Very good video instruction. Thank you.

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

[@paulgore9127]

nice informative video. Have a few jobs to do on my R53 over the spring and your videos will certainly come in handy. Cheers. 👍

[@ProjectMini]

Thank you! I’ll be doing a water pump and supercharger service video real soon. I’m really glad these videos are helpful 👍

[@paulgore9127]

@@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?

[@ProjectMini]

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.
