on aluminium parts.
@@ΑνδρέαςΚολόκας there’s not many options to replace the old oem rusted ones 👍🏼

Nice work!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Can i put supercharge on my r50?
It would be an awful lot of work. The battery is in a different place to start with.
Anything is possible but as Huw Jones has said it’s going to be a lot of work

Maybe it's Forge Motorsport, not sure.
Gasket outside the screwhole sounds not like a good idea
😊
Kleines Pulley und die Originalen Einspritzdüsen na ja hätte 380 Düsen verbaut käme besser
