NP don't forget to line all the cam timing marks up before you disassemble everything and loosen the cam nut and crank bolt. Then line up the dots before taking the chain and sprockets off.

The solid seal is the one to use if you're lucky enough to have one.

Try around the other Mini spares type shops, there may still be some available, however the latest "genuine" iones from Rover have caught a few people out including some "specialists" by being the soft one in a Rover package
