Hi there

I'm currently re-building an a+ turbo engine for my mini. I'm very concerned about keeping the enigine cool as i dont want to drill any holes or alter the body work. What is everyone else using (cooling wise and rad wise). I was maybe thinking of charge cooled. Also where can i buy some screw in oil gallery plugs.

thanks Neil

cooling wise a normal side mount rad will be fine, try a minispares 2 core mine worked fine when it was side mounted.

the gallery plugs aren't really an off the shelf jobby though, you'll need to measure the size of gallery hole then find some small grub screws that are slightly bigger and tap the galleries to suit. Can't remember off the top of me head what size we used on me mates engine.
