    Anybody know how big a job time wise and cost it will be to replace the engine block on a cooper s ? The cylinders are scored, can i just replace the liners ?

    Its an easy job to remove the engine and box in one,I agree about getting a replacement engine much easier and cheeper









    No engine hoist needed just a trolley jack

    it'd be a lot easier to source a complete engine or just replace the bottom end i can't remember the last time i saw a mini head off but i didn't think it had liners? like i said i don't do engine work to that degree yet

    The mini does not have liners, source a block or preferrably a complete engine
