MINI COOPER ENGINE BLOCK DISASSEMBLY

[@joehodgekins8423]

Love how you actually show what to do

[@GeorgeAusters]

That’s always the goal for me!

[@markholyoak9790]

well done George on doing engine strip down i have watched them all. I just hope you remember where anything goes back , i wouldn't remember.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Appreciate you watching Mark!

[@andymurdoch1346]

Good effort. Twice as rewarding when you do it yourself and take your time.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Definitely - won’t be rushing this one!

[@johnmorrison9072]

Loving the content right now, i will be doing a full strip down and rebuild of an engine at my car maintenance course next week

[@GeorgeAusters]

Nice, good luck mate👊🏻

[@petebrown6952]

Keep at it brother, you will never regret it! UK Pete.

[@michaelclutton8446]

Thanks for the videos I really enjoy watching your work on this engine

[@GeorgeAusters]

Appreciate it Michael!

[@valshin]

Thanks a lot for those 2 remaining bolts hint

[@johnrussell5245]

I hope you'll be following through with the machining and then rebuilding of this engine.

[@GeorgeAusters]

May not need any machining yet!

[@jackbean4693]

Keep these coming!

[@GeorgeAusters]

Will do!

[@jonricketts6570]

Nice one George loving the progress of the strip down looking forward to more

[@williamkrusejr1846]

Thats great the engine is better than you thought ,its still a good amount of work. I am sure it was a relief we will keep watching.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks man!

[@cosmodog4845]

Thank George, very interesting.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks mate!

[@Roadkill7878]

Well done. No mean feat for your first time 👍🏻

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks mate👌🏼

[@officialwillieg2001]

Great video George!🔥

[@GeorgeAusters]

Cheers as always mate!

[@chrisgermann6658]

Will you be sending the block off to be re bored and re faced?. Excellent video mate thanks for the upload.

[@GeorgeAusters]

I will be measuring the cylinders to see if they are worn past the tolerance, same with the block and head - checking for any warping

[@brunosperka6933]

Btw: using a torque wrench like that has most likely stuffed up its calibration. It's a measuring instrument, not a brute force tool....

[@MrSnookerballs]

polish the crank then fit new shells both main and big end. do NOT use the same ones.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Lol I’d never use old bearings

[@TheRedgtv2000]

I would replace all 16 valves since they are fairly cheap. I have seen cases people only changing the burnt or broken ones and down the road the other valves can fail.

[@GeorgeAusters]

No need to change the intake valves but I will be changing the exhaust valves👍🏻

[@user-hc3dr6mx2c]

@@GeorgeAusters good decision to replace the exhaust valves 👍

[@LifeOfErnie]

Thanks a lot!! Nice Video!!😊👍🏼

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks bud!

[@colinblick4903]

Not a fan of the sandwich block….. reminds me of rovers…..arghhh!!😵‍💫

[@GeorgeAusters]

Haha!

[@garycook1517]

well done buddy

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks Gary!

[@robwebster7406]

Keep up the great work 👍 also think of Thomas the Tank Engine and have a look at them pistons 😏

[@GeorgeAusters]

Haha yeah I noticed that👌🏻

[@aluchidechiokinawa1111]

great i wil do it too

[@Dannitk]

🙌🏼

[@GeorgeAusters]

❤️

[@marcedwards8214]

I would check what cylinder liners you have before a rehone, as it's an aluminium block they are most likely nikasil coated and a rehome will destroy all the cylinders they have to be chemical stripped and recoated, all the best with rhe rebuild excellent vid 👍

[@GeorgeAusters]

Rehone or rebore you mean?

[@marcedwards8214]

@@GeorgeAusters yeah sorry rebore, think nikasil u just use a light hone

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yeah this may only need a hone

[@federicotorresbordils7624]

Did you rev it too much without oil ? :) :) :) BimmerN53

[@GeorgeAusters]

Nope, wasn’t me👍🏻

[@ze4le937]

If you need it going through, look up barum engines. We’re a ways away, but can always be crated over. Look up their channel, Barum Engines.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Appreciate it mate, going to try and do everything myself though!

[@jonpenningtton2176]

Rumour has it that once you strip one of these they never go back or run the same again,

[@GeorgeAusters]

And why would that be?😅

[@jonpenningtton2176]

The mate had one, head went on it, had a total rebuild, never ran the same again,

[@GeorgeAusters]

@@jonpenningtton2176 Did he skim the head?

[@jonpenningtton2176]

Yep, had a full port polish too.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Why did he skim the head?

[@simon_sjw9973]

Loved it

[@GeorgeAusters]

Glad to hear Simon!

[@pigdrivers]

N14 and N18 engine block are same ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Pretty much
