Tool came on today's UPS truck. Looks just like the photos Nathan posted. Worked pretty good too! Seals have been replaced, and fuel injectors...
Thanx Nathan, I don't do enough posting to know how to get the best links.
Here 'ya go --- (edit --- Might have to search the site for the tool # 130190) Assenmacher Specialty Tools from ASTtool.com Instructions on how...
My Manual Boost Controller is used in conjunction with a Garrett turbo. MBC's control the waste gate opening, and OEM turbo's waste gates are...
This time I’m doing my own mod rebuild work, and making most of the expected first-timer Mini overhaul mistakes. I’m posting this to help...
A leaky tensioner will drain back into the oil pan. The oil will drain along the same paths that oil from the valve springs, cams, etc, drain....
The tensioner is a hydraulic cylinder, and is pressurized to apply tension and keep the chain taut. When the engine is not running --- no oil...
All I can suggest then, is to take things apart to find out where the oil is coming from. With luck, the solution will be obvious, and easy ---...
Your pics show oil near the timing chain tensioner --- a common source for oil leaks. A whole lot cheaper to fix. Maybe a bit painful to get at,...

Here's an embarrassing update --- the dual OCC was NOT a fix! Turns out that my PCV was shot, preventing crankcase pressure from escaping to the...
I'm still looking for a detailed explanation that's probably only available from a Mini engineer. In the meantime, Dave's explanation works....
This is going nowhere! In the interest of the OP, I’m dropping my subscription to this thread. Hopefully, there’s something useful for him here.
Since Dave can't / won't answer this question, will someone else offer an explanation?
OK, you've taken a basic description of a complex system, and made some assumptions on how / why it works "better". So, how do you explain why the...
Where did this bit of info come from?
Sorry Dave, I can't agree with this --- it's in direct contradiction to the Bentley Manual and info from the OP's "competent mechanic". Can't...
Lotsa opinions on this subject. I'm convinced that driving habits / style make all the difference. Here's a link to my experience with OCCs...
Bought a whole new gauge kit, just to get the correct hose size. First set of readings (post #5) was with the new hose and my old gauge --- it has...
