Hi Modmini. This (and the 2.0l neon engine) is the reason that the Mini engine moved the cylinder head oil feed to between cyl 2&3 and went with a multi-layer stainless steel head gasket. The Neon engine eventually switch to a SS gasket as well but I can't remember what year. Maybe 2003?

great instructional video

What if the belt came off while driving, How do I set the engine back in time to install a new belt so I can do a compression test ? I know there can be engine damage already.

is that sealant you put on the cam end seal??

head gasket failure oil comes out valve cover gaskets too as it did on my :(

Great clip. you say it may be possible to re-install the timing belt crankshaft gear too far. Suggest to your viewers then they measure the gap somewhere against the block before removal. Also, does the accessory pulley snug up against the timing belt gear or does it bottom out first?

Hello Mod MINI,
Perhaps you can provide me with more insight on the "common cause" of the head gasket failure on this particular engine. For example, is it a bad head gasket design, thermostat, head bolts, head bolt threads (like the northstar engines).
Any additional information is appreciated. Thanks for your time. -

The head gasket on my 98 Plymouth Breeze 2.4L DOHC 4 CYL blew at 59,000 Km's!!! Other than that, great peppy engine!!!! It now has 200,000 Km's on it an running great.

Great video and INSTRUCTIONS!! Unfortunately I skipped a Major portion in my work !! I forgot to remove the pulleys (timing belt uppers) and was wondering if I should put the timing belt back on and start over? Or have I messed up totally!!???
