How to change your R56 Mini Cooper S Rocker Cover and check the Timing

Hi guys,
We are back again! This is unheard of! Our 3rd video in 2023 is an installation video for a new part we will be listing shortly for aluminium rocker covers (in a colour of your choosing!) if we can get the quality correct!
These aren't currently for sale in our shop but will be in the coming months so keep your eyes peeled on our KZbin and socials :)
I really hope that you like this video - we really enjoyed working together to record and edit! Definitely one of the easier modifications to do and not crazy expensive either! But they make in our opinion a MASSIVE difference to the looks of the engine bay!! As always if you need a hand with anything please do get in touch with us on the socials below - including install at our workshop facilities in Chelmsford Essex (we promise not to kick your wheels hahaha) :)
Lots of love and see you all soon,
Miriam xx

Hi do you change valve stem seals by any chance, thanks

[@ModAMiniGarage]

We can do valve stem seals with no problems at all :) we can also do them without removing the head :) So, makes the job a little cheaper to :) Feel free to get in touch, with me, [e-mail] Miriam xx
