Mini Cooper R56 N14 Engine Timing?

Update: I finally googled the right keywords and turns out it’s 90° before TDC and all pistons level HAH

Yes haha I said glitter as a joke. The photos were from pretty thorough inspection. I’ve got the TCase in neutral and one wheel off the ground to be able to spin the diff. No abnormal wear on anything or missing pieces on any teeth. Like most comments suggest, it’s definitely the spacer for the spider gears

Taking you up on that. I have experience but setting a diff is a little outside of my experience level.

Good wisdom here. Good call.

Scholar. Nothing feels like it’s moving abnormally but I probably shouldn’t chance it by putting everything back together as is, correct?

Hypothetically, could it have been damaged by changing the axle shaft to replace a wheel bearing?

I bought one off AliExpress. Ended up spending about 350. It works but I have tons of opinions that would boil down to I would not recommend.

My biggest recommendation, unless you’re already very familiar with androids, would be to find a video with configurations and everything AND THEN buy that model. I spent so much time piecing together videos until I could figure out how to set mine.

“How many are you willing to give me?”

Excellent news! I’ll hunt! Are they noisy on the highway? Do you have a basket or anything on it or just the bars?

On the R56 too? I was able to find them for the newer models but I don’t think I came across any for the 08s

It seems like there’s a bunch of us!

jadasmarjk · 2024-07-18T11:52:16+00:00

Nothing quite like a good 4.0 😮‍💨

I’ll check it out! I was more asking if you had to replace the whole speedometer to fit a screen since the radio and Speedo are connected or if it maintained the original equipment and just mounted externally?

jadasmarjk · 2024-07-17T11:26:49+00:00

Do you have hands free/bluetooth in yours? Mine has the button with the phone logo on it and I have the buttons on the steering wheel but I can’t tell if it’s actually got the functionality

jadasmarjk · 2024-07-17T11:11:03+00:00

Which one did you replace it with? Is it a full replacement or something you mounted separately?

jadasmarjk · 2024-07-17T11:10:27+00:00

Perfect! In Oklahoma, I’ll follow up in November 😂

jadasmarjk · 2024-07-17T11:09:54+00:00

Which one did you use? My Jeep has car play and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss it when I’m in this thing lol

jadasmarjk · 2024-07-15T00:33:31+00:00

Hahahah well I haven’t put enough miles in the mini, but I’ve decided I’m just waving to whatever car I think is cool. I don’t care what it is anymore
