Hey guys.. wondering if anybody on here can impress me with super-geek levels of Mini engine knowledge. A guy at work is looking for the following info..

(I'm guessing this is for Pre- r56 cars - I asked him which model Cooper, s, R56 etc etc- and he looked at me blankly :laugh:) so assume it's eariler models..
Can anybody tall me the diameter of the valve stems and if possible the valve guide diameter? I'm guessing he's looking for a cheaper alternative to something MG related (he has a ZS and a nice ol BGT V8) but I'm nervous to ask :laugh::laugh:
Probably something to do with wondering if the following valve stem oil seals will fit his car...

I know I should probably have just shook my head and walked away ;):D



Cheers!

Possibly... but neither of us have them..

I'll maybe tell him to go sneak a look in one in Halfrauds :laugh:

Bentley manual only available online AFAIK, much better than the Haynes
