Here's a look inside the engine of a Mini Cooper!
The Mini Cooper uses a 1.6L Inline 4 cylinder engine. It is very strongly built, featuring an iron block, iron ladder frame crank journals integrated into the upper oil pan, aluminum head and a single overhead camshaft. The Tritec engine was co-developed with BMW and is a very simple design, with a single timing chain from crank to camshaft.
Unfortunately, these engines can be plagued with issues, most commonly being low compression. Low compression can be caused my burnt or cracked valves, a cracked piston or worn compression rings. The engine in this video was burning a lot of oil and had carbon build up. It was out of a 2005 Mini Cooper with 260,000km.
