Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to replace the gaskets on the rocker cover of a Mini Cooper R56.

Let's see how to replace the gasket of the tappet cover of a Mini Cooper R56: we need to remove all the bolts around the cover and clean any residue of the old gasket that may have accumulated or stuck using a cloth and some solvent. We place the new gasket (it costs 12.55 euros on auto-doc, but then there are 9.95 euros for shipping costs). In the corners (and only in the corners) we use a black silicone paste for better fixation (you can find it on Amazon for 11.89 euros, free delivery). It's a job that doesn't take more than 30 minutes.
