With and slipping belt issue under throttle I could only assume the belt tensioner was on its way out! so before it completely failed I thought it was best to change it. Whilst I was at it I took the opportunity to upgrade the Crank Pulley to a liquid filled ATI Super Damper crank pulley...the holy grail of crank pulleys!!
The tensioner can also be replaced from above which involves lifting the engine slightly with a trolley jack and removing the upper engine mount and bracket. Check out Driveway Buildz link below for this method:

Good informative video! I’m planning on fitting my Superdamper, tensioner pulley and deflector pulley this weekend and after watching this video I’ve learned I don’t have to remove the engine mount and brackets, So thank you very much for that!

Hi Cleo, I found this to be a really useful video. My crank pulley gave up on me and obviously made a mess of the belt and the timing cover. I just completed the job of replacing the crank pulley (OEM), tensioner, idler pulley and belt. It took me about 3 hours and all the info and tips you gave were very much appreciated. I also found a handy way of releasing the crank nut using the starter motor, which you can look up on youtube. Anyway, many thanks and i hope you're keeping well as you haven't posted any videos lately. See you at Brands in the spring hopefully!!!

Very impressed by your video, the detail and explaining of the process is excellent. I wish I would have found your video before I started my project, now I am paying for it! When I got my ATI Super Damper I think they forgot the instructions? Plus when I got my puller, it didn't come with a thrust bolt. Who needs instructions, I am a professional and been working on cars when they had stone wheels. I know everything and instructions are just a piece of paper. Well here's the problem, I stripped the threads and now I have to buy a 12mm X 1.25. So much for knowing everything, coming from a customizer to a Concourse restorer. I guess we all make mistakes? I wouldn't have if I found your great video. BTW your as cute as the Mini Cooper itself! Thanks, from Speedracer

Suggestion for anyone else doing this job... Replace the rubber bushings in the belt tensioner with Powerflex urethane bushings. I put a new OEM tensioner on mine and within 8k miles, one of the rubber bushings disintegrated. BTW, The new OEM bolt already had thread locker pre-applied. No need for additional thread locker.

Hey, realize it has been a minute but is there any way you could tell me what the thread pattern is in the three bolts used to pull the dampener are. The (3) bolts that go through the disc part of the tool and thread into the actual dampener to,pull it as you screw in the bolt that applies tension to the crank. Is this clear enough? Thanks in advance!

Really enjoy your channel. Any reason why you didn't go for a lightened pulley? I'm on the fence as to whether to go for one or not...re- not that clever for engines in the long run but interested to hear your view. The air con Is definitely going,seems that the smart way for that is to fit the idler pulley in its place and not go for just the belt as they can slip. The crank pulleys on the pre face lift cars were apparently pretty awful. Thanks in advance for any advice.👍
@carsandbras2202
@carsandbras2202 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks really appreciate it. And I’ve seen a few lightened crank pulleys over the years break due to the spokes on them being weak, they just shatter. The OEM crank pulley is totally reasonable if it’s being used as a road car or there’s other cheaper liquid filled alternatives :) I’ve kept my aircon but, you can just remove the aircon pulley all together and fit a shorter belt. I’ve heard some issues with the belt slipping under full load when doing this, but it seems to be quite rare

@@carsandbras2202 the reason not to run a solid lightweight pulley is because the engine needs dampened - as a 4 cylinder it is intrinsically imbalanced, and no dampening would cause premature failure of oil gears, bearings, etc. also, the ATI is not fluid filled but instead uses specific types of rubber and clever design to isolate vibrations. There is a company, PRW, that sells a fluid filled damper.

@@BaltomanE46 I gave the girl a compliment. You know, saying something nice about someone. Then again, based upon your response, you may have no idea what that means. To help you understand, a compliment is the opposite of an insult. For example, an insult would be something like calling someone a creep because you are unable to comprehend that there are genuinely nice people in this world who try to do good things and make people smile despite attacks from petty morons. Hopefully that educated you a bit.

@@gregorysorce1898 Ah yes, the typical "I'm a nice guy" argument commonly used by creeps. Well let's dissect your comment a little bit and see how nice you really are shall we? "I think I am in love" - You don't even know this person and you are professing romantic feelings towards her? Classic creep move. "Absolutely gorgeous girl who is intelligent enough to fix a Mini" - Key word here is "intelligent ENOUGH". So you're implying that attractive women or perhaps women in general do not typically possess the intellectual capacity to repair vehicles such as the Mini Cooper. So in other words, sexism. How nice guy of you! "Ahhhhhhh (was that an orgasm?), only if I weren't from the U.S. - Tell me Mr. Nice Guy, what would happen if you lived in the same country as the youtuber? You'd take her out on dates? Marry her? Have a family with her? or probably just stalk the living shit out of her? That's what I thought. You're a creep dude, do yourself a favor and admit it. You're spraying women repellent all over yourself with those kinds of comments, but what do I know? I'm just an uneducated stranger. Peace!
