MINI Cooper N12/N16 Cylinder Head Assembly Part 1

MINI Cooper N12/N16 cylinder head assembly
In 2021 BMW AG told the newtis.info website to shut down or face the consequences. BMW now charges $30.00 per day to access their technical data.
This video is for all those DIYers that need the technical information to reassemble the cylinder head components after the machine shop completes valve repairs.
While most manuals will show you the disassembly and then say "installation is the reverse of removal," this video starts with the assembly. After watching, you'll be able to figure out how to remove the cylinder head components prior to taking it to the machine shop.
Here's the link to part 2, installing vacuum pump, eccentric shaft servo motor, vanos solenoids, etc.

Alongside ensuring the vacuum pump bore aligned, it is also important to ensure that the eccentric shaft sender unit bore is aligned as well. Aligning the vacuum pump bore will, in most cases, ensure the eccentric shaft bore is also aligned. Both can leak and quite often do after a rebuild where the bearing bracket has been removed and the procedure for realignment hasn't been followed.

Excellent point; thanks for adding that.

Hi, thank you for your video! Used it the past couple of months when the expansion plug in my son's base R56 came out and made an awful mess of everything. Just got the head reassembled today and will be getting the car running in the next week or so (hopefully). And as one retired AF to another (you've got the vibe.. and the shirt): Aim High.

Glad to be of help! So this was your first R56 cylinder head rebuild? Don't forget to reset your adaptations and pre lube the engine before starting.

In that case, you disable the fuel (pull fuse 46) and ignition, and crank the engine.

Great video and i am following it when i get the head off my N12. Do you have a link for the Valve tool used to get the Valve springs out and back in? I am to many variations and seem way to cheap to be right.

@@MichaelGibbs Don't!!! If you've got the head off, you'll want to install the deepee SBI valve seats. N Series engines tend to drop valve seats after valve work or if the engine is over heated.

Hi. What are the differences on n12 and n16 engine?

@superk4562 3 ай бұрын

On the cylinder head, the only difference is the N16 has a plug where the oil pressure switch is located on the N12.

Cylinder head is German, was engineered by BMW because of their Vanos and Valvetronic technology. Block is french.
