MINI Cooper N12/N16 Timing Chain Replacement (Non S)

Here’s the timing chain replacement process on the N12/N16 engines. They maybe be slow engines but they are super solid from my experience These non turbo engines are equipped in the following models R55 Mini Cooper Clubman R56 Mini Cooper Hardtop R57 Mini Cooper Convertible R58 Mini Cooper Coupé R59 Mini Cooper Roadster R60 Mini Cooper Countyman R61 Mini Cooper Paceman For reference the procedure is identical to the N18 Timing Chain replacement. Same torque specs and all, just different valve cover and intake and exhaust setups Obviously half of the engine is different but procedures are all the same concept
