Found a possible filter...
K&N part number 33-2736... Its for a Ford Fiesta of all things! I guess it works out though, because if you cross reference a S/C belt for a 15% pulley it comes up for a 1.9L Ford Escort!![]()

Well thanks for the words of encouragement...
Either way I am showing up in a MINI this year at least.-

Thats when I pull the top off the box (not pictured or built yet) and put a high strength magnetic sheet over the hole in the hood... I left plenty of room between the top of the box and the sheetmetal for this reason.-

Looks like the total damage was minimal... No scaring on the crank or rod from the spun bearing! Probably could have got away with stuffing in a new rod bearing set from MINI ($350.00 fix), but it also looks like I was about to pop the head gasket on #2...
Now its off to the tool store for the right socket to get the clutch off.-

Got to do a little after work...
Tranny and engine are now connected and using my original clutch/pressure plate/flywheel... Not enough extra $$$ to get a new one, so it will have to do. Clutch disk has a little left to it, and it wasnt slipping when the rod bearing carped out, so I trust it for a little while.
Oil filter housing/heat exchanger is installed.
Decided to put the starter on before putting the engine back. (Just because it was such a pain to get out.)
Reusing my original oil pan, with new gasket. That will go on with the engine hanging in place.
Cam sensor swapped with my original and new O-ring.
Water temp sensor replaced with my original.
New idler pulley installed.
And some other stuff I probably forgot to mention.-

Don't cry to me that this is somehow is my fault since you are the one that set the timeline. I mean you started this long before last years Dragon.
At least now you have the time to take all the time you need. A mad thrash to put a car together is never a good idea if you plan to drive it across the country. Enjoy your free time.-

Ah, the MINI spiral of death, been there done that. One minor repair leads to a major one after an "incident". My favorite: back in the day before I bought a lift, didn't have the jack far enough from the car, and blew out the lower trim piece lowering it. Swore I'd never do THAT again. So, a year later, I did the exact thing. Other side though, at least I have two new pieces of trim instead of the same one twice, so there's that.
I'm blaming Dave on that one too.-

Still ordering parts as planned.
Other than the RMW shorty header (OBD-4 gutted cat version) my intake, and the cheapie meth kit, I will also be running a 15% pulley from Helix. Just ordered it.And still on hold for a gently used Gen-1 ViPEC, which should be requiring an 800 mile round trip drive to go pick it up soon!
