Hi everyone, I just wanted to leave a link here to a guy who is doing an engine rebuild on his R56 JCW. He has other good videos about working on his mini doing repairs and modifications which I have not seen anywhere else on youtube.

I've been following Milan since he bought his R56 JCW. He's part of the reason I decided to give my channel some actual focus. I am actually receiving his old JCW Turbo today to go in my R55 S.

 

Its unfortunate that he has that misfire problem with his cylinder 2, but his loss is definitely our gain. The only other well documented youtuber who has done an engine removal is Mod MINI, but he did that on an R53 which I feel is different enough from R56 that I wouldn't rely on it.
