Been a busy few days at CG Auto Repair. 2010 Mini came to us with no compression in cylinder 1. The owner was told the engine would need to be replaced as was unfixable by a few garages. Knowing Mini the way we do we suggested that is most probably a burnt out valve and perfectly fixable which was very much the case here. Head removed and skimmed. New exhaust valve fitted, all valves removed, inspected and lapped back in to make sure there is good compression across all cylinders. New valve stem seals also as these engines are very prone to them failing. Needless to say new head gasket set and head bolts, also new timing chain fitted. The owner was very pleased to have the car back and running like it should
