Thanks for sharing the experience. Replacing timing chains/belts always seem extreme complicated to me. I'd be too scared to do it myself, although I like to work in my own car. Also, every car seems to need a specific tool set to remove them. Must be expensive to start as a mechanic.

@CoatsandGaiters 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the comment. This is only the first part of 2 maybe 3 videos on this job. I'd hope you could do it after watching one of my videos. I used to panic over timing belts but now I think if you take it steady and do each step carefully without being under pressure anyone can do them. That's the aim of my videos, I hope to help anyone do the job even if they lack experience. This is still my first timing chain on this engine. I've never worked on a MINI engine before last week.

Thank you for the work producing this video. I suspect my timing chain is on its way out as I keep seeing brass colored flakes and odd grit in the drain pan on oil changes. I think the flakes are the coating from the chain and the grit is the UHDP plastic wearing off the guides.

@CoatsandGaiters 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the compliment. Trying to think back I don't think I recall any brass in regard to the timing chain. Brass is sometimes uses on bearings and spaces on the end of the crank possibly, though I recalling brass spacers from my old Austin Allegro. Worth checking the chain though and never hurts to change it.

Thanks for uploading such a great tutorial. I do have an auto R53, I will replace the timing chain on my car. Does that gear and brake trick also applies to auto? Though I do have an air tools torque wrench, which I used last time to remove the harmonic balancer. Thanks

@CoatsandGaiters Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I think that trick only applies to the manual gearbox. Not sure if PARK would lock things up the same.

@johnhorgan5313 2 жыл бұрын

Does the camshaft mark line up to top dead centre (TDC)? It would be good to line up the crankshaft also, in case the timing chain position has moved. THe only way I can think of to line up the crankshaft (unless there is a mark as on the camshaft) is to put a screwdriver into cyl. 1 or 4 and rotate the engine until the piston is at the top of its travel. That of course is provided the camshaft mark aligns at TDC.

@CoatsandGaiters 2 жыл бұрын

I’d have to re read the manual but I only recall the camshaft and crank marks must line up with the 3 timing chain links as I recall off hand.

Thank you for your work and video. I have a one problem on my Cooper R50, engine (W10B16A) 1.6 116 HP. In a service (Romania), the guys changed my car's timing chain, oil and filters. Since then my car does not run like before. The torque are not what they used to before. I went back and told them that everything was fine. I've been to several places, but no one knows what the problem could be. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for your answer

Thank you. It wasn't out but the links wont fully align unless you turn the engine many many times, something like 15 times. I did try it once to see how many engine revolutions it would take for all timing marks to align again.

@CoatsandGaiters What I should of said is I did not have the tensioner bolt in, so the chain was loose.

Is there a way of aligning the cam with the crank if they are out of alignment?

Is it actually safe to drive or do you recommend chainging the chain way before this , when I put my ear close tot the engine I hear the chain rattle a little bit and I’m paranoid that it might break (it’s way quieter then yours used to be , I have a Mini Cooper with almost 130000 miles and as far as I know it has never been changed (I’m going on a holy day with the car)

@CoatsandGaiters 2 жыл бұрын

I think the fear is the chain may jump a tooth if it's loose which may lead to other issues or problems. The tensioner may be an issue if it's not working correctly or is stuck. Mine was pretty noisy but I also had another rattle from the gearbox at the same time which I had to mend after the chain job. I always think it's a good idea to be sympathetic to engines as they get old and wear and avoid giving them a good hard throttling especially if things are starting to wear out.
