    Ive had it up for sale on CL for a while and haven't had any hits so that seems to be out of the question. Regardless I bought the car to keep it. I wanted to turn it into a rally car. I am just wondering if its worth keeping or is the engine gonna blow up on me.

    really hope the OP lets us know what Helix does for them. That's a cool car with a good, solid tune(lots of them out there)...it SHOULD run really well...

    Before you give up on the car you need to get a better mechanic. The stuff you are describing is not unusual, unfortunately, for that engine. But letting you drive off with leaking valve covers is not. Was this a JCW chip tune?

    That's good news and I hope everything works out for you and your MINI. :Thumbsup:

    FYI Helix will not point fingers at who did what and when. :nonod:
    That's not their style. They just want to make sure every MINI is in tip top shape and every customer leaves a happy customer in a well running and safe MINI.
