I do media blasting in pittsburgh, PA

I am set up in Pittsburgh, PA to do media blasting and Noise Maker deletion on R56 MCS models as a side gig. $250 a shot, includes new head to intake plenum gaskets. I am also in the process of piecing up a low cost freer flowing noise maker delete solution as well. I have been turning wrenches for 20+ years and am a mechanical engineer that minored in automotive systems design and dynamics at a Big 10 college. shoot me a PM if interested.

What part are you in? Wife and I have 3 Minis and are in Hopewell. I already cleaned the valves and did the turbo muffler and noise maker delete on her R57. I do most everything myself as well but nice to see another one in the area. Not many know about these cars and the stealership is too far away.

Cool. If I want to do the valves again I’ll give you a shout. I see you did your timing chain? I might need to do the wife’s R57one of these years. Good to know there’s another Mini wrencher in the area. Not many around me anyway know about them.

Yeah, the chain it self wasn't all that bad, the trick is just lining up the cams so its timed right.
