HI

I had an engine problem in my Mini.

 

issue is abnormal oil consuption, the car run perfect but drink a lot of oil.

i take off the engine and send to a Mini specialist to repair.

 

He found ring and piston worn, and a crankshaft damage.

at this moment he has order spare from Med in Uk, next week start to re-assembly the engine with +040" piston

 

I ask him change single timing chain with a duplex chain with tensioner.

I buy a Accuspark kit to eliminate point from distributor.
