With a little luck within two weeks. Seeing as it's apart I'm adding a few other things, so it should all be back togather in about two weeks.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure. The paper work says 1380cc. It was replaced a couple of years ago.

What work did you do to fix the over-temp problem? And do you yo-yo when not on cc? It seems like you still have a vacuum leak somewhere.

The over-temp problem maybe from the water being boiled off from the coolant mixture. The yo-yo kinda thing happens every now and then on CC its really weird

You can get a good room for $50-60 without even making a reservation this time of year so what ever.
Got my resistration done on-line today....Whoo Hoo!
Talked with owner of an alignment shop today....while he's never done a MINI before, he has done highend cars and has built up performance suspension's in the 18+ years in the business. Seemed to be cool dude and he would be doing the work himself. Also I could "hang out" and observe + fine tune it with me in the drivers seat. Going to let him give it a try.....under my "watchful" eye. If this doesn't fly....I'll be down to Fresno to have the "pro" do it.
